HIGH COURT REPRESENTATIVE
SUITE 202 OMEGA PLAZA, APAPA
LAGOS - NIGERIA. ]
Good Day
It is obvious that this proposal will come to you as a surprise. This is
because we have not met before but I am inspired to sending you this Email
by the huge fund transfer opportunity that will be of mutual benefit to the
two of us.
However, I am Barrister Chiyem Ego, the personal Attorney to the late
Engr.Steve Moore a national of Isle of Man in UK, who used to work with
Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) in Nigeria.
On the 21st of April 1996, my client, his wife and their three children were
involved in a car accident along Shagamu/Lagos Express Road.
Unfortunately they all lost their lives in the event of the accident, since
then I have made several Enquirers to several Embassies to 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 of no avail, hence
I contacted you.
I contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind
by my client, I can easily convince the bank with my legal practice that you
are the only surviving relation of my client.
Otherwise the Estate he left behind will be confiscated or declared
unserviceable by the bank where these huge deposits were lodged.
Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an account valued at about
$27million U.S dollars (twenty seven million America Dollars).
Consequently, the bank 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 several years now.
I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased so
that the proceeds of this account valued at $27million US Dollars can be
paid to your account and then you and me can share the money, 55% to me and
40% to you, while 5% should be for expenses or tax as your government may
require.
I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any Claim
we may make All I require is your honest cooperation 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 email to enable us discuss further, I will
want you to send to me on your return email with the following Information
for the transfer in your favor.
1, Your full Name,
2, Your contact Address
3, Your private phone, Mobile and fax numbers for easy communicating
for each other.
I am await your kind response, Please if you are interested and capable in
handling this deal with me, due get back to me ASAP with the following
Information.
Yours Faithfully,
