FROM OLA WILLAIM CHAMBER & ASSOCIATE
Lion Building,Suite 52,
Saka Tinubu, Lagos Nigeria.
private Email:barristerola3@yahoo.comDear ,
I am Barr.ola personal attorney to Mr.Engr.Biker, a
national of your country, who used to work with Zenon
Oil Company here in Nigeria herein after, shall be
referred to as my client. My client with his entire
family (The wife and Children) were involved in the
explosion in Lagos,Nigeria, on January 27, 2002 which,
claimed many lives and property. Unfortunately, my
client and the family lost their lives in that
disaster that needed not to have happened.
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. My purpose of contacting you is to
assist in repatriating the money and property left
behind by my client prior to his death before they get
confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank
where this huge deposits were lodged and where the
deceased had an account valued at about US$14.5
Million dollars. The guidelines of the bank stipulates
that if any deposit remained unclaimed for over a
period of 7 years and few months, without the fund
claimed, the said deposit will be confiscated and this
will happen with some couple of official working
months if nobody comes for the money. The company had
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 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/surname so that the
proceeds of this account valued at US$14.5 million
dollars can be paid to you and then you and me can
share the money. 50% for me and 45% to you,while 5%
will be set asside for rembursement of incidental
expenses that may incure during the process of the
transaction or tax as your government may require, I
will secure certificate of eposit and other relevant
approvals 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 legitimately to
protect you from any breach of the law.Please get in
touch with me by email to enable us discuss
further.Please contact me through my alternative
private.{mailbox::barristerola3@yahoo.com }
