Subject: DEAR FRIEND, BE THE NEXT OF KIN
Jameschude & sons Chambers,
23 cadorso street,
Ikeja,Lagos,
Nigeria.
15th January 2006
Dear Friend,
I am Barrister James Chude, a Solicitor and the Personal Attorney to
Mr.Bill Richard,a national of your country, who used to work with shell
Development Company in Nigeria. On the 2nd of May 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 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 the Internet, so to locate any member of his family but to no
avail,hence I contacted you. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating
the money
that belong to my client before they get confiscated or declared as
unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposit were lodged.
Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an account valued at
about $10 Million Dollars, has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin
or
have the account confiscated within the next ten official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 3 years
now.
Therefore, I have decided to seek your consent to present you as
the"Next 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 $10 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% will be mapped out for any expenses
during
the process or Tax as your Government may require, I have the Certificaten
of deposit that can be used to back up any claim we may make. All I
require is your honest 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 get in touch with
me strictly via this email:(james_chude@hotmail.com)to enable us
discuss further.
Best regards,
Barr. James Chude
