Good day to you,

I am the personal attorney to late Engineer Rudwig a foreign contractor who used to work with Chevron oil Exploration Company. I am contacting you with respect to inherit a portfolio amounting to the tune of Seven Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollar deposited by my late client Engineer Rudwig.
On the 18th of October 2002, Engineer Rudwig deposited USD5, 000, 000 USD (Five Million United States Dollar) with a local bank here under a portfolio management department for four years and the deposit matured on the 18th of October 2006 with over 50% growth which amounted to a total of USD7,500,000 (Seven Million, Five Hundred United States Dollar).
Engineer Rudwig was involve in the plane crash that occurred on 23rd of October 2005 without stating his next of kin because he deposited the funds at a point when he was finalizing a divorce with his wife, he had no child coupled with the fact that he was an orphan, this funds has since mature and the roll-over on the funds has also expired.

This sum of USD 7,500,000 (Seven Million, Five Hundred United States Dollar) is still in the possession of his Bank lifeless and unnoticed because there will never be a claim on the funds and all material documents including certificates relating to the funds is still in my possession.
According to the banking law and guidelines here in this country which stipulates that at the expiration of six (6) years such funds will be revert to the ownership of the Government for financing military operations, such as purchasing of arms and ammunitions for Nigeria military forces.

Since, it is not compulsory that the next-of-kin/relation must be a blood relation to the deceased. This money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 60% for me and 35% for you as gratification for assistance rendered and the balance of 5% will be responsible for the major /trivial expenses incurred if any during the course of the transfer. Thereafter, I will visit your country for sharing according to the percentage indicated here as soon as his bank transfers the money into your bank account.
I am assuring you that there is no legal risk as all the paper work for this project will be done by me since I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may present before his bank here.

Upon your response, I shall then provide you with further information's and modalities that will help you understand the process we are going to adopt so that we will convince the bank beyond reasonable doubt that you are indeed the next of kin to their late customer. Please you should observe utmost confidentiality about this deal, and be rest assured that this project would be most profitable and will transform our live for the better.
