Dear Elberse,
I am Barrister Eddy Gbenga a solicitor at law and the personal attorney to Mr. Matt Elberse, a Nationality of your country who works with sheveron Petroleum Company in Nigeria and he is known and referred to as my Client. On the 22nd of May 2005,my client was involved in a fatal car accident along Portharcourt express road here in Nigeria. Unfortunately my client is a bachelor and had no wife or kid and since then, I have made several enquires to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives but all my efforts proved unsuccessful.
After these unsuccessful attempts failed, I decided to track his last name in the Internet to locate any member of his family or his nationality hence I contacted you. Now my contact to you is to assist me in repatriating the money in his bank account here before every thing will be confiscated or declared unserviceable by the finance company where he deposit this money valued $7.35m. More importantly, the finance company where my deceased client deposited these huge sums of money has served me a write of notice to provide the NEXT OF KIN of my client or the account will be confiscated.
Since I have tried and failed on several occasions in locating his relatives I am now seeking for your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased since you have the same last name with him, so that the money in his account will be paid to you while I will come over to your country for the sharing. I will take 50% while you will take 40%.and 10% will be donated to the less privileged and charity organization
I have all the necessary legal documents that can be use to backup any claim we may want. All I require is your honest cooperation 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.Finally, if this business interest you, please get in touch with me immediately via my e-mail: eddy_gben@yahoo.com also indicate to me your contact phone and fax numbers to enable me call you immediately for More
information.
I awaits your urgent reply.
