Hello,
I am Barrister Daniel Ugochukwu,lawyer to Peter Bush Oil Contractor/Consultant, Who migrated from your country. On Monday, July 21, 2003 my client with his wife and their two sons were involved in a plane crash that happened in Kano State in the Northern part of Nigeria. Unfortunately, they all lost their lives in the event of the accident.
Since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of their extended families and 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 no progress yet, hence I contacted you. I contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where he lodged these huge deposits Particularly, the bank where the deceased had an account valued at about $14.6 million U.S dollars. Consequently, the bank issued me a notice to provide the Successor or have the account confiscated within a short time.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over some years now, I seek your consent to present you as the Successor to the deceased so that the proceeds of the account valued at $14.6 million U.S dollars can be paid to your account for both of us to share the fund in ratio of 65% to me and 30% to you, while 5% should be for expenses or tax as your government may require.
I have legal documents that will be used to backup the claim. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through and help the little baby to see for her future. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you and I from any breach of the law both now and in future.
I anticipate your mail.
Barrister Daniel Ugochukwu.
Principal Attorney
