Subject: Stand as next of kin to Mr. David Caitlin.
Dear sir/madam,
I am Barrister Chanaka A. Willis, a solicitor at law.
I am the personal attorney to Mr. David Caitlin,a native of your country,
who used to work with Shell Oil Development Company in Nigeria.
Here in after shall be referred to as my client. On the 21st of April 2003,
my client, his wife and their three children were involved in a car
accident alongs agbama 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 also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to contact any
individual over the Internet, since i can't locate any member of his family
to assist me.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and properties
left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared
unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposit were lodged.
Particularly, the Assurance Bank Limited where the deceased had an account
valued at about US$10.5 Million has issued me a notice to provide the next
of kin or have the account confiscated within the six(6)weeks.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over Twenty
three (27) months now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of
kin of the deceased since you has the same surname with late David.
By presenting your names as the next of kin, the inheritance will be
transfer to your name as the sole beneficary and the proceeds of this
account valued at US$10.5 Million can be paid to your account.
You and I can share the(INHERITANCE) money 60% to me and 40% to you.
I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to backup any claim
we may make.
Besides i'm the legal signatory to the account and it is the duty of the
chamber to give clearance to any person standing as the next of kin.
My involvment into the transaction makes the claim risk free and
legitimate.
All I need from you is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal
through.
I guarantee that this inheritance transaction will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Please get in touch with me immediately as I do not have much time in my
disposal.
Call me as soon as you get this email and reply to my private email box
