Attn: Gerard
I am Barrister Kalu E. Kalu , a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney
to Mr. James Gerard, a national of your country, who used to work with Shell
Development Company in Nigeria. Here in after shall be referred to as my
client.
On the 21st of April 2004, my client, his wife and their only son were
involved in a car accident along sagbama express road. All occupants of the
vehicle unfortunately lost there 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 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 repartrating the assets and Capital valued
at US$15.5million left behind by my client before they get confisicated or
declared unserviceable by the Security Finance Firm where this huge deposits
were lodged.
The said Security Finance Company has issued me a notice to provide the next
of kin or have the account confisicated within the next fourteen official
working days. Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for
over 2 years now, I seek the consent to present you as the next of kin to
the deceased since you have the same last names,so that the proceeds of this
account can be paid to you.
Therefore, on receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss the
sharing ratio and modalities for transfer. I have all necessary formation
and legal documents needed to back you up for claim.
All I require from you is your honest cooperation 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.
My alternative email address is (kaluekalu_002@yahoo.co.uk,) You can also
send your reply to that mail box.
I waiting to hear from you soon.
