Dear ,
I am Barr.Daniel Emeka personal attorney to Mr.Engr.Thomas, a national of
your country, who used to work with Zenon Oil Company here in Nigeria herein
after, shall be referred to as my client. My client with his entire family
(The wife and Children) were involved in the explosion in Lagos,Nigeria, on
January 27, 2002 which, claimed many lives and property. Unfortunately, my
client and the family lost their lives in that disaster that needed not to
have happened.
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. My purpose of contacting you is to assist in repatriating the
money and property left behind by my client prior to his death before they
get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge
deposits were lodged and where the deceased had an account valued at about
US$14.5 Million dollars. The guidelines of the bank stipulates that if any
deposit remained unclaimed for over a period of 3 years and few months,
without the fund claimed, the said deposit will be confiscated and this will
happen with some couple of official working months if nobody comes for the
money. The company had issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have
the account confiscated.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over two 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 US$14.5 million dollars can
be paid to you and then you and me can share the money. 50% for me and 45%
to you,while 5% will be set asside for rembursement of incidental expenses
that may incure during the process of the transaction or tax as your
government may require, I will secure certificate of eposit and other
relevant approvals 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 legitimately to protect you
from any breach of the law.Please get in touch with me by email to enable us
discuss further.Please contact me through my alternative
