Dear Partner ,
Kindly accept my apology for sending unsolicited mail to you. I
believe you are a highly respected personality, considering the fact
that I sourced your profile from a human resource profile database on
your country. Though, I do not know to what extent you are familiar
with events.
Well, I am Barrister Okoh Frank, a Solicitor. I am the Personal
Attorney to Mr. Steve A , who used to work with Agip Oil Company in
Nigeria. On the 21st of April 2003, his wife and their three children were
involved in a car accident along Abuja Express Road.Unfortunately, they all
lost their lives in the event of the accident.
Since then I have made several enquiries to your Embassy to locate any
of my client's relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After
these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives
over the Internet to locate any member of his family but to no avail,
hence, I contacted you to assist in repatriating the money left behind
by my client in a Bank.
Particularly, the Finance House where the deceased deposited the US$15
Million (Fifteen Million United States Dollars only) knows me very well
and has ask me to present some one to claim the fund left my late
client as they all know I am his attorney.
Consequently, this Bank issued me a notice to provide the Next of Kin
to claim the US$15 Million (Fifteen Million United States Dollars only)
in their custody within the next ten 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
to claim the fund as the Next of Kin to him so that the Bank will
transfer the fund to your account.
Upon receipt of the fund, I will come over to your country to meet
with you for the disbursement of the fund and then you and I will share
the money in this order: 70% will be for me, 30% will be for you. I
have all the necessary legal documents that can back our claim we may
make with the Bank.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us seeing this
deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.Contact me
at my private email address :barristerokoh106@yahoo.com
Best regards.
Okoh Frank
Principal Attorney
