Dear Friend,
I am TONY ODIASE,a solicitor at law, I am the personal attorney to Mr. Randy
Behlendorf, a national of your Country, who used to work with OKOMU FOREST
RESERVE. Hereinafter shall be referred to as my client.
On the 1st of October 2004, my client lost his life after an attack by a
crocodile during the course of his duty and since this unfortunate incident,
I have made several enquiries to locate any of my clients extended relatives
but this has been unsuccessful.
I came across your name and contact, while I was searching for his relations
via the INTERNET, 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 left behind by my
client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the finance
house where these funds were deposited. The finance house where the deceased
has an account valued US$10.4 Million Dollars, this year issued me a six
months notice to provide the Next of Kin or have the funds confiscated, and
this ultimatum 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 US$10.4 Million Dollars can be released to you and then you and I can
share the money, 65% for me 30% for you, and the remaining 5% will be for
expenses and tax that may be incurred during the course of this transaction.
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. Please, note
that this business is risk free and my only worry is the safety of this
money once it gets into your account.
I believe that it is (GOD) who joined us together in view of this
transaction, and I also pray that (GOD) gives us the spirit of being honest
to ourselves for the success of this transaction. I wait for your urgent
response. Get in touch with me through my PRIVATE email address so that we
can proceed.
Sincerely yours,
TONY ODIASE
