Dear Azar,
I am Barrister J.K.Clark Esq.,an attorney of law.
I am the personal attorney to late Mr.Roy J.Azar,
a national of your country, possibly could be your
brother or close relation, who used to work with
Anglo-Dutch oil giant, Shell Petroleum and Development
Company (SPDC) in Nigeria,here-in-after shall be
referred to as my client.
On the 23rd of August 2002, my client, his wife and
their two children were involved in a ghastly motor
accident along Lagos-Ibadan Express
Road.Unfortunately, all occupants of the vehicle lost
their lives as the vehicle caught fire after the
crash. Since then I have made several inquiries to
your embassy to locate any of my clients extended
relatives but this has proved unsuccessful. After
these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to
track his last name over the Internet, to locate any
member of his family hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and
property left behind by my client before they get
confiscated, frozen or declared unserviceable by the
bank where these huge deposits were lodged.
Particularly, one of the commercial Bank here where
the deceased had an investment account valued at
Twelve Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States
Dollars only (US$12,500,000:00).
The management of the Bank has issued me a notice to provide the next
of kin
or have the account frozen within the next ten[10]
official working days or have his fund confiscated.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the
relatives for over one year now, I seek your consent
to present you as the next of kin of the deceased
since you have the same last name with him so that the
proceeds of this account valued at U.S$12,500,000.00
can be paid to you and then you and I can share the
money on 60%/40% basis.
It is instructive to note that I have all the necessary legal documents
that
can be used to back up any claim we might make.
And these I must do to make sure that this fund is not
wasted or end up in the wrong hands. 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 all parties involved from
any breach of the law.
Please your favourable reply is urgently needed
through my private email address of
"clarklawchambers@fastermail.com" stating your private
address and telephone and fax numbers.
Best regards,
Barrister J.K.CLARK, Esq. (SAN)
