GOOD DAY
I am Barrister James Ego (Esq), the Personal Attorney to a
ForeignContractor,who worked with a Multi-National Oil Firm in Nigeria. On
the 21st of July 1999, my client,AN AMERICA National, late Engineer
Alexander Vigil an oil Merchant Contractor with the Federal Government of
Nigeria,died in a ghastly motor accident with his wife and three kids along
sagamu express way All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their
lives.
Since then I have made several inquiries to Several Embassies 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.Then I
haveto contact you to assist me in repatriating the money left behind by my
client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Bank
where this huge deposits were lodged.Particularly, the Bank where the
deceased had an account valued at about US$24 Million has issued me a notice
to provide the next of kin,relatives so that the fund left will be
transferred or have the account confiscated within the next twenty official
working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 3 years
now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased so
that the proceeds of this account valued at US$24Million can be paid to you
and then you and I can share this money. 60 to me and 35% to you,while 5%
should be for expenses or tax as your Government may require.
All I require is your honest and co-operation 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. I will want
you to send to me on your return email the following information
for the transfer in your favour
1, Your full Name
2, Your contact Address
3, Your private phone/Fax
I await your kind response,Please reply to my private email
