STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL,
Dear Beloved
How are you today? I hope all is well with you and your family.
This mail may be surprise to you because you did not give me permission
to do so and neither do you know me but before i tell you about my self
i want you to please forgive me for sending the mail without your permission.I
am Barrister Christian Anderson, a solicitor at law. Iam the personal attorney
to Late Engineer David Groot,a native of your country,who used to work with
Shell Oil Development Company in Nigeria.Here in after shall be referred
to as my client.On the 21st ofApril 2002,my client,his wife and their three
children were involved in a car accident along sagbama express road. All
occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.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 track his last name
over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted
you. I havecontacted you to assist in repatriating the money and properties
left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable
by the bank where this huge deposit were lodged.Particularly,in the Gulf
bank plc where the deceased has an account valued at about US$17.5 Million
has issued me a mandate to provide the next-of-kin or have the account confiscated
within the 6 weeks.Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives
for over 3years now,I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin
of the deceased to have the same last name so that the proceeds of this
account valued at US$17.5 Million can be paid to you and then you and i
can share the money. 60% to me and 40% to you.I have all necessary legal
documents that can be used to backup any claim we may make.
All I require is your honest cooperation 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 theLaw.Please get in touch with me immediately
if you are interested and trustworthy as I do not have much time in mydisposal.pleasereply
