Subject: next of kin
ATTN:Friend
With a humble mind, i decided to write this letter to you,having in mind that you will assit me
in this understated business.Firstly,i must seek your utmost confidentiality as at its nature
being top secret.
I am Barrister Harry Oba Maxwell(s.a.n),i am solicitor to late Eng.Rowland Hanks,a nationale
of your country who was working as a contractor(property developer)with Shell Petroluem
Development company(SPDC)since 1981 and i am his solicitor.
PLEASE PAY ATTENTION:In Jenuary 2001,Mr Frank Nwadi who is late Eng.Rowland Hanks`s account officer contacted me that late Eng.Rowland`s is running a stagnant account of twenty two million u.s dollars(US$22million)without withdrawing or depositing money with their bank,
TRADE BANK PLC,that i should contact him and fine out why he is running a stagnant account with there bank.
Without delay,i sent one of my staff to Porth-harcourt,the Nigerian oil heart city where Eng Rowland was working as a contractor for through investigation about late Eng Rowland
Unfortunately,after the investigation,he came back telling me that late Eng.Rowland and his family was involved in a fatal accident with his new B.M.W jeep registration number PH78456832NG which claimed their lives.
After the whole investigation,i notified his bank that late Eng Rowland is dead with his family
in an auto crash accident.After some months,his bank filed a letter to me as late Eng Rowland
lawyer telling me that late Eng Rowland used his late wife as his next of kin/beneficiary when
opening the said account with their bank and now his wife and his little girl kid are dead,that i should contact late Eng Rowland`s relatives and forward to them as the next of kin/beneficiary
for late Eng Rowland to eneble them pay or release this fund of (US$22millon)of late Eng Rowland.
Since 2001,i have been trying a lot to locate or fine late Eng.Rowland`s relative or next of kin to
be forwarded to the bank,but all the effort i have made comes out abortively.I have also contacted his country Embassey,they have tried without success and filed a letter back to me that if i did not fine any relative or next of kin to late Eng Rowland,that i should order the bank to share the money as unclaimed fund to Charity homes,Aids organizations,Red Cross and some other N.G.O`s in Africa.
As i have put a great effort to make sure i fined late Eng.Rowland`s next of kin/beneficiary and yet it has not been succesful.Now i have resolved withing myself to seek a honest and well
meaning citizen of(his country) your country to acts/claim as late Eng.Rowland`s beneficiary/next of kin to claim this (US$22million)fund to avoid the bank to share this money as unclaimed fund,that is why i decided to contact you first before any other person.
As late Eng.Rowland`s lawyer,i am with all the legal and necessary document to eneble you
claim this money and also legal document to back you up. PLEASE NOTE WELL:This document will be forwarded/release to you if you
agree on the therm of this deal,that is to part with 40% as your own share and60% as mine and
that immediately this fund is fund is remmited into your account that you will be sending to me the 60% withuot delay.please if the condition is acceptible to you for this business,please reply
immediately and PLEASE NOTE WELL that a very high trust and confidentiality is needed from you as this business is 100% free risk.
