Dear Friend,
I am Barrister Mariam Noelle, a Solicitor and Advocate, the personal attorney to late Mr. Neil Frazer a National of France, who used to be a private contractor with the Shell Petroleum Development Company in Saudi Arabia, herein after shall be referred to as my client. On the 21st of April 2001, he and his wife with their three children were involved in an auto crash, all occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.
Since then, I have made several enquiries with his country's embassies to locate any of my clients extended relatives: This has proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to contact
you with this business partnership proposal. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating a huge amount of money left behind by my client
before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Finance/Security Company where this huge deposit was lodged. The deceased had a
deposit valued presently at $21million US Dollars and the Company has issued me a notice to provide his next of kin or Beneficiary by Will
otherwise have the account confiscated within the next thirty official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2
Years now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin / Will
Beneficiary to the deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued
at $21Million US dollars can be paid to you. This will be disbursed or shared in these percentages, 60% to me and 40% to you.
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,
Confidentiality and Trust to enable us see this transaction through.
I guarantee you that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Please, provide me the following:
1. Full Name
2. Your Telephone Number and Fax Number
3. Your Contact Address.
Your urgent response will be highly anticipated and appreciated.
