Greetings to you,
I am Barrister Martins Gabrail, I am the Personal Attorney to Morris Thompson
a National of your country, who used to work with Doyon Ltd and also a
partner to Agip Energy & Natural Resources here in Nigeria. On the 31st
of January 2000, my client, his wife (Mrs. Thelma Thompson) and their Daughter
(Miss. Sheryl Thompson) were involved in a plane crash (Alaska Airlines
Flight 261), which crashed into the Pacific Ocean, go through the websites
for more informations (http://archives.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/)
and
(http://www.nativefederation.org/history/people/mThompson.html).
Unfortunately they All lost their lives in the event of the crash, Since
then I have made several inquiries to your embassy to locate any of
myclients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After these
several attempts, I decided to trace his relatives over the
Internet to locate any member of his family but of no avail, hence I contacted
you.
I contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind
by my client before they get confiscated or declared
unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits were lodged here in Nigeria.
Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an account valued at about
$16.5 million U.S dollars (Sixteen million, five hundred thousand dollars).
Consequently, The bank issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or
have the account confiscated within the next ten official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessfully in locating the the relatives for over
4 years now. I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of
the deceased since you are a foreigner so that the proceedsof this accountvalued
at $16.5 million U.S dollars can be paid to you and then you
and me can share the money. 55% to me and 40% to you, while 5% should be
for expenses or tax as your government may require.
I have all necessary legal 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 through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Please get in touch with me by my email to enable us discuss further br_martins@myway.com,
Am in Nigeria presently and can be reached
through my phone numbers. Please note that this business is confidential
and risk free, we must keep it secret till the funds getts to your account.
