Dear Sir,
I am Mr Jude Isiaka an accountant. I am the personal accountant to Mr.
hadley rick , a national of your country,who used to work with Shell Petroleum
Development Company (SPDC) here in Nigeria, herein shall be refered as my
client. On the 21st of April 2000, my client, his wife and their three children
were involved in a ghastly auto accident along Sagbama Express Road, and
fortunately, all Occupants of the vehicle lost their lives. Since then I
have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my client's
extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several
unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his last name over the Internet,
to locate any member of his family or any close name to his, hence I contacted
you. I am contacting you to assist in repatrating the money and property
left behind by my client before they get confisicated or declared Unserviceable
by the bank where this huge deposits were lodged. The deceased had his account
valued at about US$10.5 million dollars. The bank has issued me a notice
to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next
twentyone official working days. Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating
the the relatives for over( 2 ).years now, I seek your consent to present
you as the next of kin of the deceased since you have the same last name
so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$10.5 million dollars can
be paid to you and then you and I can share the money according to any agreed
ratio. All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement
that will protect you and I from any breach of the law. Also very important,
your responce should go strictly via my private email address above for
security purpose.( Private00120032003@yahoo.com)
Thanks and God bless you.
Best regard,
Jude Isiaka
