Subject: I NEED YOUR REPLY
Dear Esteemed One,
I want to use this medium to crave your indulgence,but before i commence i will like to introduce myself.I am Barrister Sanni Ibrahim,a solicitor and attorney at law. I am the personal Attorney to Late Mr.Brian Pont, a national of your country,who worked with an Oil Services and Exploration Company in Nigeria here.My client Died In Auto crash On Sat 4th of May 2002 with his wife and their two children.
My Late client Deposited the sum of $470.million he had wanted to transfer this fund to his country as soon as he is on leave but his hope was cut down because he died before carrying out his wishes.
As his personal Attorney,Since his death I have made several enquiries to locate any of my client's extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts to locate his Next Of Kin, I decided to surf the Internet Web, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money
left behind by my client before his fund get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Bank where this fund was Deposited by him.Presently, where he deposited this fund has issued me a notice to provide the Next Of Kin of my late client or have the account confiscated within the next ten official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 3 years now, I seek your consent to present you as the Next Of Kin to my late deceased client, so that the proceeding of this account valued at $470.million dollars can be paid to you and then you and me can share the money. 70% to me and 30% to you.
Together we shall secure all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we make. All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this transaction through and to claim the fund deposited by my late client rather than allowing the local bank to hold On to the fund illegaly.
I guarantee that this will be carried out under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any legal indictment.Please if you are interested to assist me urgently send to me your full name,your contact address ,your telephone numbers and a secure Bank Particulars where you will like the fund to be transferred into.
All this information will be needed to certify the documents for the transfer in your name and a text of the application which will be submitted to the Bank directly in your name as the Next Of Kin For the transfer of the fund in your favour.
Please urgently send to me your response if you are interested to assist me via my private email address:(williams_law45@yahoo.com) I am expecting to hear from you urgently.
Regards,
Barrister Sanni Ibrahim.
