BUSSINESS ASSISTANCE NEEDED
Dear Friend,
I am Barraster Steve J. Osagie, a legal practitioner, I am the personal
attorney to a national of your country who used to work with Consolidated
Oil limited. On the 21st of April 2003, my client, his wife and their three
children were involved in a car accident on an express Way. All occupants
of the vehicle unfortunately lost there 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 decided to track his last name over the
internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you. 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
affiliate Finance House where this huge deposits were lodged particularly,
the Finance house where the deceased had an account valued at about US$16.5million
dollars has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account
confisicated within the next ten 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 of the deceased
since you have the same last name so that the proceeds of this account valued
at US$16.5 million dollars can be paid to you and then you and me can share
the money. 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 to enable
us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Please get
in touch with me by my private email above to enable us discuss further.
In conclusion, before this can be make possible, we shall need to prepare
the necessary documentation on your name and address, therefore if this
proposal is favorably dispose to you do show your submission as regard this
my mail by sending to me:
Your full name and address:
Your telephone and fax number:
