Subject: Dear Friend BUSINESS PARTNER (NEXT OF KIN)
BUSINESS PARTNER
NEXT OF KIN
Email : monday_james1@yahoo.com
Dear Friend,
I am monday james, the personal financial consultant to Mr Gregory Barrow,a
national of your country, who used to work with the Nigerian Petroleum Trust
Fund,(PTF),as an expartriate staff,here in Nigeria. He was our valued
Customer.On the 22nd October 2005, my client, his wife And their only child
were involved in the plane crash here in Nigeria with Belview Airlines
(Executive Airline Services) flight,BELVIEW 210,Registration: 5N-ESF,with
our Post master General Abubakar Agungu. Since then I have made several
attempts to locate any of his extended relatives but this has also proved
unsuccessful.After those several unsuccessful attempts to locate any member
of his family, I decided to contact you on this subject matter so that I can
present you as the bonafide next of kin to the said account.
NOTE:Your business status does not matter in this transaction,What matters
is your ability to assist in repartrating the fund left behind by my client
before they get confisicated or declared unserviceable by the Finance
Company where this huge sum is lodged. Particularly,the Pacific Finance and
Investment Company where the deceased had a deposit whose total value
including accrued interest is about US$12.5Million (Twelve Million Five
Hundred Thousand US Dollars Only).As his finance consultant in the same
company,I have been mandated to provide the next of kin or have thefund
confisicated within few weeks.Since I have no clue of any of his next of
kin/relatives,and has tried unsuccesfully to locate them for some months
now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased
as if it is an inheritance left behind by him for you as his next of kin so
that the proceeds of this account valued at US$12.5Million(Twelve Million
Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars Only) will be paid to you as an
inheritance, and then you and I will share the fund after you receive it in
your account. I have the ability to negotiate for the release of the Death
Certificate of the deceased,which shall serve as one of the legal documents
that can be used to back-up the transaction.If you can handle this
transaction for our joint benefit, please get back to me on as soon as
possible,so that I can give you more details on this matter.What is required
now is to register/authenticate you as the bonafide next of kin to the fund.
All I require is your honest cooperation 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 will discuss
the sharing ratio when you respond.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best Regards.
Mr.monday james
