Dear friend,
Good day!
With warm heart I offer my friendship, and greetings, and i hope this mail
meets you in good time. however strange or surprising this contact
might seem to you, as we have not met personally or had any dealings in
the past, i humbly ask that you take due consideration of its importance
and immense benefit.
I am sorry if this letter comes to you as an embarrassment but be rest Assured
that your particulars of contact was given to me after a due Search, that
you will be able to handle this benefit in faith of understanding and Confidentially.
I am Thompson Frank, a Solicitor. I am the Personal Attorney to
(Mr.Robert Norton) who used to work with Agip Oil Company in Nigeria. On
the 21st of April, 2003, Mr/Mrs.Robert Norton and their three children were
involved in a car accident along Lagos Express Road.
Unfortunately, they all lost their lives in the event of the accident.
Since then I have made several enquiries to your Embassy to locate any of
my client?s 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 to no avail, hence, Icontacted
you to assist in repatriating the money left behind by my client in (Union
Bank Of Nigeria Plc)
Particularly, the deceased deposited the US$5 Million (Fiven
Million United States Dollars only)In the BANK.
Consequently, this BANK issued me a notice to provide the Next
of Kin to claim the US$5 Million (Fiven Million United States Dollars only)
in their custody within the next ten official working days.
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
to claim the fund as the Next of Kin to him so that the fund will be transferred
to your account by the BANK.
Upon receipt of the fund, I will come over to your country to meet with
you for the disbursement of the fund and then you and I will share the money
in this order: 65% will be for me, 35% will be for you. I have all the necessary
legal documents that can back our claim we may make with the BANK.
As you may like to know Mr./Mrs Robert Norton was a retiree from Lubec in
U.S All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us seeing this deal
through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law.
I look forward to hear from you .
