Subject: Dear Wilhelmina
Dear Wilhelmina ,
I am Barrister Chanaka A. Willis, a solicitor at law. I am the personal
attorney to Mr. David Wilhelmina
native of your country, who used to work with Shell Oil Development 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 alongs agbama express
road. All occupants of the
vehicle unfortunately lost their 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 memberof his family hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and properties left
behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by
the bank where this huge deposit were lodged. Particularly, the
AssuranceBank Limited where the deceased had an account valued at about
US$10.5 Million has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have
the account confiscated within the six(6)weeks.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over Twenty
three (27) months now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin
of the deceased since you has the same surname with late David . By
presenting your names as the next of kin, the inheritance
will be transfer to your name as the sole beneficary and the proceeds of
this account valued at US$10.5 Million can be paid to your account. You and
I can share the(INHERITANCE) money 60% to me and 40% to you. I have all
necessary legal documents that can be used to backup any claim we may
make.Besides i'm the legal signatory to the account and it is the duty of
the chamber to give clearance to any person standing as the next of kin.My
involvment into the transaction makes the claim risk free and legitimate.
All I need from you is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal
through. I guarantee that this inheritance transaction will be executed
under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the
law. Please get in touch with me immediately as I do not have much time
in my disposal. Call me as soon as you get this email and reply to my
private email box :chanakawillis@zipmail.com.br
Best Regards,
Barr Chanaka A. Willis
