Dear Friend,
I am Barrister Martin Jumbo(SAN), a solicitor at law. I am the personal
attorney to a national of your country, who used to work with CHEVRON OIL COMPANY.
Hereinafter, shall be referred to as my client. On the 15th of Dec. 2002, my
client, his wife and their two children were involved in a car accident along
warri express road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their
lives. Since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of my clients
extended relatives and this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several
unsuccessful attempts, to locate any member of his family to no avail, I am
therefore compelled to contacted you.
I am contacting you to assist in repatriating the money left behind by my
client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank
where this huge deposit were lodged. Particularly, the finance company where
the deceased had an account valued at about US$ 5.7 million dollars has issued
me a notice 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 3 years now
I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased so
that the proceeds of this account valued at US$ 5.7 million dollars can be paid
to you and then you and me can share the money. 60% to me and 40% to you.
All I require is your honest, cooperation to enable us see this deal through. I
guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will
protect you from any breach of the law.
Please get in touch with me by e-mail and send to me your telephone and fax
numbers to enable us discuss further about this transaction.
Best regards,
Martin Jumbo(ESQ).
