Dear
I am Mr. Kiz Wokes, a Lawyer by profession. I am the personal attorney to Mr. Renee K. fowler; a foreign national who worked for the Chevron Texaco Ltd UK, herein after shall be referred to as my client. On the 21st of April 2004, my client, his wife and their three children were involved in a Bus accident, which claimed their lives. 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, but this has proved unsuccessful. I came to know about you through an enquiry I was making in the Internet. I decided contact you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by Mr. Renee before they got confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Finance Company (NatWest Bank Plc London). Where the deceased had an account valued at US$8.5 Million Dollars, Already they has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confisticated within the n!
ext 21
official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful 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 US$8.5 Million Dollars can be paid to you and we can share the money, on the ratio of 60% for me, and 40% for you. I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up the claim we are making. All I require is your honest co-operation 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. Please get in touch with me immediately by email and send to me your full contact address, telephone and fax numbers to enable us discuss further about this transaction in details and to secure a letter of administration in your name.
You most respect the confidential nature of this business and on no account should you call my official phone line in respect of the transaction because doing so is complete exposure of the deal. Looking forward to receive your immediate reply.
Best regards,
Mr. Kiz Wokes (Esq.)
