Lagos Nigeria.
Top of the day i wish you.
Dear Leder ,
I quite know my mail will surprise you and make you think otherwise for the
fact that we haven't known each other before. However, as you read down my
mail, you will understand that contacting you is not by accident rather it
is handwork of God Almighty.
I am Barrister Brown J (Esq), Personal Attorney to Engr.Michael Killian,
national of your country, who used to work with Chevron Petroleum Company
Plc Nigeria.
On the 25Th of July 2000, my client, his wife and their three children were
involved in a Air France concord plane crash bound for New York with his
family, you can read more on the link website
below:http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm
Unfortunately they all lost their lives in the event of the crash, since
then I have made several inquiries 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.I
contacted you to assist in repatriating the money in addition, property left
behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by
the Bank Where this huge deposits were lodged.
Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an account valued at US$10
Million Dollars.
Consequently, the Bank issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have
the Account confiscated by the bank/Government of Nigeria within the next 30
official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the the relatives For over 5
years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the
deceased since you are bearing the same sure Name with my client, So that
the proceeds of this Account valued at US$10 Million dollars can be paid to
you and then you and we share the money in ratio of 50% to me and 40% to
you, while 10% should be for expenses or taxes your Government may require.
I have all the necessary legal documents that can be used toback up any
claim we may make.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law. Please your urgent respond is
needed to this matter, as I will advice you contact me to discuss further.
Best Regards,
Barr Brown J [ESQ]
