Attn:
I am OLU ADE, I am the personal accountant to Engr. Arthur
Lynn,a foriegn National who use to work with Shell
development Company in Nigeria. Herein after shall be
referred to as my client. On the 21st of April 2002, my
client, his wife and their three children were involved in
a car accident along Sagamu express road.
All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their
lives. Since then I have made several enquires to your
embassy to locate any of my client's extended
relatives,this has also proved unsuccessful. After these
several unsuccessful attempts to locate any member of his
family, hence I contacted you. I am contacting you to
assist in repatriating the money and property left behind
by my client before they get confiscated or declared
unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposit is
lodged. Particularly, the UNION TRUST BANK PLC, where the
deceased had an account valued at about 11.5 Million U.S
Dollars
The Bank has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin
or have the account confiscated within the next fourteen
official working days. Since I have been unsuccessful in
locating the relatives for 3 years now I seek your consent
to present you as the next of kin so that we can share the
money. 50% for me and 45% for you, while 5% will be used to
offset all the expenses incurred in the course of this
transaction including tax.
Therefore, if you are interested to execute this deal with
me, kindly forward to me your private telephone/fax numbers
to enable me submit them to the bank where my late client
deposited his money. I guarantee that this will be executed
under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from
any breach of the law.
Please get in touch with me via my PRIVATE
email:oluade_333_33@yahoo.co.uk
I anticipate your urgent response!
Best regard,
Olu Ade
