Dear Friend,
Compliment of the season,please accept my unsoilicited mail to
you.firstly,let me introduce myself to you.I am Barrister Phillip Mohamel
A
solicitor at law. I am the personal Attorney to Mr. Mattew B. Stone, a native
of your country, who is based and work with the LNG (liquified Natural
Gas) company here in Nigeria.
On the 2nd of March 2002, my client, his wife And their two children
were involved in a car accident along Sango Otta,Abeokuta expressway. All
occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost there lives. Since then, I
have requested for a lot of information from your embassy to locate any
of my clients extended relatives this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts,I decided to search for a
business partner/assistance who can assist in retreiving the funds.
Henceforth, I contacted you to assist me in repatriating the money and
property left behind by my late client before they get confiscated or
declared unserviceable by the bank where the fund was deposited.
Apparently, the finance institute where the deceased had an account
valued at about USD$10,500,000,00 million dollars has issued me a notice
to provide the next of kin or have the account confisicated within the
next ten official working days.
Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over
3years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the
deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at USD$10,500,000,00
million dollars can be paid to you and then you and I can share the
money.I am willing to compensate you with 40% of the total funds while 50%
will be for me to invest in your country while 10% will be for any
expenses that may be incured between both parties during the process of
transaction.
I have all necessary legal documents to back up any claim we may make.
I am honorably seeking for your assistance as follows:
(1)I WANT YOU TO ACT AS A BENEFICIARY OF THE FUNDS
(2)I WANT YOU TO PROVIDE WHERE THIS MONEY WILL BE TRANSFERRED.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us achieve our
goal. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of law.So if you are interested,
kindly reply this email with the below information:
(1)YOUR FULL NAME/ADDRESS
(2)YOUR PHONE NUMBER
(3)YOUR FAX NUMBER/MOBILE NUMBER
(4)YOUR OCCUPATION & AGE
to enable our further discussion about this
transaction.
At this point in time, i will like you to handle this transaction with
high degree of confidentiality and utmost transparent honesty as it is
highly required for security reasons.
Thanks and God bless you.
Best regards,
Barrister Phillip Mohamed.
