Dear 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 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 Niculas James ,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. On the 21st of
April 1996, my client,his wife And their three children were involved in
a
car accident along Sagamu/Lagos Express Road.
Unfortunately they all lost their lives in the event of the accident,
Since then 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 repartrating 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 this 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).Conseqently,The bank 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 unsuccesfull in locating the the relatives for over
several years now.I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin
ofthe deceased,so that the proceeds of this account valued at $27million
U.Sdollars 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.Your information such as below:
1.your full name
2.Resident Address
3.Telephone/Fax Numbers
Is required for immedaite commence of this transaction.
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
us see this deal through.I guarantee that this will be executed under
alegitimate arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of the law.Please get in touch wi
