Dear Friend,
I am sorry for the embarrassment this mail might cause you, as we have not
met before. I am Barrister Kelvin Adam, a solicitor at law, I am the
personal attorney to Engineer Edward. A, qa national of your Country, who
used to work with Mobil oil Nigeria plc. Hereinafter shall be referred to as
my client.
On the 21st of April 2002, my client, his wife and their children were
involved in a car accident along Kano - Sokoto express Road while arriving
from Easter Holiday to Warri Delta State.
All occupant of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives, since then I
have made several enquiries to locate any of my clients extended relatives
this has been unsuccessful. I came across your name and contact, while I was
searching for Edward's relations, since my search did not yield the desired
result, I had to contact you for this project.
I am contacting you to assist in repatriating the money and properties left
behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by
the finance house where these funds were deposited.
Particularly, the finance house where the deceased has an account valued
$USD18 Million Dollars, last year issued me a 12 months notice to provide
the Next of Kin or have the fund consignment confiscated,and this altimatum
expires by next month.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over two years
now, I seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin of the deceased
since you have the same last name so that the proceed of this deposit valued
at $USD18 Million Dollars can be released to you and then you and I can
share the money, 50% for me 45% for you, and the remaining 5% will be for
expenses and tax. Please, find , picture of the funds as was taken by my
client before it was deposited at the bank, because he made the money in one
of the Oil deals he had with our
Oil Minister.
Also is the family picture of Engr. Edward. This is just to proof to you
that my proposal is genuine. I also have all necessary legal documents that
can be used to back up any claim we may make. All I require is your honest
co-operation to enable us see this business through. I guarantee that this
will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from
any breach of the law. Get in touch with me through my
emailaddress(kelvinadam12@myway.com) so that we can proceed.
Sincerely yours,
Barrister Kelvin Adam Esq.
