Dear Friend,
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
I crave your indulgence as I contact you in such a surprising manner and I want you to bear in mind that this is not a hoax mail but I respectfully insist you read this mail carefully as I am optimistic it will open door for unimaginable financial reward for both of us.I am Dr. HYGINUS IDOWU, the personal account manager to late Engr:Kevin Mate, a national of your country, who works with shell development Oil Company here in Nigeria.
On the 21st of October 2003, my client, his wife and their only child were involved in a ghastly auto accident along Ajar Express Road, unfortunately, all occupants of the vehicle lost their lives including their car driver, Since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of my client's extended relatives and this has been unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track any name over the Internet to locate any member of his family or any close name to his,and also any person who can assist me in getting this fund out from my Bank before the bank get this fund confiscated. hence I am contacting you to assist in repatriating the money my client left behind before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by STALLION TRUST BANK OF NIG.PLC. Where this huge amount US$18.5million dollars were lodged. The bank has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin/Relative or have the account confiscated within the next 14 banking days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives of my client for over 3 years now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of Kin/Relative of the deceased since you have the same last name so that this US$18.5million dollars can be transferred into your account and then you and I will share this fund according to any agreed ratio.30% for you,60% for me while 10% for any expenses that was made during the transaction.
All I require is your honest co-operation and confidentiality to enable us see this deal through, I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. CONTACT ME THROUGH THIS EMAIL: HYGINUS_IDOWU@YAHOO.CO.UK IMMEDIATELY YOU READ THIS MAIL.
Thanks and God Bless.
Best Regard’s
DR.HYGINUS IDOWU.
