Subject: ATTN LANGE.
Dear LANGE,
Compliments of the day,
I am Barrister Milton Joe the solicitor/notary public of the supreme court
of
Nigeria and also a personal attorney to late Mr Roy LANGE, a national of
your
country,who used to work with Shell Petroleum development Company here in
Nigeria after he referred as my client. On the 21st day of April 2002, my
client,
his wife and their three children were involved in a ghastly motor accident
along
Warri-Sagbama Express road In Bayelsa State, Niger Delta Region of the
eastern part of Nigeria.unfortunately,all occupants of the vehicle lost
their lives
in a Hospital as a Result of Severe Injuries Sustained During The
Unfortunate
Crash, as the vehicle Had a Head on Collission with an on coming Truck.Since
then I have made several inquiries to the foreign embassy to locate any of
my
clients extended relatives abroad but this idea has proved unsuccessful to
me.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his last name
over
the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you.
My purpose of contacting you is to assist in repatriating the money left
behind
by my client prior to his death before they get confiscated or declared
unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits were lodged particularly
in
the(U.B.Aplc)UNITED BANK FOR AFRICAPlc,here in Nigeria here the deceased
had an account valued at about US$7.5Million dollars. The bank had issued me
a
notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within
the
next twenty official working days.Since I have been unsuccessful in locating
the
relatives for over 2 years now I seek your humble permission to present you
as
the next of kin to the deceased since you have the same last name so that
the
proceeds of this account valued at US$7.5 million dollars can be paid to you
.I
have all the necessary official and legal paper works that can be used to
back up
in any step we take regarding this process.
All I require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us in seeing
this deal
through.For your most cherished assistance you shall be entitled to 35% of
the
total sum while 5% will be mapped out to cover all the sundry expenses that
will
be involved in carrying out this transaction, 5% have also been mapped out
for
donations to charitable organisations and this will be donated anonymously
by
us. 50% for me and my collegues.I guarantee that this will be executing
under
legitimate arrangement that will protect us from any breach to the law.i'm
assuring you, this money transaction is 100% risk free all i need from you
is
your honest assistance to enable us see this through.
Your urgent response will be hihgly appreciated.
Best regards,
Barrister Milton Joe (esq).
