Nigeria.
Dearest,
I am Barrister Karl Frank Nede a Solicitor; I am the Personal Attorney to
Late Mr. Morris Thompson an American who unfortunately lost his life in the
plane crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261 which crashed on January 31 2000,
including his wife and only daughter. You shall read more about the crash
on visiting this site. http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/
and http://www.nativefederation.org/ history/people/mThompson.html Unfortunately
they all lost their lives in the event of the accident, since then I have
made several inquiries to locate any of my client's extended relatives, this
has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts,
I decided to trace his relatives over the Internet, to locate any member
of His family but of no avail, hence I contacted you. I contacted you to
assist in repatriating the money in addition, property left behind by my
client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank
where this huge deposit was lodged. Particularly, Crystal Bank Limited where
the deceased had an account valued at aboutUS$9.5million dollars.
Consequently, the bank issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have
the account confiscated within the next ten official working days. Since
I have been Unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 4years now, I
seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since
you are a foreigner, regardless of your country, with your name address,
some vitals documents will be obtained on your favor which will back you
as the next of kin to my client. The proceeds of this account valued at US$9.5
Million dollars will be paid to you and then you and I can share the money.
55% to me and 40% to you, while 5% should before expenses or tax as your
government may require.
I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim
we may 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. Please get
in touch with me through this email address to enable us discuss further.
Best regards,
Barrister Karl Frank Nede (esq)
