Dear Good Friend.
I am Barrister Tony Williams the personal Attorney to Mr. James, a national of your country who used to work with Chevron Company in Lagos – Nigeria. On the 26th of October 2003, my client, his wife and their only child were involved in a car accident along Ibadan 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 trace his relatives over the Internet to locate any member of his family but to no avail. It's not compulsory that the next-of-kin must be a blood relation to the deceased, hence I contacted because you are from
the same country with my late client. Be informed that a next-of-kin can be anybody, friends or organization (Charity Organization).
I have contacted you to assist me in repatriating the money left behind by my client before they got confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Finance House where these huge deposits were lodged, since his wife and child whom were supposed to inherit the fund are also involved in the accident. The Finance House where the deceased had an account valued at about US$20M (Twenty Million United States Dollars) has 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 unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over a year now, I now seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you are from the same country with my late client, so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$20M can be paid to you and then you and I can share the money; 50% to me and 40% to you, while 10% should be for expenses or tax as your government may required.
I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up your claim as the next-of-kin, all I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this transaction 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 immediately you acknowledge the good receipt of this mail.
Anticipating your prompt response.
Yours-in-Service,
Barr. Tony Williams.
