Dear Friend,
I am Divine Adams, a 54 year old attorney, a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney to Mr. Smith Wilson, a national of your country , who used to work with Chrome Oil services company in Nigeria Here in after shall be referred to as my client.
On the 21st of April 2003, my client, his wife and their three children were involved in a car accident along durbana express road.
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 bank where this huge deposits were lodged.
Particularly, the city trust finance company where the deceased had an account valued at about USD12 million dollars has 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 about 2 years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at USD12 million dollars can be paid to you and then you and me can share the money. 70% to me and 25% for you, while 5% is set aside for expenses that will be incurred by both parties.
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: to enable us discuss further.
Best regards,
DIVINE ADAMS CONTACT ME IN MY PRIVATE EMAIL:divineuc@hotmail.com
