My client{ANDREA}deposited as family belongings in a CONSIGNMENT {ie
jewelries} the sum of $8.5m in a citi security and finance company here in
Nigeria for himself, with the hope of transferring it to his country as soon
as he is on leave. Since his death 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 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.
