Subject: HELP ME PLEASE.
Dear,
I am Barrister Kenneth Nkwocha a solicitor at law. On the 12st of April 2002, my client, his wife and their three children were involved in a car accident
along Sagbamu express road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.Since then I have made several inquiries to locate any
of my clients extended relatives but this has proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to contact 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 Union Bank of Nigeria Plc. where the deceased had an account valued at about US$13million dollars. I have been issued a notice by the bank to provide the next of kin to my late client or have the account confiscated after three years if not claimed and We have just one year left. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 1 year now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased
since you are a foreigner so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$13 million dollars can be paid to you and then you and me can share the money. 65% shall be for me and 30% for you while 5% is earmarked for expenses that will be incurred during the process of transfer of the fund. 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 a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Please get in touch with me through my private e-mail:bar_kennkwo17@indiatimes.com or bar_nkwoken@yahoo.com to enable us discuss further.
You may also, send your phone number so that I can call you.
I look forward to your urgent response.
Best regards,
Kenneth Nkwocha.
