Hi ,
I am Barrister Davidson Welsh, a solicitor at law. I am the personal
attorney to Mr Frank, an indigene of your country, who used to work with
Shell Petro-chemical and Development Company in Nigeria. Herein> after shall
be referred to as my client. On the 21st of April 1999, my client, his wife
and their three children were involved in a car accident along Festac Road.
All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I
have made several inquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients
extended relatives but this has proved unsuccessful. After these several
unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his last name over the Internet,
to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you. I have contacted
you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by my
client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank
where his huge deposits were lodged, particularly the Universal Security
Company of Victoria Island, Nigeria where the deceased had an account valued
at about 29.5 million dollars and other valuable has issued me a notice to
provide the next-of-kin or have the account confiscated after four years if
not claimed. So we have just one year left.Since I have been unsuccessful in
locating the relatives for over 2 years now I seek your consent to present
you as the next-of-kin of the deceased since you have the same last name so
that the proceeds of his account valued at 29.5 million dollars can be paid
to you and then you and I can share the money. I have all necessary legal
documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make.
I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free. On
smoth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitiled to 30% of the
total sum as gratification, while 10% will be set aside to take care of
expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also telephone
bills, while 60% will be for me. Please, you have been adviced to keep top
secret as we are still in service and intend to retire from service after we
conclude this deal with you.All I require 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 get in touch with me through my email address:
dwelsh12@ameinfo.com OR dwelsh13@yahoo.co.uk
I look forward to your urgent response.
Best Regards,
BARR. DAVIDSON WELSH
