ATTN: GOOD FRIEND
I crave your indulgience for the unsolicited nature of this letter, but
it was borne out of desperation and current development. Please bear with
me.
I am Barrister JAJA JOHN solicitor at law. I was the Personal attorney
to Mr. Adams Abraham, a national of your country, who used own an oil
servicing company in Nigeria. Herein after shall be referred to as my client.
On the 28 of December, 2003,my client, his wife and their three Children
were involved in a planecrash in benin replublic,cotonou. All occupants
of
the aircraft unfortunately lost their lives. I know that my client had
no living kin but i went ahead and made several inquiries to your embassy
to locate any of my clients extended relatives but this has proved
unsuccessful. I only did so to be double sure of this fact. After these
several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track a good fellow over
the Internet, hence I contacted you.I have contacted 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 this huge deposits were lodged,
particularly the Bank in Nigeria where the deceased had an account valued
at about 25.7 million Usd dollars. This account will be confiscated after
four years if not claimed and We have just about one month.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 1
years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the
deceased since you are capable, so that the proceeds of this account valued
at 25.7million Usd dollars can be paid to you and then you and me can share
themoney.
55% shall be for you and 40% for me while 5% is earmarked for expenses
that will be incurred during the process of Transfer of the fund. I 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
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 my e-mail to enable us discuss further.
You may also send your phone number so that I can call you. I look
forward to your urgent response.
Best regards,
BARR.JAJA JOHN
