Attn: SIR/MADAM
I am Barrister Victor Awele a Solicitor and also the Personal Attorney to
Late Mr Edward David, a national of your country, who used to work with hell
development company in Nigeria.
On the 21st of April 1999, my client, his wife and their three children were
involved in a car accident along Sagbama Express Road that claims the lives
of all occupants of the vehicle. It was a very sad news and Since then I
have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients
extended relatives which proves 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 have contacted you on trust to assist me in receiving the
money left behind by my client before the bank he has an account with get
money confisicated or declared his money as unclaimed fund following the
bank policy.
Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an account valued at about 15
dollars has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin of my client or
have the account confisicated 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 bearing or having the same surname with my late
client so that the proceeds of the transfer of this money valued at $15
million dollars can be paid to you as his next of kin for our mutual
benefit.
The sharing percentage is as follow if only you will be faithfull and honest
to assist me, 30% for your assistance as next of kin, 65% to me and remaning
5% should be for expenses or tax as your government may require.All
necessary legal documents that will back up your claim of this money will be
secured by an attorney on your behalf.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through.
I guarantee you that this business 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 steps
to follow and please for confidential reason forward your reply my private
