ATTN: DEAR
I am Barr.Samdickson Chuks(Esq.), a Solicitor. I am the Personal Attorney to Mr. Fredrick Slee, a national of your country, who is an oil merchant in Nigeria. On the 21st of April 2001, my client, his wife and their two children were involved in a car accident along Sagbama Express Road Balyasa State, here in Nigeria. All occupants of the vehicle
unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has proven unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided
to trace his relatives over the Internet, but of no avail, hence I mandated my secretary to search for any possible relative of my late clients in the Internet before the bank get the account confiscated or declared unserviceable, the bank where the deceased had an account valued at about USD$12M (TWELVE MILLION DOLLARS) The bank has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next 14 working days. I then decided to present you as the next of kin of the
deceased since you are from the same country. The said amount will be paid to you if you comply immediately with all the necessary documents of the deceased in my possession.
Immediately the money is paid to you, 60% of the total amount will be for me, 30% for you, while the remaining 10% should be for expenses or taxation as your government may required.
I have all the necessary legal documents that can be
used to back up our claim. All I required from you is your honest co-operation and assistance to enable us sees this transaction through.
I guarantee you that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. In other words, every document to affect this process will emanate from my table and I will perfect every document to be in accordance with the banking law and guidelines. So you have nothing to worry about, because we have all the legal
documents to back it up when the fund is finally hits your chosen bank account.
Please be rest assured that this transaction is 100%
risk-free. Note that the particular nature of your company's business is irrelevant to this transaction. If this proposal is acceptable by you, to assist me
achieve this goal, please endeavour to contact me
through my private email address: brucevant@joaboh.com,
for clarification and understanding in regards to this transaction.
