Hello,
I am Barrister Dennis Mills, a solicitor at law and the personal attorney
to late Mr. Yuri Cantus, a national of your country who used to work with
an oil and gas Company in Nigeria as their financial controller, herein
shall be referred to as my client. On the 21st of April 2001, my client,
his wife and their two children were involved in a car accident along Sagbama
express road , Port-Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. All occupants of the
vehicle unfortunately lost there lives. Since then I have made several inquiries
to your embassy to locate any of my client's extended relatives; this has
also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to contact you as a
fellow national to my late client to help me locate any member of his family
there in your country, hence I contacted you. I have contacted you to assist
in repartrating the money and property left behind by my client before they
get confisicated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge
deposits were lodged. Particularly, the bank where the deceased had an account
valued at US$14.2 Million (fourteen million two hundred thousand United
States dollars) 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 almost 3 years
now, I seek your consent to present you to the bank as the next-of-kin to
my late client since I have the maximum chance to do it so that the proceeds
of this account valued at US$14.2 Million can be paid to you and then you
and me can share the money 60% to me and 40% to you. I have all the neccessary
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 transaction through.
I guarantee you that this transaction will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you and me from any breach of the law . Please
contact me as soon as possible through the above e-mail address or telephone
, enclosing also your telephone/fax numbers for enhanced correspondence.
Best regards,
Barrister Dennis Mills.
