Dear Smith,
I am Mr Paul Useni, I work with the office of the Director, Foreign Remittance
Department of Global Bank of Nigeria plc, Lagos Branch. It happend On the
2nd of May 2002, Mr Adams Smith, a national of your country who used to
work with Shell Petroleum Development Company In Nigeria (SPDC), Mr Adams
Smith, his wife And their three children were involved in a car accident
along Shagamu Express Road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost
their lives. Since then, Global Bank have made several enquiries to your
embassy to locate any of the 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 Mr Adams Smith, before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable
by the bank where this huge deposits were lodged. Particularly, the Bank
where the deceased had an account valued at about $45.5 Million Dollars
has issued a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated
within the next ten official working days.
Since bank have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 3 years
now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased
since you are from the same country and bear the same last name ,so that
the proceeds of this account valued at $45.5 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, I
have the Certificate of deposit that can be used to back up any claim we
may make. All I require is your honest co-operation 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 the law.Please get in touch with me
by my email to enable us discuss further.
Thank you
My Regards,
Paul Useni
