Subject: Hello !
Dear friend,
I am barristerSayed Karimu. A solicitor at law. I am
the personal attorney to Mr. Andrea Otten. a national
of your country, who used to work with shell
development company in Nigeria and as well as, a one time
secret agent in transfering of money overseas for the
late head of state of Nigeria , Late Gen.Sani
Abacha .Before his death On the 21st of April 2002
my client, his wife and their three children were
involved in a car accident along sagbama express road
in which all occupants of the motor died.
My client, Mr. Andrea deposited his family belongings in a
Consignment, containing jewelries,and the sum of $8.5m in the Citi
Security and Finance Company here in Nigeria for
himself, with the hope of transferring it to his
country. Since his death, I have made several enquiries toyour
embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives this has also
proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided
to trace hislast name over the Internet, to locate any member of
his family hence I contacted you.I contacted you to
assist in repartrating the money and property left
behind by my client before they get confisicated or
declared unserviceable by the Finance Company where
this huge deposits were lodged.
particularly, the Citi Trust Finance Company, where the
deceased had an account valued at about 8.5million
dollars has issued me a notice to provide the next of
kin or have the account confisicated within the next
ten official working days. Since I have been
unsuccesfull in locating the the relatives for over 2
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 8.5million dollars can be paid to you and then you
and me can share the money. 60% to me and 30% to you
and 10% any expenses which may be incurred in the
course of this transaction. I have all the necessary
legal documents 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 get in
touch with me by my email to enable us discuss
further and also forward your private telephone and
fax number for the transmition of the required
documents.
Best regards.
Barrister Sayed Karimu.
