My Dear
I am Barrister Bello Bricks Obison , I am the Personal Attorney to Mr
Patch, who use to work with Eagle Cement Company here in Nigeria. On the 2nd
of Dec. 2002, my client,his wife and only son ,got involved in a car
accident, all occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost there lives. Since
then I have made several enquiries to locate any of my late clients extended
relatives, this has proved very unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts to locate his extended family
since he died with his immediate family,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 have contacted you to assist in repartrating the
fund left behind by my late client because the bank have asked me as his
lawyer to produce his next of kin . I contacted you because you bear the
same surname with my late client and he is also from your country.
Particularly, Bank have given me a notice to provide the next of kin to
claim the inheritance valued at a US$10 Million Dollars or have the amount
confisicated, since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for
over years, now I seek your conscent to present you as the next of kin of
the deceased since your a foreigner so that the proceeds of this account
valued at US$10 Million can be paid to you.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law of your country
and my country too as a professional legal attorney in the field.
Finally, kindly maintain confidentiality between me and you on this
transaction and send the following information to me to indicate your
interest.
