Subject: ATTENTION:BIKER;YOUR URGENT ATTENTION/CONSENT IS NEEDED.
ATTN:BIKER
Dear Biker,
I could discern that this mail might come to you as a surprise as we have not met prior to my sending you this mail.Let me therefore introduce myself to you.
I am Mr.John Osagie,the Secretary/personal assistant to Mr.David Biker,a national of your country,who used to work with Shell Development Company here in Nigeria. On the 21st of April 2002, Mr David, his wife and their only child were involved in a car accident along Lagos- Ibadan Express Road and all of them died.Since then I have made several attempts/enquiries to locate any of his extended relatives,and these has also been unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts,I decided to contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by Mr.David before the security company where he deposited the money could confisicate or declare it unserviceable. Particularly,the security finance company where the deceased had an account valued at about US$10.5million dollars has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confisicated within the next twenty-one official working days.
Since I have been unsuccesful in locating the relatives for over 2 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 proceeds of this account valued at 10.5million USDollars can be paid to you and then you and me can share the money 60% to me and 30% to you, while 10% will be setaside for settling any expenses that might be involved in the course of processing the payment remittance to you.So I want to front/present you as the next of kin & therefore beneficiary of the fund. I have put in place the preliminary arrangement towards ensuring an expedited processing of the payment and procuring necessary legal documents that would be used to backup the(our) claim we make over the fund in your name and favour as the legitimate next of kin and therefore the legally certified and authorised beneficiary.
All I require is your honest co-operation or assistance 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,hence the business is 100% risk-free.
Please get in touch with me immediately for more details. Once I have your consent and trust then we can proceed immediately.
I anticipate your urgent response.
Best regards,
John Osagie.
