Hello Dear,
I am Barrister James Okpara (ESQ). I am the Personal Attorney to Mr Robert
Smith, a national of your country,who used to work with Chevron Petroleum
Development Company in Nigeria(CPDC).On the 21st of April 2001,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 clients extended relatives, this has also proved
unsuccessful.
After these several 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 contacted you to assist in repartrating the money and
property 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
$35 million U.S dollars(Thirty five Million 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 1 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
$35 million U.S dollars can be paid to you and then you and me can share the
money. 55% to me and 40% 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
cooperation 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
my email to enable us discuss further.
Please you can get back to me via this email:(barrister_jokpara1@yahoo.com)
Yours Faithfully,
Barrister James Okpara (ESQ)
