Subject: Very Urgent
Dear Sir,
I am Barrister. Huynh Thanhdat, a solicitor at law. I am the personal
attorney to ENGINEER MARK RAMON a national of your country who was a
consultant with the Nigerian Liquefied natural gas company, here in
Nigeria who was referred to as my client. On the 16th of August 2002 my
client, his wife and their three children were involved in a car
accident along Shagamuexpress road.
All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then
I have made several enquiries to his country's embassy to locate any of
my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After
these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his last name
over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted
you.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property
left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared
unserviceable by African Development Bank where a huge deposit of
$6,800,000 were lodged. Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had
the deposits of $6.8m has issued me a notice to provide the proposed
inheritor or have the funds confiscated within the next ten official
working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2
years now I seek your consent to present you as the heir of the
deceased since you have the same last name so that the proceeds of this
claims valued at $6.8 million united states dollars can be paid to you
and then you and me can share the money 60% to me, 35% to you and 5%
for any expenses.
I have made all necessary legal arrangements that can be used to back
up any claim we may make. All I require is your honest cooperation to
enable us seeing 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 ON YOUR REPLYING, DO SEND TO ME YOUR FULL NAMES AND ADDRESS,
YOUR PRIVATE TEL/MOBILE/FAX NUMBERS INCLUDING YOUR COUNTRY AND CITY
CODE PLEASE REPLY ME THROUGH MY PRIVATE EMAIL ADDRESS.
Best Regards,
Barr. Huynh Thanhdat. (ESQ).
