Subject: URGENT RESPONSE.
Dear CADEE G.C,
I am barrister Kalu Uduma a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney to
Mr Martin CADEE , a national of your country, who used to work with
Chevron Nigeria Ltd and as well a one time secret agent in transfering of
money overseas for the Late head of state of Nigeria {Late Gen. Sani
Abacha}.
Before his death On the 21st of April 2001 {my client,his wife and their
three children were involved in a car accident along Badagry Express Road in
which all occupants of the motor died}. My client deposited the sum of $36
Million in a Financial insitution company here in Nigeria for himself, with
the hope of transferring it to his country as soon as he is on leave.
Since his death 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 last name over
the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you since
you are bearing the same last name with my late client.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 Financial insitution company where the deceased had an
account valued at about 36 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 2 years
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 36 million dollars can be
paid to you and then you and me can share the money. 60% to me and 40% to
you.
I have all necessary 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 that
this dealt through.I guarantee that this will be executed under alegitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the Law.Please get in
touch with me by my email to enable us discuss further.
Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as
arranged,you must apply first to the bank as relation or next of kin of the
deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your private
telephone and fax number for easier and effective communication and location
where the money will be remitted .Upon receipt of your reply,I will send to
you by fax or email the text of the application.
Thanks and God bless you, await your response.
Best regards,
Barrister Kalu uduma.
