Dear Maynard,
Regarding John
With due esteem respect please I beg your pardon for this unsolicited nature, it was out of desperation and Curiosity that made me to contact you. to introduce myself .
I am Mr Jacques Blaise Boko, . I am the personal accountant to Mr John, a national of your country, who used to work with Capresa -Calibrados de Precision SA{CCDP}a Steel Company here in Spain, herein shall be referred as my customer.
On the 11th of March 2004 at about 0639 Gmt, my customer, his wife{Lady Juliet and their two children {Rose and Dan } were involved in a ghastly Train Bomb blast along Atocha Train Center here in Madrid,that got 191 people killed, and 1,800 injured, unfortunately, him and his family were victims that lost thier lives.You can view this page for more information
{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_11%2C_2004_Madrid_attacks}
Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my customer, 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 or any close name to his, hence I contacted you. I am contacting you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by my client before they get liquidated or declares it unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits were lodged, particularly the Banco Sol De Credito (BSD-Credito), where the deceased had his account valued precisely to be USD$1,546,810.00 (One Million five hundred and fourty six thousand eight hundred and ten dollars).
The bank has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account liquidated within the next twenty one official working days.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a national of same country to stand in as the next of kin , so that the fruits of this old man's labour will not get into the hands of some group of corrupt government officials who will get rid of the money and share it for their
own selfish interest and greed.
Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over 10 months now, I seek your prompt consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you have the same last name so that the proceeds of this account valued at USD$1,546 ,810.00M can be paid to you and then you and I can share the money according to any agreed ratio.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Looking forward to your swift reply.
Truly yours,
Mr. Jacques Blaise Boko.
