Dear Sir/Madam
Greetings with good faith. I am Barrister Richards Clark, a
solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney to Mr. Mack
(CEO) a national of your country,who used to work with Shell
Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) in Nigeria.Here in
after shall be referred to as my client.
On the 27th of January 2002, my client, his wife and their
three children were involved in Ikeja bomb blast here in my
country. My client and his family unfortunately lost their
lives. Since then I have made several enquiries to your
embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives but
all to no avail. After these several unsuccessful attempts,
I decided to track his last 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
these huge deposits were lodged. Particularly, the finance
company where the deceased had an account valued at about
USD$20.95 million dollars has issued me a notice to provide
the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the
next few weeks.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for
over two years now. I seek your consent to present you as
the next of kin of the deceased since you have the same last
name so that the proceeds of this account valued at USD20.95
million dollars can be paid to you and then you and me can
share the money in the following ration: 60% to me and 40%
to you. I have all necessary legal documents that can be
used to back up any claim we may make.
To be honest with you, I have worked out the modalities of
this transaction. All I require is your sincere cooperation
to enable us seeing 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 if you are interested to work with me with good faith
and honesty, All you have to do is to send me Your company
name and address if any, Your telephone and fax numbers
which I will use to process and procure all the legal
papers/documents that backs you up as the true next of kin
to my client and I will submit it to the Finance house for
proper Claim of the fund. I hope to hear further response
from you regards the successful conclusion of this great
success. God bless you.
