From:Barr.Usman Williams
Dear Sir/Madam.
I am a Barrister with a finance firm here in Nigeria.
My name is Barr.Usman Williams a personal attorney to an Engineer who is
a foriegner from your country, who till his death was a Contractor with
Impressario Nigeria Limited/Moenier Oil & Gas Consult and Nigerian
Ports authority. Here in after shall be referred to as my client.
On the 21st of April 2002,my Client,his wife and their three children were
involved in a ghastly car accident Along maryland/Lagos Express Road. Unfortunately
for him and his three kids,they lost their lives immediately in the event
of the accident, while the wife was taken to the hospital where she died
three days later. Their bodies were kept in the mortuary for five months
in order to carry out proper investigation by the Authority on how to locate
their surviving relatives.They have all checked all available public files
and embassies,but all their efforts had proved abortive.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, no one has been coming for his
account which he deposited with our bank.(REALON BANK PLC) And due to the
banking law and regulation of 1985 sub section 18d page 103 chapter 11 of
the constitution governing all banking policy in Nigeria, and in accordance
with the banking decree 003 subsection 45 which stated that any deposited
fund which remain's unclaim after the existing period of two years will
be confiscated by the national treasury department as unclaimed fund.
And this has brought too much agitation in our bank between boards of directors
on how to declare this account unserviceable due to the fact that the deceased
has no next of kin.
After the meeting held by the Executives of the Bank with me the personal
attorney to late the Engineer,they have all mandated me to contact the next
of kin to my late client.Conseqently,I have contacted you to assist in repatriating
the money and property left behind by my client before they Get confiscated
or declare unserviceable by the Bank where the deceased had an account Valued
at about ($15 million US dollars).
The bank has Issued out a notice to provide the next of kin or have the
account confiscated. Since no one has been able to locate their relatives
for over 2 years now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of
kin of the deceased so that this account valued at ($15Million U S Dollars)
can be paid to you and then you and I Can share the money.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legal arrangement that will
protect you from any breach of the law.
Please, if you are willing to transact this business with me, kindly get
back to me as soon as you received this email, in your return mail, private
contact telephone number, fax number full name and address and your designated
bank coordinates to enable us file letter of claim to the appropriate departments
for necessary approvals before the transfer. And reply through my private
/ alternative email address usmanwilliams77@yahoo.co.uk ) or via my telephone
Number (234 1 4740898) Looking forward to your response.

BARRISTER.Usman Williams,
