URGENT ASSISTANCE NEEDED.
I am Barrister Charles Ezeugo a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney to
Late Eng. William Ilies a national of your country, who used to work with
Chevron - Development Company in Nigeria.Here in after shall be referred to
as my client.
On the 25th of December 2003, my client, his wife and their three children
were involved in a Plane clash in cotonu. All occupants of the plane crash
unfortunately lost their lives except few
people.
Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my
clients extended relatives. Check out this websites:
www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/12/25/world/main590221.shtml
After these several unsuccessful attempts and consulations with the security company
where the fund is deposited ,
I decided to track you over the
Internet because i beleive you will assist me,hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left
behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by
the bank where these huge deposits were lodged.
Particularly, the finance company where the deceased had an account valued
at about USD$29.5 million dollars has issued me a notice to provide the next
of kin or have the account confiscated within the next Thirty (30) Working
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 since you have the same last name so that the proceeds of this
account valued at USD29.5 million dollars can be paid to you and then you
and me can share the money.50% to me and 40% to you and 10% will be used for
any expenses.
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 seeing
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 by my email and send
to me your telephone and fax numbers to enable us discuss further about this
transaction.
Best regards.
