Dear Friend,
I am Barrister frankmadu, a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney to Mr. W. Mark, a foreigner who used to work with shell development company in Nigeria and as well a one time secret agent in transfering of money overseas for the Late head of state of Nigeria {Late Gen. Sani Abacha}. Before his death On the 21st of April 2002 {my client, his wife and their three children were involved in a car accident along Badagry Express Road in which all occupants of the vehicle died}. My client deposited as family belongings in a CONSIGNMENT {i.e jewelries} the sum of $7 Million in a Citi Exchange Security and Finance Company here in Nigeria and from there to citi royal exchange abroad for himself, with the hope of transferring it to his country as soon as he is on leave. Since his death I have made several enquiries to his embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to contact a foreign partner (you), I have contacted you to assist in repartrating this consignment which is money left behind by my client before they get confisicated or declared unknown by the security company where this huge deposits were lodged. The Citi Exchange Security and Finance Company where the deceased had deposited this consignment has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the consignment confisicated within the next thirty(30) official working days. Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the the relatives, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased so that the proceeds of this deposit valued at $7 million dollars can be handed over to you and then you and i with my two collegues can share the money. 60% for us, 30% for you and 10% for lacal and international expenses.
I will manipulate all the necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim that we make. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see that this deal went 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 by my email to enable us discuss further. Best Regards,
Barrister frank maduReply to f_maduchambers@myway.com
