Dear Dick,
I am Barrister JOHN IBE,Solicitor. I am the
Personal Attorney to Mr William Dick,a national of
your country, who used to work with shell development
company in Nigeria.On the 21st of April 2002, my client,
his wife And their three children 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 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
have contacted you to assist in repartrating the money
and property left behind by my client 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 9 million dollars has issued me a notice to
provide the next of kin or have the account
confisicated within the next ten official working
days. since i have been unsuccesfull in locating the
the relatives for over 2 years now I seek your consent
to present you as the next of kin of the deceased
since you are from the same country so that the
proceeds of this account valued at $10 million dollars
can be paid to you 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 dealt 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 private
email[ibejohn777@yahoo.co.uk] to enable us discuss further.
