FINANCIAL ADVISER

LAGOS-NIGERIA
ATTN:DEAR FRIEND,
I am the financial adviser to DAVID, a national of your country, who is an
oil merchant in Nigeria. On the 21st of April 2002, my client, his wife and
their two children were involved in a car accident (Auto Crash) along
Sagbama Express Road Bayalsa State, here in Nigeria. All occupants of the
vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have made several
inquiries to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has proven
unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives
over the Internet, but to no avail, hence I mandated my secretary to search
for any possible relative of my late client before the bank gets the account
confiscated or declared unserviceable, the bank where the deceased had an
account valued at about USD$12 million (TWELVE MILLION DOLLARS) The bank has
issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account
confiscated within the next 14 working days. I then decided to present you
as the next of kin of the deceased since you are from the same country and
bear the same surname. The said amount will be paid to you if you comply
immediately with all the necessary documents of the deceased in my
possession.
Immediately the money is paid to you, 60% of the total amount will be for
me, 30% for you, while the remaining 10% should be for expenses or taxation
as your government may required.
I have all the necessary legal documents that can be used to back up our
claim.
1. The Death Certificate
2. Police Report
3. Letter of Administration
4. Sworn Affidavit

us see this transaction through. I guarantee you that this will be executed

of the law even during and after the transaction. In other words, every
document to affect this process will emanate from my table and I will

guidelines. So you have nothing to worry about, because we have all the
legal documents to back it up when the fund is finally hits your chosen bank
account.
Please be rest assured that this transaction is 100% risk-free. Note that
the particular nature of your company's business is irrelevant to this
transaction. If this proposal is acceptable by you, to assist me achieve
