dearfriend,
Compliments of the season. I am the personal attorney to Late Mr. John
mcdonald, who used to work with shell
Development
Company in Nigeria. On the 21st of April 1999, my client, his wife and
their
three Children were involved in a car accident along Cha-Cha Express
way.
All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.
My late client currently have the sum of Seventeen Million United
States
Dollars (US$17,000,000:00) cash in vaults under the care of a Security
Company out side Nigeria and I have in my possession, the Personal
Identification Numbers (PIN) Code for the claims.
The security company has recently issued me a notice to provide the
next of
kin to deceased to come forward and claim the fund or have the
$17,000,000:00 confiscated.
Since then I have made several enquiries at your embassy to locate any
of my
clients extended relatives but this has proved unsuccessful. I decided
conduct this search to locate any member of his family or an honest
person
who can stand in as the next of kin to the deceased and beneficiary to
this
fund hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist me in repatriating the money left behind
by
my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the
security company where these huge deposits were lodged, Since I have
been
unsuccessful in locating the relatives, I hereby seek your consent to
present you as the next of kin to the deceased.
so that the $17,000,000:00 can be paid to you as the next of kin
beneficiary.I am ready to give you 40% of the total money if you agree
to
this proposition.
As his attorney, I can position you legally as his next of kin and
beneficiary
without any flaw and also provide you with the necessary legal
documents to
back up any claim we may make to the satisfaction of the Security
company.
All I require is your honest co-operation to see us through this deal.I
guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement
that
will protect you from any breach of the law.
I am compelled to diversify this inheritance into investments of value
as an
anonymous investor under your supervision if only you will comply with
me.
If you are interested in assisting me, please send me an email so we
can
conclude on the modalities. Please reply back with all your contact
particulars such as your address,telephone and fax numbers so that I
will
get in touch with you.
Best regards
BARR VICTOR OKOYE [S.A.N]
