ATTENTION:
Dear VICTIMNAME,
It is obvious that this proposal will come to you as a suprise, this is
because we have not met before but i am inspired to sending you this e-mail
by the huge transfer opportunity that will be mutual benefit to two of
us,However, i am barrister OBI ITEMBA the personal attorney to late (Engr.
Steve Moore) a national of Isle of Man in UK, who used to work with Shell
Petroleum Development Company(SPDC) in Benin, on the 21st of April 2001.
my client, his wife and their three children were involved in a car accident
along togo/cotonou express road.
Unfortunately they all lost their lives in the event of the accident, since
then i have made several enquiries to 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.
i contacted you to assist in repartracting 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 unservice able by the bank
where this huge deposits were lodged, particularly the bank where the
deceased had account valued at $27 million U.S dollars(twenty seven million
U.S. American Dollars). conseqently, the bank issued me a notice to provide
the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next twenty
offical working days.
since i have been unsuccessfull 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 $27 million 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 us see this
deal though.the information i require from you is this;
