Dear Dick
I came to know you through my search for a
reliable,transparent and trustworthy person or
partner to assist me execute a vital private and
confidential business transaction as stated below,
therefore I am very glad I have found you.
I am Mr. BASSEY UDOR, the personal accountant to
Mr.Morie Dick, a foreigner,who used to work with
Shell Development Company in Nigeria.On the 21st of
April 2000, Mr. Morie, his wife and their two
Children were involved in a motor accident along
shagamu road in Ogun State. Unfortunately Mr. Morie
and his entire family all lost their lives.
Since then I have made several enquiries to locate
any of Morie's 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 Mr. Morie before
they get confiscated, frozen or declared unserviceable
by the bank where these huge deposits were lodged.
Particularly, the Trade Bank plc, Lagos where the
deceased had an account valued at about Seventeen
Million United States Dollars (US$17,000,000:00).
I hope you understand exactly what I am saying.
The management has issued me a notice to provide the
next of kin or have the account frozen and I know
that they will surely not rest until they finally
froze his deposit.I have been unsuccessful in
locating the relatives for over 2 years now and this
is not good.
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
$17,000,000:00 can be paid to you and then you and
me can share the money. 70% to me and 30% to you.
I have all the necessary legal documents that can be
used to back up any claim we may make in your
favour.This I must achieve to make sure that this
fund is not wasted or end up in the wrong hands I
hope you understand me very well. 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, this I promise.
Please specify your telephone and fax numbers both
office and at home to enable me contact you on phone
for a heart to heart discussions through the private
email stated above: bassey_udor@ny.com
Awaiting your urgent response.
Mr. BASSEY UDOR.
