Dear Friend,
I am Barrister Anthony Stivens Esq, a
solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney to Mr.Tom Abraham,a
national of your country, who is a Sole Contractor to Chevron Oil
Producing Company.Here in after shall be referred to as my client,On the
25th of Decembar 2003, my client,on the single reason of visiting his
inlaws.His wife{A LEBANESE} and their only daughter were involved in a
Plane crash on their way home for the holidays and were among the 111
people confirmed dead. Since then I have made several inquiries to your
embassy here to locate any of my client\'s extended relatives, this has
also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I
decided to track over the Internet to locate any member of his family or
relative hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist in
repatriating the fund valued at US$20.7 MILLION (TWENTY MILLION SEVEN
HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS) Left behind by my client before
it get Confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Finance Firm where
this huge amount was deposited.
The said Finance Company has issued me
a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated in
the next six months.
For the fact that I have been unsuccessful in
locating the relatives since then I seek your consent to present you as
the next of kin to the deceased,so that the proceeds of this account can
be paid to you.Therefore, on receipt of your positive response, your
share should be 40% and the remaining 60% will be coming to me after the
money is been creditted in your chosen account. I can assist in
procuring the necessary information and legal documents that may be
needed to actualise this proposal.All I require from you is your honest
cooperation to enable us see this transaction through.
I guarantee that
this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you
from any breach of the law.
