Dear Friend,
I am Barrister Allen Bill, a Solicitor. I am the Personal Attorney to
Mr. Steve Mcdonalds who used to work with Chevron Oil Development
Company in Nigeria.
On the 21st of April 2003, his wife and their three children were
involved in a car accident along Abuja Express Road.Unfortunately,
they all lost their lives in the event of the accident.
Since then I have made several enquiries to your Embassy to locate
any of my clients 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 to assist in repatriating the money
left behind by my client in a Security Company.
Particularly, the Security Company where the deceased deposited the
US$30 Million (Tharty Million United States Dollars only).
Consequently, this Security Company issued me a notice to provide the
Next of Kin to claim the US$30 Million (Tharty Million United States
Dollars only) in their custody 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 next of kin of
the deceased to claim the fund as the Next of Kin to him so that the
Security Company will transfer the fund to youraccount.
Upon receipt of the fund, I will come over to your country to meet
with you for the disbursement of the fund and then you and I will
share the money in this order: 55% will be for me, 40% will be for
you, while 5% will be used on expenses incurred.
I have all the necessary legal documents that can back our claim we
may make with the Security Company.
All I require is your honest co-operation 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 by my secured and confidential email
address at:(allen_bill01@yahoo.it) to
enable me clarify you further.
Best regards.
Barrister Allen Bill
