Dear Sir,
I am making this contact to you based on trust and confidence irrespective
of the fact that we have not met before and because of the nature of the
transaction that I am about to introduce. I want to remain positive having
the faith,while and convincing myself that you will be capable of doing
business with me.
I am an Accountant with CITIZEN BANK PLC, My name is Emmanuel Kodjo, an
accountant. I am the personal Account Manager to Engr. Renold Dylan. A
contract was awarded to our client, late Mr Renold Thomas who is a foreigner
who used to work with an Oil company in Nigeria, here in after shall be
referred to as my client On April 21, 2002, my client, his wife! , and their
only child were involved in a car accident along Abuja express. All
occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have
made several inquiries to their embassy to locate any of my clients
extended relatives, this is also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his name over
the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you. I
have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left
behind by my client before they Get confiscated or declared unserviceable by
the bank where this huge deposits were lodged, particularly the CITIZEN BANK
PLC. Where the deceased had an account Valued at about ($45.5 million US
dollars). The board of Directors of our bank has Issued me a notice to
provide his next of kin or have his account confiscated within the next ten
official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 4 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 ($45.5 million us dollars)
can be paid to you and then you and I can share the money, 50% to me and 50%
to you. An attorney will be contacted to help revalidate and notarize all
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 this deal
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you and I from any breach of the law.
Please get in touch with me if you are capable of handling this project via
my private email address. But kindly delete if you are not interested.
Best Regards,
