Dear Sir

the personal attorney to Forigner who was working with Shell Petroleum Development
Company (SPDC) here in Nigeria,as Director, Operations until his death,
herein shall be refered as my client.On Tuesday the 2nd of November 1999,
precisely 3:22PM Nigerian time,
My client, his wife and their two children were involved in a ghastly auto
accident along Sagbama Express Road in River State, South-South Nigeria,
and unfortunately, all occupants of the vehicle lost their lives. Since
then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of his
extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.
But I was presented by the Chamber of Commerce enquiry department names
that mactches that of my client in order to locate any member of his family
or any close name to his, hence I contacted you first.
I am contacting you to assist in claiming the money and property left behind
by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the
bank where this huge depositswere lodged, particularly the BANK. where
the deceased have his account valued at about US$5.5million dollars deposited
before his untimely death. The bank has issued me a notice to provide the
next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next
twenty one (21) working days.
Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the the relatives for over 2
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 US$5.5 million dollars
can be paid to you and then you and I can share the money according to any
agreed ratio.
Note that I have all the necessary legal documents that can be used to back
up any claim we may make and also his last testament of WILL, which is still
under my posssion and which we will amend to make you elgible to claim the
fund.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law. Note, your accptance mail should
be sent strictly to my private/confidential
email address: barrister_olatundemartins@hotmail.com to enable us discuss
further.
