Dear Friend,
It is obvious that this proposal will come to you as a suprise, this
is because we have not met before but i am inspired to sending you
this e-mail by the huge transfer opportunity that will be mutual
benefit to two of us,However, i am barrister Obiadu Eze the
personal attorney to late Engr. Steve Moore a national of Isle
of Man in UK, who used to work with Shell Petroleum Development
Company(SPDC) in Benin, on the 2st of April 1996. my client,
his wife and their three children were involved in a car acciden
t along Benin/cotonou express road.
Unfortunately they all lost their lives in the event of the accident,
since then i have made several enquiries to Embassies to locate any of
my clients extended relatives, 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.
i contacted you to assist in repartracting the money and property left
behind by my client, i can easily convince the bank with my legal
practice that you are the only surviving relation of my client,
otherwise the Estate he left behind will be confiscated or declared
unservice able by the bank where this huge deposits were lodged,
particularly the bank where the deceased had account valued at
$6.5 million U.S dollars(Six five million U.S American Dollars).
conseqently, the bank issued me a notice to provide the next of
kin or have the account confiscated within the next twenty
offical working days.
since i have been unsuccessfull in locating the relatives for over
several years now, i seek your consent to present you as the next of
kin of the deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at $6.5 million U.S dollars can be paid to your account and then you and me
can share the money. 55% to me and 40% to you, while 5% should be forexpenses or tax as your government may require. i have all necessarylegal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make,all i require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this
deal though.the information i require from you is this; Please contact me through this E-mail:barristerobiadu@myway.com
