Dear Amarjit Singh ,
I came to know you through my search for a reliable, transparent and trustworthy person or partner to assist me execute a vital, private and confidential business transaction as stated below, therefore I am very glad I have found you.
I am Adewale Wilson, a solicitor at-law; I am the personal attorney to Mr. Morie Singh, who used to work as an Expatriate with OCEAN AND OIL LTD here in Nigeria. In summer 2002, my client and his wife were involved in an auto-crash while on a picnic-trip. Unfortunately, all occupants of the vehicle lost their lives.
Since then I have made several enquires to his embassy to locate any of my late client’s extended relatives and this has proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to contact you since you both bear the same surname.
I contacted you to assist in receiving and accommodating the money left behind by my late client before they get confiscated or declared it unserviceable by the bank where these huge deposits were lodged. My deceased client had an account balance with his bank valued at Twelve Million, Four Hundred Thousand United States Dollars (US$12,400,000.00), and I have been issued a notice as his attorney to provide his next of kin or have the account confiscated.
In view of the above, I now seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to my deceased client, so that the proceeds of his account of Twelve Million, Four Hundred Thousand United States Dollars (US$12,400,000.00) can be paid to you. You and I can then share the money in the ratio 60% for me and 40% for you.
If you are interested in this offer, kindly reply this only through my confidential and private E-MAIL or you can call me on my private line on 234 80 65378669. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this project through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate/risk-free arrangement that will protect you and me from any breach of the law.
I await your positive response. Please do not forget to include your private telephone numbers so that I can give you a call to discuss the matter and we can also get to know each other better.
Best regards,
Mr. Adewale Wilson.
