FROM: BARRISTER EZE PHILIP & ASSOCIATES.
CONTACT ADDRESS: 4 OLA STREET,SURULERE LAGOS-NIGERIA
ATTENTION:
I am Barrister Eze Philip, a solicitor at law. I am the personal
attorney to Mr.Mark Keller,a national of your country, who used to work
with Shell-development Company in Nigeria. Here in after shall be
referred to as my client.
On the 21st of April 2000, my client, his wife and their three
children were involved in a car accident along Lagos Ibadan express
road,of which all occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their
lives.But before the death of my client,he deposited the sum
of$16Million United States Dollars in a BANK here in Nigeria with the
sole intention of acquiring roperties worth the said sum since he was
into properties and estate values with the Federal Government Of
Nigeria.With the POWER OF ATTORNEY issued to me by my Late client
beforehe and his family met their waterloo,i have been authorisized to act on
all legal matters concerning his estates and family issues.
Since then I have made several inquiries to your embassy to locate
any of my clients extended relatives but this has proved
unsuccessful.Hence i contacted you to assist in repatriating the money
and property left behind by my client before they get confiscated or
declared unserviceable by the BANK where this money is lodged.I know
that you might be wonder why i have decided to trust you with this huge
sum, but the truth is that i need you to get this money out .We have
just one year left or have the account confiscated after four years if
not claimed and this will only mean the rich getting richer because the
finance house will probaly share this money amongs themselves.
After these several unsuccessful attempts to locate any member of his
family to aacclaim this money as his next of kin for over 3 years. Now,
I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin(Beneficiary) of
the deceased since you both bear the same last name so that the
proceeds of this account valued at $16 million dollars can be paid to you and
then you and i can invest in estate and properties values. Of which i
sought to share the fund with you as follow: 55% shall be for me and
40% for you while 5% is earmarked for expenses that will be incurred during
the process of transferring the fund.
I will try to provide all necessary legal documents that can be used to
backup any claim we may make.All I require is your honest co-operation
to enable us see this deal through.I guarantee that this will be
executed under a legitimate atmorsphere that will protect you from any
breach of the law. More so you are to furnish me with below information
to enable the bank transfer the fund to your bank account.
1)Your full name and contact address
2)Your Ocupation, Age and Position
3)Your telephone and fax direct numbers for communication purpose.
4)Please send to me your bank information,
Thank you in anticipationI look forward to your urgent response.
