LAGOS - NIGERIA.
ATTN: Friend,
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 send you this
Email for the huge fund transfer opportunity that will be of mutual benefit
to the two of us.
However, I am John Orji the personal Attorney to the late
Engr.Steve Moore a national of Isle of Man in UK, who used to work with
Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) in Nigeria.However, On the
21st of April 2000, my client, his wife and their three children were
involved in a car accident along Shagamu/Lagos Express Road.
Unfortunately they all lost their lives in the process of the
accident, since then I have made several Enquiries in 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 on the Internet to locate any member of his family but to no
avail, hence I contacted you.
I contacted you to assist me 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 ordeclared
unserviceable by the bank where these huge deposits were lodged.
Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an account valued at
About $507 million U.S dollars (Fifty Seven million U.S.America Dollars).
Consequently, The bank issued me a notice to provide the next of kin
to my client or have the account confiscated within the next ten official
working days. Since 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 $507million US 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 require on this transaction..
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see 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 on my email to enable us discuss further,
I will like you to send to me on your return email with the following
Information for the transfer of the fund in your favor.

each other.
