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.
