Dear Roberts,
I am barrister Ebem Ama, a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney
to Mr.Carmen Roberts, a nationale of your country, who used to work with
Nigeria National Petroleum Company ( NNPC) in Nigeria and as well a one
time secret agent in transfering of money overseas for the Late head of
state of Nigeria {Late Gen. Sani Abacha}.
Before his death On the 21st of April 2003 {my client, his wife and their
three children were involved in a car accident along Badagry Express Road
in which all occupants of the motor died}. My client deposited as family
belongings in a CONSIGNMENT {i.e jewelries} the sum of $11.3 Million in
a citi security and finance company here in Nigeria and from there to citi
royal exchange abroad for himself, with the hope of transferring it to his
country as soon as he is on leave.
Since his death I have made several enquiries to your embassy at any of
my clients extended relatives this has also proved unsuccessful. After these
several nsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his last name, to locate
any member of his family hence I contacted you.I have contacted you to assist
in repartrating this consignment which is money left behind by my client
before they get confisicated or declared unknown by the security company
where this huge deposits were lodged. The Citi ExchageTrust Finance Company
where the deceased had deposited this consignment has issued me a notice
to provide the next of kin or have the consignment confisicated within the
nexttenofficial working days.
Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over 1 year
now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased
since you have the same last name so that the proceeds of this deposit valued
at $11.3 million dollars can be handed over to you and then you and me with
my two collegues can share the money. 60% to us and 40% to you. I will manipulate
the necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may
make. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see that this
deal went through.I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
time arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Please get in touch with me by my email to enable us discuss further .
