Subject: GREETINGS
I am Barrister Kingsley Opia,a Personal Attorney to Mr Miguel Butch,a
foreign national who used to work with shell development company in
Nigeria.On the 2nd of may 2000, my client, his wife And their three
children were involved in a car accident along Ibadan Express Road. All
occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost there 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 $80million 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 4 years now I seek
your consent to present you as the next of kin of the
deceased ,so that the proceeds of this
account valued at $30 million dollars can be paid to
you and then you and me can share the money. 65% to me
and 30% to you,while 5% should be for expenses or tax
as your government may require, I have the certificate
of deposit that can be used to back up any claim we
may make. All I require is your honest cooperation to
enable us see this deal through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any
breach of t he law.Please get in touch with me by my
email to enable us discuss further.
Barrister Kingsley Opia.
