Dear Henk,
I am Mr fola azeez, I work with the office of the Director,Foreign Operation
Department of Standard Investment Trust Bank PLC, Lagos Branch. It happend
On the 2nd of May 2001, Mr Mark Henk, a national of your country who used to
work with Shell Petroleum Development Company In Nigeria (SPDC).
Mr Mark Henk, his wife And their three children were involved in a ghastly
car accident along Shagamu Express Road. All occupants of the vehicle
unfortunately lost their lives. Since then, Standard Investment Trust Bank
have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of the 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 avail, hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist in repartrating the money that belong to Mr
Mark Henk, before they get confisicated or declared unserviceable by the
bank where this huge deposits were lodged. Particularly, the Bank where the
deceased had an account valued at about $18.2 Million Dollars has issued a
notice to provide the next-of- kin or have the account confiscated within
the next ten (10) official working days.
Since bank have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 3 years
now I seek your consent to present you as the next-of-kin to the deceased
since you are from the same country and bear the same last name ,so that the
proceeds of this account valued at $18.2 Million Dollars can be paid to you
and then you and me can share the money,50% to me and 45% to you, while 5%
should be for expenses or tax as your government may require,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 alternative email:
{mr_folaazeez@yahoo.com} to enable us discuss further.
Thank you
My Regards,
Fola Azeez
