Dear Friend,
It is obvious that this proposal will come to you as a suprise.This is
because we have not met before but I am inspired to sending you this email
following the huge fund transfer opportunity that will be of mutual benefit to
the two of us.However, I am Barrister Simon Okeke, Attorney to the late Engr.Ronald James a national of Northern Ameriin Nigeria. On the 11th of
November,2002.My client,his wife And their three children were
involved in a car accident along Sagamu/Lagos Express Road.
Unfortunately they all lost their lives in the event of the accident,
Since then I have made several enquiries to several Embassies to locate any
of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his
relatives over the Internet to locate any member of his family but of no avail,
hence I contacted you.
I contacted you to assist in repartrating the money and property left
behind by my client,I can easily convince the bank with my legal practice that
you are the only surviving relation of my client.
Otherwise the Estate he left behind will be confiscated or declared
unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits were
lodged.Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an account valued at about $15 million U.S dollars(Fifteen million U.S.America dollars).
Conseqently,The bank 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 unsuccesful in locating the relatives for over
several years now.I seek your consent to present you as the next of
kin to the deceased,so that the proceeds of this account valued at $15million U.S dollars can be paid to your account and then you and me can share the
money. 55% to me and 40% to you,while 5% should be for expenses or tax as your government may require.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through and
also forward the following to me:
1,Your Full Name
2,House Address
3,Your Contact Number
4,Your Age and Gender
5,Your Bank name and address
6,Your account number where the money will be transfered to.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of the law.Please get in touch with me VIA this my confidential email <barristersimonokeke01@yahoo.com.hk>
Yours Faithfully,
Barriste Simon Okeke (Esq.)
