Dear friend,
It is obvious that this proposal will come to you as a suprise.
This is because we have not met before but i am inspired to sending you
this email by the huge fund transfer opportunity that will be of mutual
benefit to the two of us.
However, I am Samson Gana personal Attorney to the late Engr.Steve
Moore a national of Isle of Man in UK, who used to work with Shell
Petroleum DevelopmentCompany(SPDC) in Nigeria. On the 21st of April
1996,my client,his wife And their three children were involved in a car
accident along Sagamu/Lagos Express Road.
Unfortunately they all lost their lives in the event of the accident,
Since then I have made several enquiries to several Embassies to locate
any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved
unsuccessful.After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to
tracehisrelatives over the Internet to locate any member of his family
but of no avail,hence I contacted you.
I contacted you to assist in repartrating the money and property left
behind by my client,I can easily convince the bank with my legal
practice that you are the only surviving relation of my client.
Otherwise the Estate he left behind will be confiscated or declared
unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits were lodged.
Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an account valued at
about $27million U.S dollars(twenty seven million U.S.America
dollars).Conseqently,The bank issued me a notice to provide the next of
kin or have the account confiscated within the next ten official
working days.since i have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives
for over several 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 $27million U.S dollars can be paid to your account and then you and
me can share the money.55%to me and 40% to you,while 5% should be for
expenses or tax as your government may require.
I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any
claim we may make.All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us
see this deal through.I guarantee that this will be executed under
alegitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the
law.Please get in touch with me by my private e-mail
address<samsongana@walla.com>
to enable us discuss further.
Yours Faithfully,
Barrister Samson Gana
