Subject: *US$9.MILLION TRANSFER*
Dear Friend,
I am Barrister Nelson Donell , the Personal Attorney to a Foreign
Contractor,
who worked with a Multinational Oil Firm in Nigeria.On the 11th of
September 2001,
my client, a Mexican National, late Engineer Carlos Montoya, an oil
Merchant
Contractor with the Federal Government of Nigeria, until his death
some years ago in a ghastly terrorist attack to American Airlines Flight
11,
from Boston, Massachusetts, to Los Angeles,California, crashed into the
North
Tower of the World Trade Centre with 86 people on board. All occupants of
the
Aeroplane unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have made several
inquiries
to Several Embassies to locate any of my clients 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, I have contacted you to assist me in repatriating the money
left
behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable
by
the Bank where this huge deposits were lodged. Particularly,
The Bank where the deceased had an account valued at about US$9.Million
has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account
confiscated within the next twenty official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives
for some years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to
the
deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$9.Million
can be paid to you and then you and I can share this money. 70% to me
and 25% to you,while 5% should be for expenses or tax as your Government
may
require. All I require is your honest and 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 branch of the law. Please get in touch with
me
via email as soon as you get this mail to enable us discuss on the
modalities and process for success of this transaction.
I will equally want you to send the following information
to enable me move ahead for the transfer in your name.
1, Your Full Name
2, Your contact address
3. Your private fax and telephone number.
4, The name and address of bank you wish we will use to receive the fund
successfully.
5, The account information for urgent transfer.
Do reply to my private email. (nelsondonell1977@voila.fr)I await your kind
response, Good day and God bless.
Regards,
Barrister Nelson Donell.
