Dear VICTIMNAME ,
I am Barr.Austin Duke, solicitor and notary public, the personal attorney to Mr. John VICTIMNAME , who used to work with Multi-National Company here as a treasury controller. On the 15th of May 2002, my client, his wife and their only son were involved in a car accident along Ogun/Kumasi express road while coming back from the beach. Unfortunately they all lost their lives in the event of the accident, since then I have made several inquiries to locate any of my clients extended relatives and this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives over the Internet, to locate any member of his family but of no avail, hence I contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind before they get confiscated by the Security/finance Firm where my client deposited this huge deposit.
Particularly, the Security/finance Firm where the deceased had a deposit valued at about U.S$4.6million U.S dollars. Consequently,the Security/finance Firm issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the consignment Seized/confiscated within a short time.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating see this deal through. the relatives for over some years now seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you share the same surname so that the proceeds of the account valued at U.S$4.6 million can be
released to you for both of us to share the funds; 55% to me and 35 % to you, while 5% should be for expenses or tax as your government may require, the remaining 5% will be used for charity organizations such as the (motherless babies homes and others).
I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to backup the claim. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us achieve our aim.
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 through my e-mail to enable us discuss further. Thanks for your kind co-operation.
Yours faithfully,
Barr.Austin Duke.
