Dear Sir,
It is indeed my pleasure to write this letter to you which I believe will be a surprise to you as we have not met before. I am deeply sorry if I have in any way disturbed your privacy and please forgive this unusual manner of contacting you; but this particular letter is exceptional and of very private nature. There is absolutely going to be a great doubt and distrust in your heart in respect of this email because of the fact that so many individuals have taken advantage of Internet to perpetuate their nefarious activities, thereby making it extremely difficult for genuine and legitimate business class persons to get attention and recognition. There is no way for me to know whether I will be properly understood, but it is my duty to write and reach out to you.
I am Barrister. Harrison Akubundu, Attorney/Financial Consultant to late Engr. Roland Morgan, an American and an Oil Services contractor based here in Nigeria. On the 21st day of April 2001, my client, late ENGR. ROLAND MORGAN, his wife and their two Children were involved in a car accident in a remote village called Effurum, along Warri Express Way in Delta State of Nigeria and all occupants of the car Unfortunately lost their lives.
I have been managing his investments here in Nigeria and on his instruction before his untimely death, I liquidated those investments into cash and deposited the proceeds into his Investment Account with Oceanic Bank International Plc. My client was a successful and an accomplished family man who made enough fortune before his untimely death. He left behind US$25.7 Million (Twenty Five Million, Seven Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) in his investment account with Oceanic Bank International Plc and upon his death; Oceanic Bank International Plc contacted me as his financial consultant and attorney to provide them with a next of kin since the person he provided to them died with him in the Car accident leaving a vacuum to be filled.
I tried to locate his next of kin on my own but had no headway. Despairing at the point of exhaustiveness, I contacted the American consulate here in Nigeria to locate any member of ENGR. ROLAND MORGAN'S family or even to locate his extended relatives without success Hence my mail to you because of the urgency of the situation presently. Two weeks ago, the bank adopted a resolution and I was mandated to provide his next of kin for the payment of this fund within 28 working days or forfeit the money to the bank as abandoned by the owner with no trace of next of kin. The bankers had planned to invoke the abandoned property decree of 1968 as amended in 2004 to confiscate the funds and convert it to the Treasury for Dept Conversion Programme of the Federal Republic of Nigeria after the expiration of the period given to me.
By virtue of my closeness to the deceased and his immediate family, I am very much aware of my client financial standing. I have reasoned very professionally and I feel it will be legally proper to present you as the next of kin to my deceased client so that you can be paid the funds left in his bank account for our mutual benefit.
I therefore, hereby seek your consent to present you to the Bank as the Next of Kin to the Deceased since you are qualified as a FOREIGNER like my client so that the full proceed of his Bank Account valued at $25.7 Million Dollars can be paid to you. I have all the required information and shall assemble all the necessary Legal Documents as required by Nigeria Inheritance Laws that will be used to back up our claim so all I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate and legal arrangement that will protect you and I from any breach of the law. Trust me as his personal Attorney/Financial Consultant that this is a risk-free transaction. kindly get back to me as a matter of urgency so that we will discuss more on his issue. Also do not fail to furnish me with your direct phone and fax numbers for easier communication.
Do remember that a business of such high magnitude will come to success only if it will be kept secret and confidential.
Best regards,
Harrison Akubundu Esq
