Dear Friend,
Naturally, this letter will come to you as a surprise,since
we have not met,permit me however.I am Barr. IBRAHIM
GALADIMA (SAN). I am the Personal Attorney to ENGR T. Goodwin, A
national of United State of America, who used to work with shell/oil
development company in Nigeria as the chief Engineer. My client with
his entire family (The wife and Children) were involved in the
explosion in Lagos,Nigeria, on January 27, 2002 which, claim many lives and
property.
Unfortunately,my client and the family lost their lives in that
disaster that needed not to have happened. Since then I have made
several enquiries to thier 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 to locate any member
of his family but of no avail, hence I contacted you to assist in repatriating
the money that belong to my client before they get confiscated or
unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits were lodged. The Bank where the late
decease had an account valued at about US$15.2 Million dollars has
issued me a notice today 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 2 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 US$15.2Million 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, As soon as you
indicate your interest by sending below informations:
1. Your full name and address
2. Your telephone and fax number
3. Your Age and Occupation
Base on this opportunity, Upon receiving the above details
from you, I will work out every document/proof representing you as the
deceased BONA-FIDE distant relative and when this is done, you will
be contacted by the bank for the release and collection of the fund,
which will be within two week of our receiving the above details from
you. I will meet with you in your country after the fund have been
released to you and also to discuss investments potentias and have our share of
the money to buy industrial good for resale in my country.All I require is
your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal through.I have all the
documents (DEATH CERTIFICATE AND DEPOSIT CERTIFICATE) required to this
transaction I guarantee that this will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the
law.
Best regards,
BARR: IBRAHIM GALADIMA.
