Hello,
I am Barrister Frankllin David,the attorney at law to Mr Mark, a nationale
of your country, who used to work with Emron Electrical Company in Nigeria.
here in after shall be referred to as my client. On the 21st of April
2001,my client, his wife and their Only Son were involved in a car accident
along Ibadan express-road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost
their lives.Since then 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 track his last
name over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted
you.I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property
left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared
unserviceable by the bank here. These huge deposits were lodged
Particularly,with the "City Express Bank Plc" where the deceased had an
account valued at about $9.5million dollars.The bank has issued me a notice
to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated. Since I have
been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2 years now I seek your
consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you have the
same last name so that the proceeds of this account valued at $9.5million
dollars can be paid to you and then you and i can share the money evenly and
then part will go to the dream of Mark which has been developing a social
home for the less previlage. I will procure all necessary legal documents
that can be used to back up for any claim we may make.
What i need from you is to send me in your next mail,
1) YOUR FULL NAME
2) YOUR ADDRESS
3) YOUR AGE AND OCCUPATION
4) YOUR TELEPHONE NUMBERS WHERE I CAN REACH YOU AT ALL TIME
Please,make sure that all the information that you will be forwarding
to me are very correct because that will be what i will use to get all the
legal documents in your name for the transfer of fund to your account All I
require is your honest co-operation 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. Do feel free to ask questions
in what you do not understand in this letter in
your next mail as i wait positively to your response.Note Please that even
if you are not directly related to Mark,i am going to prepare leagl
documents to back it up in your name at the bank.
I remain ,
Barrister Franklin David Esq
