Subject: NEXT OF KIN PROPOSAL N/P,
NEXT OF KIN PROPOSAL N/P, I am Barrister,David Ololo,a client of mine,a National of America, who used to work with Mobil Oil Ltd and also a contractor to Agip Energy & Natural Resources here in Nigeria. On the 31st of January 2000, my client and his wife were involved in a plane crash (Alaska Airlines Flight 261), which crashed into the Pacific Ocean. Unfortunately they 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 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 contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposit were lodged here in Nigeria. Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an account valued at about $16.5 million U.S dollars (Sixteen million, five hundred thousand dollars). Consequently, The bank 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 unsuccessfully in locating the relatives for over 6 years now. I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you are a foreigner so that the proceeds of this account valued at $16.5 million U.S dollars can be paid to you and then you and me can share the money, 55% to me and 40% to you, while 5% should be for expenses or tax as your government may require. I will incur all 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 seeing 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, Am in Nigeria presently and can be reached through my phone numbers. Please note that this business is confidential and risk free, we must keep it secret till the funds gets to your account. Yours Faithfully, Barrister David OloloDERICT TELE NUMBER ++234 -703-043-6600email:davidololo5@yahoo.com.hk
