Dear Friend,
I am Attorney Terry Wright,the Personal Attorney to a Foreign contractor, who worked with a Multinational Oil Firm in Scotland, United Kingdom. On Saturday, the 21st of April 2001, my client,his wife And their two children were involved in a car accident along Fulham Road by Old Church Street, London. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost there lives. Since then 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 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 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 about US$9 million dollars has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next twenty official working days. since I have been unsuccessful in locating the the relatives for over Four years 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 $9 million dollars can be paid to you and then you and I can share this money. 70% to me and 25% to you, while 5% should be for expenses or tax as your government may require, I have 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 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 via email as soon as you get this mail to enable us discuss on the modalities and process for success of this transaction. I also request for your private telephone number, fax number for easy and more confidential communication.
I await your kind response, Good day and God bless. Please you should get back to me for more clarifications on this matter.
Thank you and best regards,
Attorney Terry Wright {Esq}
