Dear Friend,
I am Barrister Richard Tosin, I am the Personal Attorney to Engr.Micheal Lee
national of your country, who used to work with Chevron Company in Nigeria.
On the 21st of March 2004, my client, his wife and their three children were
involved in a car accident Along Sagamu/Lagos Express Road. Unfortunately
they all lost their lives in the event of the accident, since then I have
made several enquiries to your embassy 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,hence
I contacted you. I contacted you to assist in repatriating the money in
addition, property left behind by my client before they get confiscated or
declared unserviceable by the Bank where this huge deposits were lodged.
Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an account valued at about
US$10 Million Dollars. Consequently, the Bank issued me a notice to provide
the next of kin or have the Account the next ten official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the the relatives For over two
years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the
deceased since you are from the same country,so that the proceeds of this
account valued at US$10 Million Dollars can be paid to you and then you and
I can share the money. 60% to me and 30% to you, while 10% should be for
expenses or taxes your Government may require. I have all the necessary
legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make.
All I require from you is your Telephone and Fax Number; these will be used
to obtain an Application of Claim from the Bank. Your honest cooperation
will be needed 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 your urgent response is needed to this matter,
as I will advice you contact me by my private email address:
barr_richtosin@myway.com to discuss further.
Best Regards,
Barrister Richard Tosin[ESQ]
