Mr. Lucas Okuie (esq.)
22 Bd. Clozel,
Residence les Acacias 20 BP 464
Abidjan, Ivory Coast
I am Mr. Lucas Okuie (esq.) a Solicitor and Personal lawyer to a client, a national of your country who has a servicing firm affiliated with the Electric Authority here in Abidjan Cote D' Ivoire. He was awarded a contract worth Twenty Three Million United States Dollars
(US$23,000,000..00).Immediately this contract was signed, an initial amount of Nine Million, Six Hundred Thousand United States Dollars US$9.600,000.00) was paid to him as mobilization fee to kick off the contract.
He duly completed this contract pending when his remaining balance of (US$13,400,000.00) will be paid to him. On the 21st April 2007, my client, his wife and their three children were involved in a ghastly motor accident along Badagry Express. Unfortunately, all the occupants in the vehicle lost
their lives. My client was a successful and an accomplished family man, who made enough fortune before his untimely death. Since then I had made several inquiries through your Embassy to locate any of my clients extended relative but this exercise has proved unsuccessful.
Not too long after his untimely death, his outstanding balance of US$13,400,000.00 was approved for payment, I decided to trace his relatives through the Internet, to locate any member of his family not much progress was recorded. Coincidentally, I came across your name and to my surprise; you
bear a similar surname with my client. By virtue of my closeness to the deceased and his immediate family, I am very much aware of my client related documents on which the contract was awarded and executed. I have reasoned very professionally and I feel it will be legally proper to present you as
the next of kin of my deceased client, so that you can be paid the remaining balance of his contract funds left in the bank, hence I contacted you.
I am offering you this opportunity by contacting you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Bank where these huge Deposits were lodged. The National Electric Authority issued me a notice as the Attorney
to the Deceased to provide the Next of Kin or have the Account confiscated within the Next Ten official working days since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 1 years that I have been searching, I seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin or family member to the
Deceased since you are at an advantage, bearing the same surname and equally from the same country, so that the proceeds of this remaining balance of his contract funds valued at $13.4 Million Dollars can be paid to you.
We shall both to share the funds, we will agree on the sharing ratio as we proceed, A certain amount will be for any incurred expenses and for donation to charitable organizations. I have all the necessary Legal Documents that will be used to back up any claim we may make. All I require is your
honest co-operation to enable us see this project through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you and me. Email me back to enable us discuss further.
Respectfully Yours.
Mr. Lucas Okuie (esq.)
