Dear Ong
I the Personal Attorney to Mr.Williams Ong, who is a national of your
country,and work with shell development company port-harcourt. On 21st of
October 2002, my Client, his wife and four children were involved in a car
accident along the Ibadan Express Way. All occupants of the
Vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.
Since then I have made several efforts to locate any of my clients extended
relatives, this has proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful
attempts, I decided to trace his relatives through an International chambers
of commerce directory here in Nigeria by a friend advice, to locate any
member of his family to assist in repatriating the money and property left
behind by my client before they get on fiscated or declared unserviceable by
the security company, where this huge deposits/lodged.
Particularly, Security Company where the deceased had a deposit value of $
29 million dollars. The company as issued me a notice to provide the next of
kin that will come and claim this fund in any of their payment centers in
Europe or have it confiscated within the next three official working months.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 13 months
now I seek your consent to present you as the next of Kin of my deceased
client to enable us take over the proceeds of this deposit value at $29
million dollars be paid to you in person in Europe and then you and I will
share the money. do not know if you are in anyway related to him as your
names are similar to his,even if you are not in anyway related to him, I
want to know if you
will be interested to do the business with me.
If you are interested in this proposal, I will want us to have a meeting to
enable us agree on the modalities to do the business and the sharing ratio
and the method to carry out the operation. Above all the meeting will afford
us the opportunity to know ourselves and to know the roles to be played by
any of us! . I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back
up this claim we are making.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing this deal
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law.You have to assure
me of your honesty and sincerity that you will not sit on the fund when it
is finally claimed to enable us forge ahead immediately, you have to keep
this business very secret/confidential.
Please get in touch with me through the above telephone number or
alternativly e-mail address: j_udo46@yahoo.fr to enable us discuss further.
Best regards.
Barrister. John G. Udo
