Subject: MUTUAL TRUST!!!
Dear Sir,
I am BARRISTER BARRY WILLIAMS,a legal practitioner, I am the personal
attorney to Late Mr Marvin Jones, a national of your country, who used to
work as an oil merchant/contractor to the government here in Nigeria.On the
27th of January 2002, my client, his wife and their three hildren were
involved in Ikeja bomb blast here in my country.
My client and his family unfortunately lost there 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 and do some research in the internet, to locate any
member of his family, Hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist me in repatriating the money and property
left behind by my late client before they get confiscated or declared
unserviceable by the Security Company where these huge deposits were
lodged.Particularly,the Security Company where my
client deposited US$12 million dollars.
The Security Company has 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 unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 3 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 US$15.5million dollars can be
transferred to your account there in
your country,then you and me can share the money. I will secure the
necessary legal documents that will back up the claim we may make. All I
require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal through. I
guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will
protect you from any breach of the law.Please indicate your readiness to
assist me,so that all the informations about this funds will be passed to
you immediately.You should send to me your full names and your private
telephone numbers for easy communications.And also assure me of your trust
and remember that the trust in business is confidentiality.
So let it be only between me and you.If you give me your full coperation and
this transaction is properly executed,I am prepared to give you 30% of the
total sum for your kind assistance.60% will be for me and 10% percent will
be for any expences we may incure along in this transaction.Please get in
touch with me by my private email:
