To your Attention;
Dear Sir/madam,
I am Barrister Idris Ahmed, a Solicitor. I am the Personal Attorney to
Late Engr.Stanley ,a petrol-chemical engineer,who worked as an
expertriate contractor with an oil firm in my country. He died with his
entire family of a wife and only child in a car accident on the
9th november 1996 while travelling from Lagos to Ibadan express road.
Unfortunately they all lost their lives in the event of that inccident which
brought tears to the eyes of the world,Since then I have made several enquiries
to your Embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives,and 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 me in repartriating
the money and properties left behind by my client before they get confiscated
or declared unserviceable by the finance house where this huge deposits were
lodged.Particularly,the finance house where the deceased had an account valued
at about $15.5million U.S dollars(Fifteen million,Five hundred thousand united
states dollars).
Conseqently,the finance house has issued a notice to me to provide the
next of kin or have the account confiscated/declared unserviceable within
the next ten official working days. Since i have been unsuccesfull in locating
the the relatives for over two years now.I seek your consent to present you
as the next of kin of the deceased since you are a foriegner and with foreign
name so that the proceedings of this account valued at $15.5million U.S dollars
can be paid to you 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 to secure 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 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 get in touch with me by my email to enable us discuss further.
PLEASE YOUR TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS,FULL CONTACT ADDRESS IS NEEDED FOR
THIS TRANSACTION.
Yours Faithfully,
Barrister Idris Ahmed
