Dear Janssen,
I am Barrister Norman Brooks an advocate and Solicitor.I am the Personal
Attorney to Mr. Frank Janssen a foreigner,who used to work with an oil
Company as an Engineer in Nigeria.On The 21st of April 2002, my client,his
wife and their three children were involved in a car accident along Festac
Express Road.All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.
Since then I have made several enquiries to his embassy to see if i can
locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has all the while proved
unsuccessful.After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace
his relatives (i.e.same surname) over the Internet,to locate any member of
his family but of no avail, hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money left behind by my
client before it is confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where
this huge deposit were lodged. Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had
an account valued at about Us$10.5 million dollars has issued me a notice to
provide the next of kin to the deceased or have the account confiscated
within the next twenty one 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 are
still a foreigner,so that the proceeds of this accounvaluedat $10.5million
USD can be paid to you and then you and me can share the money, 45% for me
and 45% for you,while 10% should be for 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 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.
Best regards,
Barrister Norman Brooks
Norman Brooks and Associates (Attorney at law)
17/18 Williams Street, SW,
