Dear Friend,
I am BARRISTER ALEX BENJAMIN, a solicitor at law. I am the personal
attorney to Mr.Ambrozy Peter, National of your country who works with Shell
Development Company in Nigeria and he is known and referred to as my Client. On
the 24th of August 2004, my client, his wife and their three children were
involved in a car accident along shagamu express road. Unfortunately all the
entire family lost their lives in the tragedy. Since then, I have made several
enquires to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives but all
my efforts proved unsuccessful.
After these unsuccessful attempts failed, I decided to track any member
of his family or his national hence I contacted you. Now my contacts to you is
to assist me in REPATRIATING THE MONEY IN HIS BANK ACCOUNT HERE before the
accident and his properties he left behind before every thing will be
confisticated or declared unserviceable by the bank where he deposit
this money valued $15,000,000. More importantly, the bank where the deceased
client deposited these huge sums of money has served me a write of notice to
provide the NEXT OF KIN of my client or the account will be confisticated.
Since I have tried and failed on several occasions in locating his relatives I
am now seeking for your consent to present you as the next of kin of the
deceased, so that the money in his account will be paid to you while I will come
over to your country for the sharing.
I will take 50% while you will take 40%. Then the remaining 10% will be
use for unforseen expenses that may arise. I have all the necessary legal
documents that can be use to back up any claim we may want. 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 arrangement that will protect you from
any breach of the law.
