Subject: IMPORTANT!!
Hello,
I am MASON DANIELS,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 Sagamu/Lagos Express Road. Unfortunately they all lost their lives in
the event of the accident,Since then I have made several enquiries to
several Embassies to locate any of my clients extended relatives,this has
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 the
deceased had an account at
about$30.millionU.Sdollars(ThirtymillionUSdollars) .
Conseqently,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 unsuccesfull in locating the 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 U$30 million U.S
dollars can be paid into your account.
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.
I will be glad if you contact me as soon as you receive this mesage to
indicate your interest.
I look forward to hearing from you soonest.You can also contact me on my
private box below.
Yours Faithfully,
Barr.Mason Daniels (ESQ)
