Dear Friend,
I am Barrister Oghene Ochuko the Personal Attorney to a Foreign Contractor
who worked with a Multinational Oil Firm in Nigeria.
On the 21st of April 2001, 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 your Embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives,
this has also proved abortive.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives
over the Internet, to locate any member of his family but of no avail, hence
I contacted you. I have contacted you to assist me in repartrating the money
left behind by my client before they got confisicated or declared unserviceable
by the Bank here this huge deposits were lodged. Particularly, the Bank
where the deceased had an account valued at US15 million dollars has issued
me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confisicated
within the next twenthy official working days. since I have been unsuccesfull
in locating the the relatives for over 4 years now.
I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased so
that the proceeds of this account valued at US15 million dollars can be
paid to you and then you and I can share this money. 70% to me and 25% to
you,while 5% should be for expenses or tax as your government may require,I
have all necessary legal documents that can be used to backup 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 via my email address as soon as you get this
mail to enable us discuss on the modalities and process for success of this
transaction.I also request for your private telephone number, fax number
for easy and more confidential communication.
I await your kind response, Good day and God bless.
