Good Day,
I am Barrister Armed Sani (Esq), the Personal Attorney to a Foreign
Contractor,who worked with a Multinational Oil Firm in Nigeria. On the
11th of September 2001, my client, an American National, late Engineer
A.Goins,an oil Merchant / Contractor with the Federal Government of
Nigeria,until his death four years ago in a ghastly terrorist attack to
American
Airlines Flight 11, from Boston, assachusetts,to Los Angeles,
California,crashed
into the North Tower of the World Trade Centre with 86 people on board. All
occupants of the Aeroplane unfortunately lost their lives.
Since then I have made several inquiries 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 have contacted you to assist me in
repatriating the money 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 US$26.5Million has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin,
so that the fund left will be transferred or have the account confiscated
within the next twenty official working days. Since I have been
unsuccessful in locating the the relatives for over 3
years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the
deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$26.5Million
can be paid to you and then you and I can share this money. 65% to me and
30% to you,while 5% should be for expenses or tax as your Government may
require. All I require is your honest and co-operation 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.
I will want you to send to me on your return email the following
information for the transfer in your favour.
1, Your full names
2, Your contact address
3, Your private phone and fax numbers where we will be communicating to
each
other.
4, Your age
I await your kind response, Good day and God bless you.
Best Regards,
Barrister Armed Sani(Esq)
