Good Day.

not met before. I am Barrister Timothy Jones, a solicitor at law, I

involved in a car accident along Kano - Sokoto express Road while
arriving from Easter Holiday to Warri Delta State. All occupant of the
vehicle unfortunately lost their lives, since then I have made several
enquiries to locate any of my clients extended relatives this has been
unsuccessful.
I came across your name and contact, while I was searching for Pitt's
relations, since my search did not yield the desired result, I had to
contact you for this project.
I am contacting you to assist in repatriating the money and properties
left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared
unserviceable by the finance house where these funds were deposited.

valued $USD18 million Dollars, last year issued me a 12 months notice to provide the
Next of Kin or have the fund consignment confiscated, and this
altimatum expires by next month.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over two
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 proceed of this
deposit valued at $USD18 Million Dollars can be released to you and
then you and I can share the money, 50% for me 45% for you, and the
remaining 5% will be for expenses and tax.
Please,find,picture of the funds as was taken by my client before it
was deposited at the bank, because he made the money in one of the Oil
deals he had with our Oil Minister. Also is the family picture of Engr.
Pitt.This is just to proof to you that my proposal is genuine. I also
have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any
claim we may make.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this
business through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
