I am Barrister Adams Balogun I am an attorney to a deceased Immigrant,
who was a business man/contractor in my country with the Crude Oil sector
of the government. Here-in-after shall be referred to as my client.On
the 30th of March 2002, my client, his wife and their three Children
died in the Kenyan Airways plane crash from U.A.E. Since then I have been
managing his properties, and a contract, which he executed for the
Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), Which I monitored the payment as
his attorney.
Now the money for the contract has been deposited in a bank which I
would want you to assist in repatriating before it gets confiscated by the
government, Particularly,the bank has issued me a notice to provide the
next of kin or have the account confiscated within a short period of
time.The deceased has an account Valued at $20.5 million dollars (USD).
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 7
months, 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 $20.5 million
dollars can be paid to you and then you, I and his account officer would
share the money. 55% to me and the accountant, 40% for you, 5% for
miscellaneous expenses that might arise. I have all necessary information
that can be used to back up any Claim we may make.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us to 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 my E-mail address with your full names and
address,personal telephone and fax numbers to enable us discuss further
about this
transaction.
N.B. P:S. your response should be directed to {balogun_esq@yahoo.com } for
