RE:LETTER OF ASSISTANCE/PARTNERSHIP
DEAR SIR/MADAM
Kindly accept my apology for sending unsolicited mail to you. I believe
you are a highly respected personality, considering the fact that I
sourced yourprofile from a human resource profile database on your
country.
I am BARRISTER OKOH FRANK Solicitor. I am the Personal Attorney to MR STEVE
ANDERSON a national of your country, who used to work with Shell Development
Company in Nigeria. On the 21 of April 2004, my client, his wife and their
two children were involved in a car accident along Sagamu Express way in a
Peugeot 504 with the Registration Number LA9657CK, All occupants of the
vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.
Since then 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
relatives over the Internet, to locate any member of his family but of
no avail, hence I contacted you. I have contacted you to assist in
repatriating the money that belong to my late client before they get
confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where these huge
deposits
were lodged,
Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an account valued at
about US$15million (FIFTEEN MILLION UNITED STATE DOLLARS) and right now the
bank has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin to my late client or
have the account confiscated within the next seven official working days.
Since i have been unsuccessful in locating the right
relatives for over 3 years now I seek your consent to present you as
the next of kin of the deceased since i can not get the rightful
beneficiary,
so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$15 million (FIFTEN
MILLION UNITED STATE DOLLARS) can be paid to you and then you and me can
share the money at this ratio 55% to me and 40% to you, while 5%
should be for expenses or tax as your government may require, I have the
certificate of deposit 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 from any breach of the law.
Please reply through this email:barrister_okohfrank222@yahoo.com.hk
Thanks for your understanding as i wait your reply.
Best Regards,
BARRISTER OKOH FRANK,
PRINCIPAL ATTORNEY
