Dear Lindsey
I am Barrister ADA PAT Solicitor and the Personal Attorney to Mr A TURNER
a citizen of your country,who used to work with chevron oil exploration
company in Nigeria.On the 2nd of may 1999, 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
10.4 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 5 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 $10.4 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 cooperation to enable us see this dealt through.I
guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law.
pls reply me through this mail (egopat20002000@yahoo.ca) You can also call
me (234-8035703789)
