FROM: BARR.ROBERT BAZIL (ESQ.)
PRINCIPAL ATTORNEY ROBERT& ASSOCIATES
LEGAL PRACTITIONERS,
OFFICE ADDRESS,#6 AWOLOWO WAY IKOYI WEST,
VICTORIA ISLAND,LAGOS-NIGERIA.
Dear friend,
It is with trust and belief that I write to you this day as my confidence is reposed in you to assist me in executing this urgent business opportunity for our mutual benefits.
I am Barrister Robert Basil (Esq.) a New Zealand national and an Attorney based here in Lagos-Nigeria. I had a client named Mr.Mark , a national of USA.He used to work as a Director with Mekon Group of Companies here in Nigeria. On the 2nd of August 2004, my client, his wife and their three children were involved in a car accident along Ekpe Express way, Lagos- Nigeria. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.
Since then I have made several enquiries in his Embassy to locate any of my client's extended relatives. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives over the internet in order to locate any member of his family but that was to no avail, hence I contacted you as his supposed relative since you bear the same last name with him. Please, I want you to assist me in repatriating the money left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Zenith Int. Bank Nigeria Plc here in Nigeria where these huge deposits were lodged.
He had an account valued at about US$8.5M (Eight Million, Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars)and now the bank has issued me a notice to provide the next-of-kin or have the account freezes within the next 14 official working days.
Since, I have succeeded in locating you today as his relative, hence, I hereby seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased, so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$8.5M can be paid to you and then you and I can share the money, 60% to me and 40% to you. To present you as the next of kin will pose no difficulty as there is no risk involved.
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 business proposal to you is 100% real and will be executed under a legitimate arrangement without any problem at all.
Please get in touch with me via my email immediately you receive this message so that I will give you further details.
Remember to include your private phone or mobile cell number with which I can equally reach you. Anticipating your prompt response.
Yours Sincerely,
Barr.Robert Bazil (Esq)
Principal attorney,ROBERT & ASSOCIATES
