Subject: URGENTLY HELP
Good Day,
Dear My Friend
It is obvious that this proposal will come to you as a surprise, this is
because we have not met before but i am inspired to sending you this e-mail
by the huge transfer opportunity that will be mutual benefit to two of us,
However, i am barrister michael collins the personal attorney to late Engr.
Steve Moore a national of uniet state of ameriacan, who used to work with
Shell Petroleum Development
Company (S.P.D.C) in united kingdom here in london
on the 2ND of April 1996. My client, his wife and their three children were
involved in a car accident along Benin/Cotonou express road.
Unfortunately they all lost their lives in the event of the accident, since
then i have made several enquiries to Embassies 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. i contacted you to
assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by my client, i
can easily convince the bank with my legal practice that you are the only
surviving relation of my client, otherwise the Estate he left behind will be
confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits
were lodged,particularly the bank where the deceased had account valued at
(20 million U.k pounds).Consequently, the bank issued me a notice to provide
the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next twenty
official working days.
Since i have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over several
years now, i seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the
deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at( 20 million U.k
pounds can be paid to your account and then you and I can share the money.
55% to me and 40% 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 back up any claim we may make,
all i require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal though.
Remember to include your private telephone/ fax numbers for effective
communication and your international passport or drivers licence for proper
identification.contact
