Subject: Attn; Kramer Cliam As Next Of Kin
From The Desk Of:
Barrister Adams Momoh,
146, Etim Karimu Crescent,
Victoria Island,Lagos.Nigeria.
Dear Kramer,
Compliment of the season, please accept my unsoilicited mail to you. Firstly let me introduce myself to you. I am Barrister Adams Momoh a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney to Mr.Gideon Kramer, a native of your country, who is based and work with the LNG (liquified Natural Gas) company here in Nigeria. On the 15th of August 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 alot information to 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 his last name over the Internet, to locate any member of his family. 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$9.5million 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 the relatives for over 3 years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you have the same surname or last name so that the proceeds of this account valued at USD$9.5 million dollars can be paid to you and then you and me can share the money. I am willing to compensate you with 35% of the total funds while 60% will be for me to invest in your country while 5% will be for any expenses incur between both parties during the process of transaction. I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make. 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 the law or interpol. Please get back to me in my private email box (a_m_chambers@yahoo.co.uk ) and send to me your telephone and fax numbers to enable our further discussion about this transaction.
Thanks and God bless you.
Best regards,
Barrister Adams Momoh(ESQ)
