Attention:-Sir/Madam
I am an Accountant with GUARANTY TRUST BANK PLC, My name is Ms.
Jennifer Okosun , I am the personal Account Manager to Engineer
Anderson A , a National of your Country, who used to work with (SHELL
PETROLUME
DEVELOPMENT COMPANY) in Nigeria, as an Expatriate. Here in after shall
be referred to as my client On 21 April 2004. My client, his wife, and
their three children were involved in a car accident along Sagamu
expressway, Lagos.
All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since
then
I have made several inquiries to your embassy to locate any of my
clients extended Relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After
these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his last name
over
the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property
left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared
unserviceable by the bank where these huge deposits are lodged,
particularly
the GUARANTY TRUST BANK PLC. Where the deceased had an account Valued
at about $4,472,000 Million US Dollars. My bank has issued me a notice
to
provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next
ten official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2
years now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the
deceased since you have the same last name so that the proceeds of this
account valued at $4,472,000 Million US Dollars can be paid to you and
then you and me can share the money. 50% to me and 45% to you, the
remaning 5% Percent will be for
settling all foreign expenses (by you) and local expenses (by me)
incidental to the actualization of this deal.
An attorney will be contracted to help us revalidated and notarize
all
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 seeing
this deal through. I guarantee you that this will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the
law. I can send to you my drivers licence, including my international
passport and some of my photos if which to see my face.
Note: I will like you to contact me through my alternative email
address for security reason so here is the email address :
Best Regards,
