Subject: Dear Friend( Urgent Reply )
Dear Friend,
I really regret any embarrassment this mail might cause you, as we've never by any chance met before, I want you to patiently read this offer and I wish to Believe God that you are a trustworthy and Honest person hence I Will be highly delighted If we can work together.
I am Anderson Ben Esq, a solicitor at law.(Senior Advocate of Nigeria[SAN]) I was the personal attorney to late Mr.Pitt , a national of your country, who worked with Shell Petroleum Development Company in Nigeria as an Engineering expert Here in after shall be referred to as my client. On the 21st of April 2003, my client, his wife and their only daughter were involved in a car accident along Sagbama express road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost there lives. Since the last two years, I have made several enquiries to your embassy here to locate any of my late clients extended relatives, this has also been proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track a similar of this rare last name over the Internet on the bid to locate any member of his family, hence I contacted you. And I just pray that this will be the end of this age long search, I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the fund valued at US$18..5 million le!
ft behind
by my client before it gets confiscated or declared unserviceable by the SKEY BANK NIGERIA PLC, where this huge amount were deposited. The said BANK has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next TWENTY EIGHT official banking days.
For the fact that I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over two years now, I seek the consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased, since you have the same last name with my late client and I have other required documents, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you and hence put to a more judicious use instead of the bank taking it.
Therefore, on receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss the sharing ratio and modalities for transfer. I have all necessary information and legal documents needed to back you up for claim. All I require from you is your honest and sincere 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.
Heart felt regards
Barrister Anderson Ben
