Dear sir/madam.
Please kindly accept my apology for sending unsolicited mail to you. I
believe you are a highly respected personality, considering the fact
that I sourced your profile from a human resource profile database on
your country. Though, I do not know to what extent you are familiar
with events.
Well, I am Barrister Cliff Ben, a Solicitor. I am the Personal
Attorney to Mr Steve, who used to work with Agip Oil Company in
Nigeria. On the 21st of April 2003, his wife and their three children
were involved in a car accident along Abuja 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 client's 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 to no avail, hence, I
contacted you to assist in repatriating the money left behind by my
client in Acess Bank of Nigeria plc. Particularly, in the Acess Bank
where the deceased deposited the US$16. Million
Consequently, this Acess Bank issued me a notice to provide the Next of
Kin to claim the US$16.4 Million in their custody within the next ten
official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the
relatives for over 2 years now, I seek your consent to present you as
the next of kin of the deceased to claim the fund as the Next of Kin to
him so that the fund will be transferred to your account by the Acess
Bank.
Upon receipt of the fund, I will come over to your country to meet with
you for the disbursement of the fund and then you and I will share the
money in this order: 70% will be for me, 30% will be for you. I have all
the necessary legal documents that can back our claim we will make with
the Acess Bank.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us seeing this deal
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Best regards.
Barrister Cliff Ben.
Principal Attorney
