Subject: CLAIM AS NEXT OF KIN
From: Barrister Charles Gali
Email:charles_gali111@yahoo.comDear Ver,
Before I start, I must first apologize for this unsolicited mail to you. I am aware that this is certainly an unconventional approach to establishing a relationship, but you will realize the reason for my action after going through this email. I am Barrister Charles Gali, a solicitor at law.I am the personal attorney to Mr. James Ver,a national of your country, who until his death was an employee with Nigol Oil Exploration Company in Nigeria. Here in after shall be referred to as my client.
On the 21st of April 2000, my client was involved in a car accident along Broad express-road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have made several enquiries 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 so as to locate any nearest relative or 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 the bank here where the huge deposits were lodged. The Constitutional provision of the Federal Republic of Nigeria further mandates the deceased attorney to repatriate the fund if original country of deceased is extablished. Particularly, Financial Institution where the deceased deposited the fund valued US$13Million has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next 21 official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 4 years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you have the same last name, so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$13 Million can be paid to you and then you can disburse as follows: (1) 40% to you. (2) 30% to Me (3) 30% to your of choice Charity and humanitarian organizations in your country. I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may to stand make.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing this project through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law. Please when responding to this email, I require that you direct a copy of your response also to my home email address as follows: charles_gali111@yahoo.com
Best regards,
Barrister Charles Gali.
