Subject: NEXT OF KIN
Dear Friend
I was privileged to capture your names from the
Internet.My name is Barrister. OKWUDILI EZE, a legal
practitioner and the personal Attorney to late Mr.
David , a national of your country who perished
in a plane crash of 31 october 1999 (with Egyptian
Airline1990) with other passengers aboard as you can
confirm it your self through this website.
http://www.cnn.com/US/9911/02/egyptair990.list/index.html
I am convinced that it was the grace of God that made me to
locate you. my client was a successful and am accomplished
family man, who made enough fortune before his untimely
death. Since then I had made several inquiries through your
Embassy to locate any of my clients extended relative but
this exercise has proved unsuccessful. After several
unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives
through the Internet, to locate any member of his family
not much progress was recorded. My late client was an
influential wealthy businessman, an oil magnet here in
Nigeria and he left behind a deposit of Twelve Million, Two
Hundred Thousand United States
Dollars only ($12,200,000.00usd) in his domiciliary
bank account in a commercial bank here in Lagos. After
the death of my client his bankers contacted me, as
his Attorney to provide his next of kin who should
inherit his fortune. The board of directors of his
bank adopted a resolution and I was mandated to
provide his next of kin for the payment of this money
within 28 working days or forfeit the money to the
bank as an abandoned property.
The bankers had planned to invoke the adandoned property
decree of 1996 to confiscate the funds after the expiration
of the period given to me. Despairing at the point of
exhaustiveness, fortunately, I came across your name, to my
utmost amazement,I discovered that you bear the same
surname with my late client and coincidentally, you are
nationals of the same country. Convinced that you may be
linked with my late client or that you might provide clue
to my search, I therefore,decided to contact with these
facts before me because of the similarities . By virtue of
my closeness to the deceased and his immediate family, I am
very much aware of my client financial standing and the
bank account he operates. I have reasoned very
professionally and I feel it will be legally proper to
present you as the next of kin of my deceased
client,so that you can be paid the funds left in his
bank account, hence I contacted you. I seek your
consent to present you as the Next of Kin to the
Deceased since you are at an advantage, bearing the
same surname and equally from the same country, so
that the proceeds of this Bank Account valued at $12.2
Million Dollars can be paid to you. we shall both
share the funds. 60% to me and 35% to you, while 5%
should be for Expenses or Tax as your Government may
require, I shall assemble all the necessary Legal
Documents that will be used to back up our claim . 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 law. Please get in
touch with me by email to enable us discuss further.
