Dear Battelle
I am Barrister abraham Atiku, the attorney to Mr Roland Battelle, a national
of your country, who used to work with shell Development Company in Nigeria.
Here in after shall be referred to as my client. On the 6th of Nov 2001,
my client, his wife and their three Children were involved in a car accident
along Sagbama 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 track his last name over the Internet, to locate any member
of his family hence I contacted you. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating
the money and property left behind by my client before they get confiscated
or declared unserviceable by the bank here. These huge deposits were lodged
Particularly,with the "AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK GROUP" where the deceased
had an account valued at about $10.5million dollars.The bank has issued
me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2 years
now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased
since you have the same last name so that the proceeds of this account valued
at $10.5million dollars can be paid to you and then you and me can share
the money.60% to me and 40% to you I will procure all necessary Legal documents
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 the law.
Contact me via my private email {abraham_atikuesq@yahoo.com) to enable us
discuss further
Best Regards,
Barrister abraham Atiku.
