It is obvious that this proposal will come to you as a surprise. This is
because we have not met before but I am inspired to sending you this email
by the huge fund transfer opportunity that will be of mutual benefit to the
two of us.
However, I am Barrister Chiyem Ego Bulter, the personal Attorney to late
Eng. Steve Moore a national of Isle of Man in UK, who used to work with
Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) in Nigeria. My client and his
family had a plane crash acciden, my client lost his life in the year 2002
and later the wife and three children died they could not Survive.
I have made several enquiries to several Embassies 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 the
Internet to locate any member of his family but of no avail, hence I
contacted you.
I contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind
by my client; I can easily convince the bank with my legal practice that you
are the only surviving relation of my client. Otherwise the Estate he left
behind will be confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where these
huge deposits were lodged.
Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an account valued at about
$27million U.S dollars (twenty seven million U.S .America dollars)
Consequently The Bank issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have
the account confiscated within the next ten official working days.
I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over several Years
now. I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased,
so that the proceeds of this account valued at $27million U.S dollars can be
paid to your account 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 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 use this
deal through.
I guarantee you that this will be executed under 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 and Please get back to me with the
following informations….
Your Full Name …….
Your Contact Address….
Your Private Phone Number……..
Your Fax Number…….
I will be expecting to hear from you soonest.
Thanks
With Love
Yours Faithfully,
Barrister Chiyem Ego Bulter (Esq)
