Dear friend
I am Barrister JEFF EZE, a Solicitor and the Personal Attorney to Mr.T
NEEL ,a national of your country, who used to work with shell Development
Company in Nigeria. On the 2nd of May 2002, my client, his wife and their
three children were involved in a car accident along Sagamu Express Road.
All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their 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, so to locate any member of his family but to no avail, hence I
contacted you. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money that
belong to my client before they get confiscated or declared asunserviceable
by the bank where this huge deposit were lodged. Particularly, the Bank
where the deceased had an account valued at about $10.5 Million Dollars, has
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 3 years
now. Therefore, I have decided to seek your consent to present you as
the"Next Kin" of the deceased since you are from the same Country and bear
the same last name, so that the proceeds of this account valued at $10.5
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% will be mapped out for any expenses
during the process or Tax as your Government may require, I have the
Certificaten of deposit that can be used to back up any claim we may make.
All I require is your honest Cooperation to enable us seeing 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 strictly via this email: jeffeze62@hotmail.com ,,,,,,,,,to
enable us discuss
further.
Best regards,
Barr. JEFF EZE
