Subject: DEAR FRIEND
DEAR FRIEND,
PROPOSAL REQUEST FOR YOUR COOPERATION TO ACT AS NEXT OF KIN
I am Dr.Kofina Ahamed, a personal doctor to Mr. Gill Thomas who used
to work with shell development company In Nigeria. On the 21st of April
2004,my client, his wife and their three children were involved In a
car accident along shagamu express road. All occupants of the vehicle
unfortunately lost there lives. Since then I have made several
enquiries to his 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
contact you. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money
that belongs to my client before they get confiscated or declared
Unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits were lodged, the
Bank where the deceased had an account valued at about US$50 Million
dollars has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the
account confiscated within the next twenty official working days. Since
I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives, for over One month
now. I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the
deceased since I now have no alternative, so that the proceeds of this
account valued at $50 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 the Death
Certificate of Mr. Gill Thomas 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 as I am already in good contact with the bank for
this funds transfer. I only need now to present your information as the
next of kin.
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 email to enable us discuss further.
We will employ the services of an accredtied Attorney to the bank here
to obtain affidavit and other necessary legal documents from court for
a legal transfer when you respond to my mail.
