It is obvious that this proposal will come to you as a suprise. This is because
we have not met before but i am inspired to sending you this email by the
huge fund transfer opportunity that will be of mutual benefit to the two
of us.
However, I am Chiyemugo Jude,the personal Attorney tothe late Engr.Steve
Moore a national of Isle of Man inUK, who used to work with Shell Petroleum
Development Company(SPDC) in Nigeria. On the 21st of April 1996, my client,his
wife And their three children were involved in a car accident along Sagamu/Lagos
Express Road.
Unfortunately they all lost their lives in the event of the accident, Since
then I have made several enquiries to several Embassies to locate any of
my clients extended relatives,this has also proved unsuccessful.After these
several unsuccessful attempts,I decided to trace his relatives over the Internet
to locate any member of his family but of no avail, hence I contacted you.
I contacted you to assist in repartrating the money and property left behind
by my client,I can easily convince the bank with my legal practice that you
are the only surviving relation of my client. Otherwise the Estate he left
behind will be confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this
huge deposits were lodged.
Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an account valued at about
$27million U.S dollars(twenty seven million U.S.Americadollars). Conseqently,The
bank issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated
within the next ten official working days.
since i have been unsuccesfull in locating the the relatives for over several
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 $27million U.Sdollars can be
paid to your account and then you and me can share the money. 55%to me and
40% to you,while 5% should be for expenses or tax as your government may
require.
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 use this
deal 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 usdiscuss further.
Yours Faithfully,
Barrister Chiyemugo Jude (Esq)
