Hello Dear Friend,
Compliments of the Season, I am Mr. Johnson Paul,a senior accountant with
above mentioned bank ,One of our client who bears the same surename with
you, and also a national of your Country who used to work with an Oil
servicing Company here in London United Kingdom, On the 2nd of August 2003,
our client, his wife and their three children were involved in a car
accident along Manchester Express Road. All occupants of the vehicle
unfortunately lost their lives.
Since then I have made several enquiries to your Embassy to locate any of my
client's 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, hence I
contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist me in repatriating the money left behind by
my late client before they got confiscated or declared unserviceable by the
Finance House where these huge deposits were lodged. Particularly, the
Finance House where the deceased had an account valued at about US$22M has
issued me a notice to provide the next-of-kin or have the account
confiscated within the next ten official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over nine (9)
months now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the
deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$22M can be paid
to you and then you and I can share the money, 60% to me and 40% for
you....I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any
claim we may make, all I require is your honest co-operation to enable us
see this transaction 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 secured and confidential email address
immediately you acknowledge the good receipt of this message, do not forget
to send me your direct telephone number, so that I can put a call through to
you for an extensive discussion on this deal.
Anticipating your prompt response.
Yours Sincerely,
Mr. Johnson Paul
Senior Accountant.
