Subject: URGENT RESPONSE NEEDED AS NEXT OF KIN,Arie
BARRISTER CAGE COLE
COLE AND ASSOCIATE CHAMBERS
ANTHONY VILLAGE V/ISLAND,
LAGOS,NIGERIA
Dear Arie,
Greetings with good faith. I am Barrister Cage Cole, a solicitor at law. I
am the personal attorney to Mr. Michael Arie, a national of your country,
who used to work with Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) in
Nigeria.Here in after shall be referred to as my client.
On the 27th of January 2002, my client, his wife and their three children
were involved in Ikeja bomb blast here in my country. My client and his
family unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have made several
enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives but
all to no avail. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to
track his last name over the Internet, to locate any member of his family
hence I contacted you.
I have contacted 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 these huge deposits were lodged. Particularly, the finance
company where the deceased had an account valued at about USD$20.95 million
dollars has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the
account confiscated within the next few weeks.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over two years
now. I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased
since you have the same last name so that the proceeds of this account
valued at USD20.95 million dollars can be paid to you and then you and me
can share the money in the following ration: 60% to me and 35% to you, and
also 5% for any expenses that may be incurred during the process of this
transaction, telephone bills. I have all necessary legal documents that can
be used to back up any claim we may make.
To be honest with you, I have worked out the modalities of this transaction.
All I require is your sincere cooperation to enable us seeing this deal
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Please if you are interested to work with me with good faith and honesty,
get in touch with me by my email and send to me your telephone and fax
numbers to enable us discuss further on this transaction, and also your
banking details and address where this fund will be released into. I would
prefer a virgin account for this transfer. I hope to hear further response
from you regards the successful conclusion of this great success. God bless
you.
Best regards,
Barrister Cage Cole.
