Dear Jason Alec
I am Attorney Chikezie John Nnamdi, a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney to your late Eger Jason Alec , who used to work with Shell-development Company in Nigeria.Hereinafter shall be referred to as my client. On the 21st of April 1999, my client, his wife and their three children were involved in a car accident along sagamu express road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.Since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of my clients extended relatives and this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, to locate any member of his family to no avail,I am therefore compelled to contact you.I am contacting you to assist in repatriating the money left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposit were lodged.
Particularly, the finance company where the deceased had an account valued at about US$20million dollars has 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 unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 3 years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at us$20million dollars can be paid to you and then you and me can share the money. 60% to me and 40% to you.
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 e-mail and send to me your telephone and fax numbers to enable us discuss further about this transaction.Alternative reply at Best regards,Attorney esq
