Dear Friend
I am Barrister NGOBILI CHUKWUEMEKA , the Personal Attorney to a Foreign
Contractor, who worked with a Multinational Oil Firm in Nigeria. On
the 11th of September 2001, my client, a Mexican National, late
Engineer Carlos Alberto Montoya, an oil Merchant / Contractor with the
federal government of Nigeria, until his death Three years ago in a
ghastly terrorist attack to American airlines flight 11, from Boston,
Massachusetts, to Los Angeles, California, crashed into the North
Tower of the World Trade Centre with 92 people on board. All occupants
of the Aero plane unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have
made several inquiries to your Embassy 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 these huge
deposits were lodged. Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an
account valued at about US$9 million dollars has issued me a notice to
provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the
next
twenty official working days. Since I have been unsuccessful in
locating 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 $9
million
dollars can be paid to you and then you and I can share this money. 60%
to
me and 30% to you, while 10% 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 via email as soon as you get this
mail to enable us discuss
on the modalities and process for success of this transaction. I also
request
for your private telephone number, fax number for easy and more
confidential
communication.
I await your kind response, Good day and God bless. Regards,
Barrister NGOBILI CHUKWUEMEKA Esq,
Principal Partner,
