Subject: Dear Sir/Ma
BARRISTER . Charles Ezenna & CO.
Solicitors & Advocates.
Dear Sir/Ma.=======Great Opportunity,
It is obvious that this proposal will come to you as a surprise.
This is because we have not met before but i am inspired to
sending you this email by the huge fund transfer opportunity
that will be of mutual benefit to the two of us.
I am Barrister .Charles Ezenna ,a solicitor at law. I am the Personal Attorney to
Mr.Steve Morre,anMartin Ohia American from Ogden City in Utah-USA.He
worked with amultinational oil Company called Shell Development Company in Nigeria,here
in after shall be referred to as my client.He died alongside his wife and
the Children on the 21st April 1999 along Benin/Lagos Expressway in a
ghastly auto crash.
I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients
extended relatives but all my efforts so far has proved unsuccessful.After
these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace any one via
internet.someone that can stand as next of kin,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 these huge deposits worth {$27Million United States Dollars}were
Lodged. Just two weeks ago,the Bank issued me a notice to provide the next
of kin or have the account confiscated within the next one month.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 9 months
now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased
since you are a foriegner so that the proceeds of this account valued at $27
Million Dollars can be paid into your account for our own use.I strongly
suggest we share the money thus:-60% to me and 40% to you.The necessary
legal documents if any that can be used to back up any claims will be
notorized at the High Court here in Nigeria.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing this deal
through.I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.I will like you
to treat this as most urgent for us to set sail.Reply to
Thanks and God bless.
Best Regards,
Barr.Charles EzennaEGs
