Dear friend
Greetings with good faith. I am Barrister Ade Sanni, a solicitor at
law. I
am the personal attorney to Mr.Mack a national of your country, who
used to
work with Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) in Nigeria. Here
in
after shall be referred to as my client.
On the 27th of January 2002, my client, his wife and their three
children
were involved in Ikeja bomb blast here in my country. My client and his
family unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have made several
enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended
relatives but
all to no avail. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided
to
track his last name over the Internet, to locate any member of his
family
which i could not, hence I contacted you,to act as my late client next
of
kin
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property
left
behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared
unserviceable by
the bank where these huge deposits were lodged. Particularly, the
finance
company where the deceased had an account valued at about USD$15.950,
000
million dollars has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or
have
the account confiscated within the next few weeks.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over two
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 USD15.950,000 million dollars can be paid to you and then you
and
me can share the money in the following ratio: 60% to me and 35% to
you, and
also 5% for any expenses that may be incurred during the process of
this
transaction, like telephone bills. I have all necessary legal documents
that
can be used to back up any claim we may make.
To be honest with you, I have worked out the modalities of this
transaction.
All I require is your sincere cooperation to enable us seeing 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 if you are interested to work with me with good faith and
honesty,
get in touch with me via my email. Also, send to me your telephone and
fax
numbers to enable us discuss further on this transaction, and also your
banking details and address where this fund will be released into. I
would
prefer a virgin account for this transfer.
I hope to hear from you regards the successful conclusion of this great
transaction. God bless you.
PLEASE VIEW THESE WEBSITES BELOW TO CONFIRM WHAT I AM TELLING YOU.
