Subject: Urgent Information to Next of Kin
Hello ,
I am Barrister Jonathan Baily, a solicitor at law. I am the personal
attorney to Mr. Delay, who used to work with Shell Development Company in
Nigeria. On the 21st of April 2003, my client, his wife and their only
daughter were involved in a car accident along sagbama express road.
All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost there lives.
Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy here to locate any
of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to look for any body
who will be willing to assist me in recovering the fund valued at US$32.2
million left behind by my client before it gets confisicated or declared
unserviceable by the Bank where this huge amount were deposited.
The said Bank has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the
account confisicated within the next twenty one official working days.
Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over 2 years
now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased
hence I have all the legal document to back you up for the claim, so that
the proceeds of this account can be paid to you.
Therefore, on receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss on
how we can sharing the funds when it get into your account. I have all
necessary information and legal documents needed to back you up for claim.
All I require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us see this
transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
IF YOU ARE VERY MUCH READY TO PROCEED WITH ME, THEN CONTACT ME 0N THIS
