I am Barrister Williams Ayo , a Solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney to Mr.

Development Oil 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 Sagama express-road.
All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have made
several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives

decided to track his last name over the Internet to locate any member of his family
hence I contacted you but I know you dont know him, but with your last name been
the same, we can get this money.
I have 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 these huge deposits were lodge, valued at about Seven Million, Five Hundred
And Twenty Two Thousand United States Dollars (US$7.522M). The bank has issued me a
notice to provide the Next of Kin or have the account confiscated within the next
Fourteen official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 3 years now I
seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin of the deceased since you have
the same last name. So that the proceeds of this account valued at (US$7.522M) can
be paid to you and then you and me can sharethe money 50% to me and 40% to you and
the ramaining 10% will be for any expencies.
Including some other properties too. I have all necessary legal documents that can
be used to back up 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 arrangement that will
protect you from any breach of the law. Please reply to my alternative mail address

assist me in this transaction.
