Subject: NEXT OF KIN NEEDED.
Dear Sir,
I am sorry for the embarrassment this mail might cause you,
as we have not met before. I am Barrister Joseph Sanusi, a
solicitor at law, I am the personal attorney to Engineer
Edward A., a national of your Country, who used to work
with Mobil oil Nigeria plc. Hereinafter shall be referred
to as my client.
On the 21st of April 2002, my client, his wife and their
children were involved in a car accident along Kano -
Sokoto express Road while arriving from Easter Holiday to
Warri Delta State. All occupant of the vehicle
unfortunately lost their lives, since then I have made
several enquiries to locate any of my clients extended
relatives this has been unsuccessful. I came across your
name and contact, while I was searching for Edward's
relations,since my search did not yield the desired result,
I had to contact you for this project.
I am contacting you to assist in repatriating the money and
properties left behind by my client before they get
confiscated or declared unserviceable by the finance house
where these funds were deposited. Particularly, the finance
house where the deceased has an account valued $USD50
Million Dollars, last year issued me a 12 months notice to
provide the Next of Kin or have the fund consignment
confiscated, and this altimatum expires by next month.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives
for over two 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 proceed of this deposit valued at
$USD50 Million Dollars can be released to you and then you
and I can share the money, 50% for me 45% for you, and the
remaining 5% will be for expenses and tax. Please, find
attached, picture of the funds as was taken by my client
before it was deposited at the bank, because he made the
money in one of the Oil deals he had with our Oil Minister.
Also is the family picture of Engr. Edward. This is just to
proof to you that my proposal is genuine. I also have all
necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any
claim we may make.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see
this business through. I guarantee that this will be
executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect
you from any breach of the law. Get in touch with me
through my email address (jsanusi2005@yahoo.com) so that
we can proceed.
Sincerely yours,
Barrister Joseph Sanusi Esq.
