Hello Friend,
I am doris akao,the personal accountant to Engr. Arthur, a
foriegn
National who use to work with Shell development Company in Nigeria.
Herein,i want to refer to my client. On the 21st of April 2002, my
client, his wife and their three children were involved in a car
accident
along Sagamu express road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately
lost
their lives. Since then I have made several enquires to your embassy to
locate any of my client's extended relatives,this has also proved
unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts to locate any
member
of his family, hence I contacted you.
I am contacting 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 deposit is lodged. Particularly, the Eco
Bank
Plc, where the deceased had an account valued at about 11.5 Million U.S
Dollars The Bank has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or
have
the account confiscated within the next fourteen official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for 3 years
now I
seek your consent to present you as the next of kin so that we can
share the
money. 65% for me and 30% for you, while 5% will be used to offset all
the
expenses incurred in the course of this transaction including tax.
Therefore, if you are interested to execute this deal with me, kindly
forward to me your private telephone/fax numbers to enable me submit
them to
the bank where my late client deposited his money. 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 via my PRIVATE email:
dorisakao@yahoo.com
I anticipate your urgent response!
Best regards,
doris akao
