ATTN: SIR,
I am barrister Jeremy Piah a Solicitor. I am the
Personal Attorney to Terry Douglas a national of your
country, who used to work with shell development
company in Nigeria. On the 30th of june 2003,my client
had an accident.Unfortunately,he lost his life.
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 contacted you to assist in repaitrating the money
and property left behind by my client before they get
confiscated or declared lodged,unserviceable by the
bank where this huge deposits were deposited, the
Bank where the deceased had an account valued at
about$19.5 million dollars.
Conseqently,The bank issued me a notice to provide the
next of kin or have the account confiscated within the
next 21 official working days. since i have been
unsuccesfull in locating the the relatives for over
2years now I seek your consent to present you as the
next of kin of the deceased since you are from the
same country so that the proceeds of this account
valued at $19.5 million dollars can be paid to you and
then you and me can share the money 60% to me and 35%
to you,while 5% should be for expenses or tax as your
government may require.
I have all legal documents, to back up any claim we
may make. All I require is your honest co-operation to
enable us see this transaction through.Reach through
this email address(jeremypiah@yahoo.com)
Regards,
Barrister Jeremy Piah
