HIGH COURT REPRESENTATIVE
SUITE 101 ALLEN ROAD, APAPA
LAGOS - NIGERIA.
ATTN Sir/Madam,
It is obvious that this proposal will come to you as a suprise.This is
because we have not met before but I am inspired to sending you this email
by
the huge fund transfer opportunity that will be of mutual benefit to the
two of us.
However, I am barrister Alex Ukwans, Attorney to the late Engr.Steve
Moore a national of Isle of Man in UK, who used to work with Shell Petroleum
Development Company(SPDC) in Nigeria. On the 11th of November,1997.My
client,his
wife And their three children were involved in a car accident along
Sagamu/Lagos Express Road. Unfortunately they all lost their lives in the
event of
the accident, Since then I have made several enquiries to several 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 ofno
avail, hence I contacted you. I contacted you to assist in repartrating
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 an account valued at about $27 million U.S
dollars(twenty seven million U.S.America Dollars).Conseqently,The bank
issued me a
notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the
next ten official working days.
Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over
several years now.I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin
to the deceased,so that the proceeds of this account valued at
$27million U.S dollars can be paid to your account and then you and me can
share
the money. 55% to me and 40% to you,while 5% should be for expenses or tax
as your government may require.All I require is your honest cooperation to
enable us see this deal through and forward the following informations to me
1,Your Name
2,House Address
3,Your Phone/Fax Number
4,Your Age and Gender
5,Your occupation
I guarantee that this will be executed under a egitimate arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of the law.Please get in touch with my
private email address alexukwans005@myway.com to enable us discuss
further.
Yours Faithfully,
