It is obvious that this proposal will come to you as a
suprise. This is because we have not met before but i
am inspired to sending you this email by the huge fund transfer
opportunity that will be of mutual benefit to the two of us.
However, I am Clement Oga ,the personal Attorney to the
late Engr.Steve Moore is a Mexican National ,
who used to work with Shell Petroleum Development
Company(SPDC) in Nigeria. On the 21st of April 1996,
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 several Embassies to locate any of my
clients extended relatives,this has also proved
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 contacted you to assist in repartrating the money
and property left behind by my client,I can easily
convince the bank with my legal practice that you are
the only surviving relation of my client. Otherwise
the Estate he left behind will be 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 $27million U.S Dollars(twenty
seven million U.S.America 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 several years 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 $27million U.SDollars can be paid to your account
and then you and me can share the money. 60%to me and
30% to you,while 5% should be for expenses or tax as
your government may require. 5%will go to the less previlaged.
I have all necessary legal documents that can be used
to back up any claim we may make. All I require is
