Subject: Dear Els

Lagos.
Dear Els,
CLAIM
I am the personal attorney to Mr. David Els, who worked as
a sub-contractor with Shell Petroleum Development
Company in Nigeria, herein after shall be referred to as my
client. On the 21st of April 2003, my client, his wife and
their three children were involved in a car accident along
Warri - Port Harcourt road, and all occupants of the
vehicle unfortunately lost there lives.
Since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of
my clients extended relatives, this was unsuccessful. After
these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to check the
name at our local Chamber of Commerce, to locate any member
of his family hence I contacted you.
My interest is to ask for your assistance in repartrating
the money left behind by my client before they get
confiscated or declared unserviceable by the government, or
the finance house where this deposits were lodged.
Now the finance house, where the deceased had an account
valued at about US$5.1m, (Five Million, One Hundred
Thousand U.S. Dollars) has issued me a notice to Provide
the Next of Kin or have the account confisicated within the
next 14 official working days.
Having been unsuccesfully in locating the relatives for
Over 2 years
now, I seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin
to the deceased so that the money will be paid to you.
You can be rest assured that I will provide the necessary
documents required by law to make a legitimate and
successful claim of this inheritable sum. For us to
commence the transaction, your consent and honest
co-operation to enable us see this business through. I
guarantee you that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect both parties from any breach
of the law.
Further details about procedure, and mode of execution of
the claim will be made to you as soon as your reply is
received. Do include your telephone number to facilitate
communication which this transaction requires to succeed.
Please, you are advised to keep this within you, because I
want this to be treated under secrecy until it is completed
for security reasons.
Best regards,
Madaki Adam
