: TREAT AS URGENT by TUNDE OBASANJO,
Dear Sir,
I am Barrister TUNDE OBASANJO Solicitor and the Personal Attorney to Mr Leonard Scott a citizen of your country who used to work with chevron exploration company in Nigeria.On the 2nd of may 2000,my client,his wife and their three children were involved in a car accident along Sagamu Express Road.All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.
Since then I have made several enquiries 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 relatives over the Internet,to locate
any member of his family but of no avail,hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist in repartrating the money that belong to my client before they get confisicated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits were lodged.
Particularly the Bank where the deceased had an account valued at about 10.5 million dollars has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confisicated within the next ten official working days. since i have been unsuccesfull in locating the the relatives for over 3 years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you are from the same country and bear the same last name so that the proceeds of this account valued at $10.5 million dollars can be paid to you 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,as soon as you indicate your interest,i will go to federal high court of justice to obtain all legal documents(affidavit and letter of adminstration)
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this dealt through and 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 by my email to enable us discuss further.Here is my alternative for easy contact:tundeobasanjo20@yahoo.com
Best regards,
BARR. TUNDE OBASANJO
