PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL
Dear friend,
I am Barrister Frank Smith, a Solicitor. I am the Personal Attorney
to Mr.Fredrick Intihar,a Foreigner who used to work with Atlas
Dredging company in Nigeria.On the 21st of April 2001, my client,his
wife And their two children were involved in a car accident along
Sagbama Express Road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost
their lives.Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy
to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has proved
unsuccessful.After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to
trace his relatives over the Internet to locate any member of his
family but to no avail,hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist in repartrating the money left behind
by my late client before they get confiscated or declared
unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits were lodged.The
bank where my late client deposited US$ $7.3 million has issued me a
notice to provide the next of kin or have the money confiscated
within the next twenty official working days. Since I have been
unsuccesful in locating his relatives for over two years, I decided
to seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the
deceased since you are from the same country so that the proceeds of
this amount valued at $7.3 million dollars can be paid to you and
then you and me can share the money.50% to me and 35% to you,while
10% goes to Katrina and Rita victims, 5% should be for expenses or
taxes as your government may require. I will procure all necessary
legal _document_s that can be used to back up any claim we may
make.All I need from you is your honest 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.Please you may wish to reply me through
this email; barrfrank@land.ru.
Best regards,
Barr Frank Smith
