Subject: CAN I TRUST YOU?
AKINYEMI CHAMBERS Private / Highly Confidential Subject Matter: Invitation
to Act as Next-of-Kin I write this letter in confidence, believing that it
will reach you in high spirit and I believe you will maintain the level of
confidence and trust that matters in a transaction of this nature. Though,
I know that this proposal may make you apprehensive and worried, but I assure
you that all will be well at the end. Before proceeding, I wish to introduce
myself.
I am Mr Maxwell Akinyemi,personal attorney to late mr John Merwin. I would
appreciate your assistance.
The Proposal: A Citizen citizen of your country, Late mr John Merwin, a
Petrochemical Engineer with ElemePetro-Chemical Co. Rivers State. Until his
death On the 21st of August 2003 in a car accident along Oshodi Express Way
by Ikeja Airport. operated a domiciliary account with Eco bank plc and had
a closing balance as at the end of September 20003 amounting to $6 million
( six million United States Dollars Only)since his death,the bank now expects
a next of kin as beneficiary . The Bank now wants to use the funds to sponsor
wars in waring African countries It is because of the perceived possibility
of not being able to locate any of Late Mr john merwin next of kin, since
he was never married until the accident,
that i am contacting you.I have succeeded in putting everything together
and the bank has finally come to agree with me that he has a next of kin/beneficiary
who does not bear his name. If you agree to stand as his next of kin,i can
arrange all the necessary document and proves that you the rightful beneficiary
to the funds. Consequently, the chairman and the board of Directors are planning
to declare the fund "Unclaimed" and transfer it to special trust fund for
purchase of arms and ammunition for ECOMOG soldiers in sierra Leone and Liberia
zones in the East Africa sub-regions. In other to avert this negative development,
I now seek your permission to present you as the next-of -kin to the estate
of late mr robert ,so that the $6 million will be released and paid into
you (us) as the next of kin.
I have secured from the Nigerian High Court an order of mandamus to locate
any of the deceased beneficiary. I am assuring you that this transaction
is risk free. Once the fund is moved to your nominated account, you will
be entitle to 40%. while the restwill be for me . If you are interested i
would like you to give me the following information
