I am Mr. Ali Mustafa, a Lawyer by profession. I am the personal attorney to Mr. Renee, a foreign national who worked for the Chevron Texaco Ltd UK, herein after shall be referred to as my client. On the 21st of April 2003, my client, his wife and their three children were involved in a Bus accident and died. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost there life’s. Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives.
This has proved unsuccessful.
I came to know about you through the internet and I found out that you have the same last name with my client, which is why I have decided to contact you, in order to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by my client before they got confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank, Particularly, the Finance Company (Intercontinental Bank. Plc Nigeria) where the deceased had an account valued at about US$9.8 Million Dollars, has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next 21 official working days.
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 have the same last name so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$9.8 Million Dollars can be paid to you and we can share the money, on the ratio of 70% for me, and 30% for you. I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make. 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 get in touch with me by my private email at (ali_m01233@yahoo.co.uk ) and send to me your telephone and fax numbers to enable us discuss further about this transaction in details.
Best regards,
Mr. Ali Mustafa (Esq.)
