DEAR FRIEND,
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 Barrister.A. obinna. (ESQ),the personal Attorney to the late
Engr.Steve Moore a national of Isle of Man in UK, 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.S dollars can be paid to your account and then you and me can
share the money. 65%to me and 30% 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 over my private email: barri_obina@myway.com
To enable us discuss further.
1)Your full name
2) Your contact Address
