Subject: Greetings
Dear,
I am Barrister Edward Mupa , a national from Senegal (Solicitor). I am
the Personal Attorney to Mr. Mike
Bruce a national of your Country, who used to work with Chevron Oil
Company in, Nigeria. On the 21st of
April 2005, 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 there
lives. Since then 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 relatives over the Internet, to locate any
member of his family but of no avail, hence I contacted you as
supposed relative to enable both parties claim this fund for our own
use. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money left
behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared
unserviceable by the Finance House where this huge deposit werelodged.
Particularly, the Finance House where the deceased had
a valued of US$4 million dollars to be precisely has issued me a
notice to provide the next of kin or have
the account confiscated. 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 since you are from the
same country so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$4
million dollars can be paid to you and
then you and me can share the money. 25% to you and 70% for me, while
5% should be for incidental expenses
that government may required either in your country or mine. I will
process all necessary legal documents
that can be used to back up the claim. 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 by myemail to enable usdiscuss further and
details.

Best regards,
Barrister Edward Mupa.
