Dear Friend,
I am Barr.Dave sambo (SAN) Personal Attorney to Engineer Mark David a
national of your country, who used to work with Hitech Construction
Company here in Nigeria.Also she happen to be my client before his
sudden death
My client with his entire family (The wife and three Children) were
involved in the explosion in Lagos, Nigeria, on January 27, 2002 which,
claim many lives and property. Unfortunately, my client and the family
lost their lives in that disaster that needed not to have
happened.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 unsuccessful attempts,I decided to track his last name
over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted
you.
My purpose of contacting you is to assist in repatriating the money and
property left behind by my client prior to his death before they get
confiscated or declared serviceableness by the company where this huge
deposits were lodged in, where the deceased had an account valued at
about US$14.6 Million dollars.
The company had issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have
the account confiscated within the next 14 official working days. Since
I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over one year
now I seek your consent as the next of kin of the deceased since you
are from the same Country, so that the proceeds of this account valued
at
US$14.6 Million dollars can be paid to you.
I have all the necessary official and legal documents that can be used
to back up your claim. All I require is your honest co-operation to
enable me as the legal attorney to the deceased in seeing that you
receive your inheritance fund. I guarantee that this will be executed
legitimately to protect you from any breach of the law.
Provide me with the following information as follows;
1) Full Name
2) Contact Address (P.O Box not accepted )
3)Phone Number/Fax
4) Occupation
