Dear Sir,
I am writing to you in strict Confidence and I know that my letter,
will come to you as a great Surprise,owing to the fact that we have never met before.
I am barrister Sule Ahmed,a solicitor at law.I am the personal attorney to Mr. Mark Harper, a national of your country, who until his death was an employee with Chevron Oil Exploration Company in dubai.( united arabe emrate)Here in after shall be referred to as my client.On the 21st of April 1999, my client, his wife and their three Children were involved in a car accident along jumaira express-road.
All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives,this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts,
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 here where the huge deposits were lodged.
Particularly,national Bank of dubai where the deceased had an account valued at over $15,000.000.00, 200,000 (fiftheen millon,two hundred thousand US) dollars) has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within 14 official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating their 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 over $15,000.000.00, 200,000 (fiftheen millon,two hundred thousand Us dollars) can be officially and promptly paid to you and then you and me can share the money.45% to you and 50%to me, while 5% will take care of incidental expenses which shall be incurred in the cause of this transaction.
I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may to stand make.All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing this deal through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you
must apply first to the bank, and send your account number, your private telephone
and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where the money
will be remitted.
The advantages of you having the same surname with Him will indeed
enable us collect this fund deposited in the national bank here in dubai.
