Dear Cemil Boyoglu
My name is Barrister Raymond G. Obinna,a Solicitor at law and a personal attorney to Mr C.N.Boyoglu,a foreign National who was a contractor with Shell Petroleum Development company(SPDC) here in Nigeria.
On 22nd day of October 2005,a Bellview passenger Plane 210 crashed in Lisa Village in Ogun State killing all the 117 passengers on board. The plane was enroute Lagos to Abuja.Unfortunately,My client,his wife and their only daughter was on board the plane
As his personal attorney,i have made several enquiries to locate any of my Client's extended relatives and this has not been successful.After these several unsuccessful attempts,i thus decided to trace his last name via the internet to see if i could locate any member of his family hence i am contacting you.
As at the end of October 2005,the closing balance in the account was USD 19.7M(Nineteen Million,Seven Hundred Thousand US Dollars).
The Bank has officially contacted me asking me to contact and furnish them with the next of kin or have the said amount declared Dormant or declared unservicable.
Since you have the same last names and in order to avert this negative development,i seek your permission to have you stand as the next of kin so that the money will be released and remitted into your account or any other account you deem okay
All documents and proof relating to the fund will be carefully worked out and the necessary modalities furnished to you as soon as you accept the offer based on mutual relationship.
I have already secured from the PROBATE an order of Mandamus to locate any of the deceased beneficiaries and moreso,i am assuring you that this transaction is 100% risk free.
I have agreed to offer 40% of the total sum to you for your assistance,50% will be mine while the remaining 10% will be used for the expenses that will be incured during the transfer.
I ones again solicit your confidence in this transaction;this is by virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and a top secret also.
Please do not take undue advantage of the TRUST bestowed on you.
This is strickly between both of us.I am looking forward to hearing from you for further details.
Best regards.
Barr.Raymond C. Obinna
