Subject: ATTENTION
Attention,
Firstly, I must first apologize for this unsolicited mail to you. I am aware
that this is certainly an unconventional approach to starting a
relationship, but as time goes on you will realize the need for my action.
I am Saheed Fasil, a Nationality of Omen, and Financial Controller of Late
Engineer Peter Powell, a national of your country , who was an Oil
Merchant/Contractor with the Federal Government of Nigeria. On 4/5/2003, my
client and his wife, and their two children were involved in a Tragic Plane
Crash along Northern State of Nigeria "kano" Since then I have made several
inquiries 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 over the
Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left
behind by my Boss before they get Confiscated or declared unserviceable by
the bank where this huge deposits were lodged, particularly the Zenith bank
plc, Where the deceased had an account Valued at about (US$1.7Million) which
the board of directors of the bank has Issued me a notice to provide the
next of kin within the time frame of two weeks or have the account
confiscated within the next Fifteen official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for past 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$1.7Million U S Dollars)
can be paid to you and then you and we can share the money 60% to me and 30%
to you also 10% for the Charity Homes and the less privileged people in the
society, However I will revalidate and notarize all the necessary legal
documents that can be used to back up any claim we will make.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing this deal
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you, from any breach of the law. Your urgent
respond on this issue will be highly appreciated.
All The Best.
Saheed Fasil.
Financial Controller.
Benco Oil PPL.
