ATTN;
I am Barrister JOHNSON OKOH a solicitor at law. I am the personal
Attorney to MR WILLAIMS FIELD,a national of your country, who
lived in Nigeria.
Here in after shall be referred to as my client. On the Thursday,
December 25, 2003,my client, was involved in a PLANE CRASH.This
occurred Thursday afternoon as the Boeing 727 took off from the
airport in Cotonou, Benin's commercial capital on the shores
of the Atlantic Ocean.
The ill-fated plane was boundfor Beirut, Lebanon.My client was
travelling to Beirut on the single reason of visiting his
Inlaws.His wife{A LEBANESE} and their only daughter
were involved in the crash and were among the 111 people
confirmed dead.Since then I have made several inquiries from your embassy
here to locate any of my client's extended relatives, this has proved
unsuccessful.I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and
property left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared
unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits was
lodged.Particularly, the UNION BANK PLC where the deceased had an account
valued at about$15 million dollars has issued me a notice to provide the
next of kin or have the account confisicated within the next six months.
Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over
2years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of
the deceased so that the proceeds of thisaccount valued at$15 million
dollars can be paid to you.If you agree we can discuss your percentage.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.
Awaiting your response.
