Subject: SEEKING YOUR ASSISTANCE
Dear ,
I am BARRISTER PETER UBA, a Solicitor and also
the Personal Attorney to Late Mr. EDWARD ANDERSON , a
national of your country, who used to work with
shell development company in Nigeria.
On the 21st of April 1999, my client, his wife and
their three children were involved in a car accident
along Sagbama Express Road in the Niger Delta Region, that claims the
lives of all occupants of the vehicle.
It was a very sad news and Since then I have made
several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my
clients extended relatives which proves 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 have contacted you on trust to assist me in receiving the money left
behind by my client before the bank he has an account with get money
confisicated or declared his money as unclaimed fund
following the bank policy and that of the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF
NIGERIA.Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an
account valued at about Ten million us dollars ($10,000,000.00)
has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin of my client or
have the account confisicated within the next
one month official working days.
Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the the
relatives for over 2 years now I seek your consent to
present you as the next of kin of the deceased proceeds valued at TEN
MLLION US DOLLARS ($10,000,000.00) can be
paid to you as his next of kin for our mutual benefit.
The sharing percentage is as follows if only you will
be faithfull and honest to assist me, 65% for your
assistance as next of kin, 30% to me and remaning 5%
should be for expenses or tax as your government
may require. All necessary legal documents that will
back up your claim of this money will be secured by
an attorney on your behalf.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable
us see this deal through. I guarantee you that this
business 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 steps to follow as the money has been transfered to a
bank in Holland as the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT threatened to confiscate it
do to none complaince with the policy of banking. Please for
confidential reason forward your reply to my private
email account :barr_petuba002@yahoo.com
