Dear Sir/ma
I am Barrister Robert Peters, the Personal Attorney to Mr Larry kamat, A
foreigner who used to work with Mekon Associates company in Nigeria On the
2nd of July 2001, my client, his wife And their three children were involved
in a car accident along Port Hacourt Express Road.All occupants of the
vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have made several
enquiries to many 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 vail,hence I
contacted you. I have contacted you to assist me in repartrating the money
left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared
unserviceable by the finance house where this huge deposits were lodged.
Particularly, the finance house where the deceased had an account valued at
about 17.5million dollars has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin
or have the account confisicated within the next ten official working days.
since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over 4years 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 $17.5million dollars can be paid
to you.The sharing ratio will be 55% for me and 40% for you while 5% goes
for expences if any .I have all necessary legal documents that can be used
to back up any claim we may make.
However,if you are interested for this project, you are advise to send
thebelow information to me,to enable me forward your name to the Finance
house as the next of kin to my late client.
{1}. YOUR FULL NAME.
{2}. YOUR CONTACT ADDRESS.
{3}. YOUR TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBER.
{4}. YOUR AGE & OCCUPATION.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction
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
