Subject: Please read this mail.
I am Barrister Jonathan Nwadike a solicitor at law. I am the personal
attorney to Mr. Joel Cadieux a national of your country, who used to
work with shell Development Company in Togo (Togo is a small country in
west Africa). Here in after shall be
referred to as my client. On the 21st of April 2001, my client, his wife
and
their only daughter 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 here to locate any
of
my client extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After
these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his last name over
the internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you. I
have contacted you to assist in recovering the fund valued at
US$13.5million left behind by my client before it get confiscated or
declared unserviceable
by the Security Finance Film where this huge amount were deposited. The
said Security Finance Company has issued me a notice to provide the next of
kin or have the account confiscated with in the next twenty one official
working days. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives
for over1 year now, I seek the consent to present you as the next of kin to
the deceased since you have the same last name, so that the proceeds of
this account can be paid to you. Therefore, on receipt of your positive
response, we shall then discuss the sharing ratio and modalities for
transfer. I have necessary information and legal documents needed to
back you up for claim. All I require from you, is your honest cooperation
to
enable us see this transaction through. I guarantee that this will be
executed
under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of
the law. Please get in touch with me through only on this email :
jondike1@walla.com
Best regards,
Barrister Jonathan Nwadike.
