Dear: Bess,
Good-Morning to you.
Please forgive my impetus as I am pressed by the situation at hand to have
contacted you thus;
I am Barrister Felix Osagie ,a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney
to Mr Mark Bess,a National of your country, who used to work with shell
development company in Nigeria and as well a one time secret agent in
transfering of money overseas for the Late head of state of Nigeria {Late
Gen.SANI ABACHA}.Before his death On the 21st of April 1999 my client, his
wife And their three children were involved in a car accident along sagbama
express road in which all occupants of the motor died}.My client{Mark Bess}
deposited as family belongings in Finance Company the sum of $7m in here in
Nigeria for himself, with the hope of transferring it to his country as soon
as he is on leave. Since his death 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 last name
over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist in repartrating the money and property left
behind by my client before they get confisicated or declared unserviceable
by the Bank where the deposite was made. Now the Finance Company has issued
me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the MONEY confisicated within
the next ten official working days.Since i have been unsuccesfull in
locating the relatives for over 2 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 proceeds of this deposit ( 7million
dollars) be SENT to you and then you and I can share the money. 50% to me,
40% to you and 10% for every expenses that will be incured.please you are
free to give your own opinion on this sharing modality if you so wish.
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 through my alternative email address:
(barristerfelixfirm@yahoo.co.uk) for further details.
Iam ready to give you every needed information you might need to confirm the
legality and the availability of this mentioned sum in the Finance
Company.God bless you and your family.
Best regards,
Barrister Felix Osagie
