I hope that this letter will not constitute a sort of
embarrasement to you. Please bear with me let me introduce
myself. I am Barrister Alex Ovia, a private attorney to the
deceased as mentioned herein. Mr
Morris Kessler, a National of your country, who was a
consultant with Shell-development Company in Nigeria and a
personal friend died and left behind his deposit in a finance
house (GLOBAL CITY TRUST SECURITY COMPANY) valued at $12.5Millon
(Twelve Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars
Only).
My relationship with Mr.Morris started in 1997 when I was
working with the security company as a Legal Adviser, Marina
branch. We met in my social club's annual end of the year party
and I introduced him to the said security company where he
deposit most of his treasures some few weeks later,making me the
Legal officer to the account which he operated until his
unfortunate demise.On the 2nd of May 1999, Mr.Morris, his wife
and their two children were involved in a car accident. All
occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.
Since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of
Mr.Morris extended relatives this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track
someone over the internet who will claim as a distant relative
to Morris hence I contacted you .
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for
over 3 years now I seek your consent to present you as the next
of kin to the deceased so that the proceeds of this account
valued at US$12.500,000 (Twelve Million Five Hundred Thousand
United States Dollars Only) can be
paid to you and then you and I can share the money.70% to me and
30% to you.The request of a foreigner as next of kin in this
business is occasioned by the fact that My client was a
foreigner and a Nigerian cannot stand as a next of kin to a
foreigner.
I am ready to re-negotiate the mode of sharing with
you.Thereafter I will visit your country for the
disbursement/investing of my share according to the percentages
we agreed upon.If you find this proposal
suitable for you do get back to me with the following
informations Your full Name and Contact Address,Your private
telephone Number Your Age Your Occupation and Position.
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
the law. Please Forward your reply to my private email :
ovialegal@yahoo.com
Hoping to receive a positive response from you.
Best regards,
Barrister Alex Ovia
