Dear Friend,
I am sorry for the embarrassment this mail might cause you, as we
have not met before. I am Barrister Chisom, a solicitor at law, I am
the personal attorney to Engineer Doris. A, qa national of your
Country, who used to work with Mobil oil Nigeria plc. Hereinafter
shall be referred to as my client.
On the 21st of April 2007, my client, his wife and their children
were involved in a car accident along Lagos - Apapa Express Road
while arriving from Easter Holiday to Warri Delta State.
All occupant of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives, since
then I have made several enquiries to locate any of my clients
extended relatives this has been unsuccessful. I came across your
name andcontact, while I was searching for Doris's relations, since
my search did not yield the desired result, I had to contact you for
this project.
I am contacting
you to assist in repatriating the money and
properties left behind by my client before they get confiscated or
declared unserviceable by the finance house where these funds were
deposited. Particularly, the finance house where the deceased has an
account valued $USD18 Million Dollars, last year issued me a 12
months notice to provide the Next of Kin or have the fund consignment
confiscated,and this altimatum expires by next month.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over
two years now, I seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin
of the deceased since you have the same last name so that the proceed
of this deposit valued at $USD18 Million Dollars can be released to
you and then you and I can share the money, 50% for me 45% for you,
and the remaining 5% will be for expenses and tax. Please, find ,
picture of the funds as was taken by my client before it was
deposited at the bank, because he made the money in one of the Oil
deals he had with our
Oil Minister.
Also is the family picture of Engr. Doris. This is just to proof to
you that my proposal is genuine. I also have all necessary legal
documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make. All I
require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this business
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Get in
touch with me through my emailaddress(barrchisom1@yahoo.com [1]) so
that we can proceed.
Sincerely Yours,
Barrister Chi Som
