Subject: Please get back to me ASAP
Hello,
I am Aramide Ajayi,(Head of Commercial Banking) with Assurance Bank Nigeria
and also the account officer in charge of a deceased client and close confidante(name
withheld)who might be a National of your country, who used to work with a
Multi-National oil firm in Nigeria. On April 21, 2001, my client, his wife,
and their three children were involved in a auto accident along Sagamu expressway.
All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.
Since then I have made several inquiries to your embassy to locate any of
my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After these
several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace 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 bank where this huge deposits were lodged. Now Assurance
Bank Nigeria where the deceased had an account valued at about ($17.6Million
US Dollars)has issued out a notice to provide the next of kin or have the
account confiscated within the next 45 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 ($17.6 Million US Dollars)can be paid to you and then you and I can share
the money,60% to me and 40% to you.All I require is your honest cooperation
to enable us see 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
by my email.
Best regards,
Aramide Ajayi
