Barrister Sylvester Obi.Sylvester Obi Chambers,Plot 1, Issa Ayorinde Street,Victoria - Island,Lagos, Nigeria.Hello.Before I start, I must first apologize for this unsolicited mail to you.I am aware that this is certainly anunconventional approach to establishing a relationship, but you will realize the reason for my action after going through this email.I am Barrister Sylvester Obi, a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney to Late Michael Troy.I got your impressive information after a Conscious search for a reliable and matured mind that has all it akes to execute this project. I was elated when I saw your address, and I picked a keen interest with confidence to solicit for your help in executing this opportunity.However, I was moved to contact you based on the present situation of this opportunity, which I may say, is a God given offer.There was a foreigner wholived here in NIGERIA some time ago; he is called Michael Troy by name,until his death.I was his Personal
Attorney, unfortunately Michael Troy died with his wife and their two kids in a Local Plane Crash at Kano State, which enroute from sokoto to Abuja (the capital city of Nigeria), all occupants in the Plane lost their lives, unfortunately on this same flight were other dignitaries like the former Nigeria Sports Minister and a host of others.The following websites could be referenced: Please go through the website.http://www.usafricaonline.com/ngrkanocrash.htmlhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/1968616.stmOwing to his death, his bank called on me for a meeting as regards his Account Balance with the bank, being his attorney till the time of his death, I was told to come up with any of his relatives to come and claim the money, I tried all I could to trace his family, but all my efforts proved abortive.Since January this year till date, the bank has been asking me to look for his family because they realize that a lot of people have been trying to claim the money as his
next of kin, but after verification, It is found out that those people are not really his next of kin, because they cannot provide any legal evidence to prove that they are his relative.Hence, I have decided to use you as his next of kin to claim the money as it happens that none of his relatives will ever appear to claim the funds, besides I have all his documented memo in my possession, which will back you up before the bank as his next of kin .I have the logistics to make your name to be that you are the rightful next of kin to the deceased and as well as the beneficiary of the funds. The amount involved is $US30 Million Dollars. As regards to that, I will like you to furnish me with the following information, which I will use to secure the legal documents.1). FULL NAMES2). COMPLETE CONTACT ADDRESS3). CONTACT PHONE NUMBER4). FAX NUMBER5). OCCUPATION6). AGE7). SexAs soon as I receive your information, I will forward an application for account closures to which you will
submit to the concerned bank as his next of kin. Be rest assured that, there is no risk involved as I have perfected and made the necessary arrangements to back you up in claiming the funds. I will want you to regard this deal as being highly confidential because this busines as a transaction demands a high level of secrecy as the bank does not know that I am involved in the deal.if interested in the transaction and to enable me feed you with more information, then do all you can to furnish me with all the needed informations stated above.Thanks for your anticipated co-operation as I await your reply.Regards,Barrister Sylvester Obi.
