Subject: FOR YOU
Dear Friend,
I am Barrister Ahmed Alic Solicitor. I am the Personal Attorney to Mr. Tracy E. Snowman, a national of your country, who used to work with shell Development Company in Nigeria. On the 22nd of May 2002, my client his wife and their only son were involved in a car accident along Benin Asaba High way and 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 trace his relatives over to your embassy to locate any member of his family but of no avail, but I was given a booklet and your name was the only contact that has email address hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money that belongs to my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where these huge deposits were lodged.
Particularly, the Bank where the deceased (My late client) had an account valued at about $9million dollars has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next ten officials’ working days.
Since i have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 3 years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you are from the same country and bear the same last name, so that the proceeds of this account valued at $9 million dollars can be paid to you and then you and me can share the money. 55% to me and 40% to you, while 5% should be for expenses or tax as your government may require, I have the certificate of deposit that can be used to back up any claim we may make. But this transaction is capital intensive, but any expenses each party will incurred in this transaction must be deducted to the last digit before we embark into the agreed sharing ratio.
We have to obtain/secured legal documents from the court and we have to pay for the stamp duty fee and notarization fee before the affidavit and probate order will be issued in your favor.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this dealt 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 by my email to enable us discuss further.
Best regards,
Esq: Ahmed Alic.
