Dear Friend,
It is with trust and beleive that I write to you. I am
Barrister YUSUF BALLO a solicitor at law. I am the
personal attorney to Mr. Douglas national of
your country, who used to work with shell development
company in Nigeria and as well a one time secret agent
in transferring of money overseas for the Late head of
state of Nigeria {Late Gen.SANI ABACHA}.Before his
death On the 21st of April 2003 [my client,his wife
and their three children were involved in a car
accident along sagbama express road in which all
occupants of the motor died}. My client
deposited as family belongings in a CONSIGNMENT {jewelries}
the sum of $20.5m in Fidelity Bank Nigeria Plc here in Nigeria
for himself, with the hope of transferring it to his country
as soon as he is on leave.
Since his death I have made several enquiries to your
embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives
this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several
unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his last
name over the Internet, to locate any member of his
family 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 Fidelity Bank where
these Consignment (Money) were Deposited.Particularly,
the Fidelity Bank Nigeria Plc where the deceased
Deposited the Consignment valued at about 20.5million
dollars has issued me a notice to provide the next of
kin with in the next ten official working days. Since
I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for
over 3years 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
Consignments(Money) valued at 7.5 million dollars can
be claim by you and then you and me can share the
money.60% to me and 30% to you and the other 10% will
be for expenses each of us mighty make, I have
allnecessary 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 dealt through. I guarantee that this will be
executed under a legitimate arrangement that will
protect you from any breach of the law.
