Dear Friend,
I am Barrister Paul Useni, a Solicitor and the Personal Attorney to Mr.Tin
Thomas, a national of United State Of America, who used to work with shell
Petroleum Development Company in Nigeria. On the 2nd of May 2002, my client,
his wife and their three children were involved in a car accident here in
nigeria. All occupants lost their lives including our sport minister.
Since then, I have made several enquiries to their embassy to help 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 to no avail, hence
I contacted you. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money
that belong to my late client before they get confiscated or declared as
unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposit were lodged.
Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an account valued at about
$45.5 Million Dollars, has 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 unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 4 years
now. Therefore, I have decided to seek your consent to present you as the
"Next of Kin" so that the proceeds of this account valued at $45.5 Million
Dollars, can be paid to you and then you and me can share the money. 55% for
me and 40% will be for you, while 5% will be mapped out for any expenses
during the process or Tax as your Government may require, I have the
Certificate of deposit, and the death certificate 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 get in touch with me
strictly via this email: to enable us discuss further or you can as well
reach me on my telephone number 0112348034300019.
Best regards,
Barr Paul Useni.
