Subject: YOUR COOPERATION IS NEEDED.
ATTN: Sir/ Madam
I am barrister Benson Ugbona a solicitor at law.I am the personal attorney
to Mr. Mark Webb, a national of your country, who until his death was an
employee with Chevron Oil Exploration Company in Nigeria.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 Sagbama 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,Commercial Bank of Africa where the deceased
had an account valued at over $7million 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 $7million dollars can bbe
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. For confidential reasons contact
me via my email address :
bensonugbona@yahoo.ie
Best regards,
Benson Ugbona Esq.
