Attn: Sir,
I am Barrister Stanley M Benson, a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney
to Williams Jerry, a national of your country, who used to work with shell
Development Company in Nigeria. Here in after shall be referred to as my
client.
On the 21st of April 2002, my client, his wife and their three children
were involved in a car accident along Shagamu express-road Ogun state Nigeria.
All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their life.
Since then I have made several enquiries to their embassy to locate any
of his relative but all my effort prove abortive. After these several unsuccessful
attempts, I decided to tract 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 where lodged. Particularly the Zenith
bank PLC where the deceased had an account valued at about seven million
USD dollars [USD7,000,000.00] has issued me a notice to provide the next
of kin or have the account confiscated within the next 30 official working
days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in the relatives for over two years now I
seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to claim the fund, AS
a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to my client, so that the proceeds
of this account valued at USD7,000,000.00 can be paid to you as the next
of kin of my client, then you and I will share the fund.
I have resolved that you as my assistant will collect 20% of the total fund;
I will collect 80% of the fund.
I will give you all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up
any claims we may make. All I require is your honesty and truth to enable
us seeing this deal through.
I will like you to provide immediately your full names and address, private
telephone, fax numbers, and your banking particulars e.g. your account number,
beneficiary of the account and the address of the bank for submission to
the bank for immediate approval of the fund into your account as the next
of kin to my client.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law.
Upon your responses, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant
documents that will help you to understand the transaction.
Please observe utmost confidentiality, and be rest assured that this transaction
would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance
to invest my share in your country.
Awaiting your urgent reply via this personal email barrstanleymartins_benson
or telephone number +2348023939422.
Thanks and regards
Barrister Stanley Martins Benson
