Dear Friend
I am Barrister Steve Nelson, the Personal Attorney to Mr.Edward Tobin, a
National of your country, who was an oil consultant/contractor with the
Nigerian National petroleum corporation(NNPC).
On the 21st of April 2000, my client,his wife and their three children were
involved in a car accident along Sagamu/Lagos Express road,unfortunately
they all lost their lives in the event of the accident, since then I have
made several enquiries to your Embassy to locate any of my client's extended
elatives, this has also proved unsuccessful, after these several
unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives over the Internet to
locate anymember of his family but of no avail, hence I contacted you.
I contacted you to assist in repartrating the money and roperty left behind
by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the
bank where this huge deposits were lodged. Particularly, the Bank where the
deceased had an account valued at about $15 million U.S dollars(Fifteen
million us dollars). Conseqently, the bank 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 unsuccesfull in locating the the relatives
for over 2 years now.
I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since
you are from the same country so that the proceeds of this account valued at
$15 million U.S dollars can be paid to you and then you and me can share the
money, 50% to me and 45% to you,while 5% should be for expenses or tax as
your government may require. I have all necessary legal documents that can
be used to back up any 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 a legitimate
arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law.
Please get in touch with me by email to enable us discuss further.
Yours Faithfully.
Barrister Nelson Steve .
