Dear Sir/Ma
I am Barrister Christ Bello Solicitor, Personal Attorney to one
foreigner (ENGR ANTHONY GOODLUCK), who used to work with Shell Petroleum
Company in Nigeria.
On the 21st of April 2000, my client, his wife and their three children
were involved in a car accident.Unfortunately they all lost their lives in
the event of the accident,since then I have made several enquiries 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.
I contacted you to assist in recovering the money left behind by my
client before they get Confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Finance
Company the bank where this huge deposits were lodged. Particularly, the
bank where the deceased had a deposit valued US$10.5 million dollars
Consequently, The bank issued me a notice to provide the Next Of Kin or have
his deposit with them confiscated within the next twenty official working
days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 3
years now, I sincerely seek your consent to present you as the next of kin
of the deceased since you are a foreigner like him so that the proceeds of
this deposit valued at US$$10.5Million dollars can be paid to you and then
you and i can share the money accordingly. 45% for you and 55% for me.
We will procure all necessary legal documents that can be used to back
up the claim. All I require from you, is your honesty and full
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. We may request that the money be paid to you through the
finance company paying bank via online banking if possible.
Please get in touch with me by my email christbb2007@yahoo.fr to enable
us discuss further and also forward your personal telephone and fax
numbers to me immediately.
