Subject: VOLUNTARY URGENCY
Dear friend,
Am Barr.Brian, a solicitor at law. I am the personal
attorney to Mr.Nokia, a national of your country, who used to
work with shell development company in Nigeria and as well a one time
secret agent in transfering of money overseas for the Late head of state of
Nigeria {Late Gen. Sani Abacha}. Before his death On the 21st of April
2002 {my client, his wife and their three children were involved in a
car accident along Badagry Express Road in which all occupants of the
motor died}.My client deposited as family belongings in a CONSIGNMENT
{i.e jewelries} the sum of $26 Million in a citi security and finance
company here in Nigeria and from there to citi royal exchange abroad for
himself, with the hope of transferring it to his country as soon as he is
on leave.Since his death 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 last name, to locate any member of his family hence I
contacted you. I have contacted you to assist in repartrating this
consignment which is money left behind by my client before they getconfisicated
or declared unknown by the security company where this huge deposits
were lodged.The Citi security bank where the deceased had deposited this
consignment has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have
the consignment confisicated within the next ten official working
days.Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the the relatives for over 1
year now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the
deceased since you have the same last name so that the proceeds of this
deposit valued at $26 million dollars can be handed over to you and
then you and me with my two collegues can share the money. 60% to us and
40% to you.I
will manipulate the 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 that this deal went through. I guarantee
that this will be executed under a legitimate time arrangement that will
protect you from any breach of the law.Please get in touch with me by
my email to enable us discuss further.
Best Regards
Barr.Brian,
