Dear Sir/Ma,
I know this proposal certainly will come as a surprise.since you neither
know me nor have seen me before. Well as you read on, you will know how I
got your name and why I decided to contact you at all. I am BOLA JOHNSON
a solicitor at law. I am the personal Attorney to Mr Micheal ,a national
of your country, who was a private business man in Nigeria. On the 21st of
April 2002, my client, his wife And child were involved in a ghastly automobile
accident along kaduna/kano express road and all occupants of the vehicle
unfortunately lost therelives.
Since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of my clients extended
relatives this has also proved unsuccessful. After these unsuccessful attempts.
I decided to track his last name over the Internet,possibly to locate any
member of his family.Hence my contacting you. I have contacted you to assist
in repatriating the money and property left behind by my client, before the
deposited fund get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where
this huge deposits were lodged.
The deceased has a Deposit certificate valued at about USD12.2million dollars,
which was in my custody, and the Bank has issued me a notice as the deceased
private attorney provide the next-of-kin or have the account confiscated
within the next thirty official working days.
I have been unsuccesful in tracing my late client's relatives for over 3
years.I now seek your consent to present you as the next-of-kin of the deceased;
since you have the same surname.so that the proceeds of this account valued
at 12.2million dollars can be paid to you. After which both of us will proceed
to share the proceed on a 60/40 bases.
Be assured that this transaction is 100% risk free and that all the necessary
papers to back up the claim would be arranged upon your affirmation. All
I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through.
I guarantee that this whole transaction will be done legally and that no
local or international law will be abrogated. Please get in touch with me
