My Dear Friend.
I am Duke Kasy Esq., a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney to Mr. Mark , a national of your country, who used to work with Chevron Oil Producing Company in my country. Here in after shall be referred to as my client. On the 25th of December 2003, my client, on the single reason of visiting his in-laws My client his wife and their only daughter were involved in a Plane crash on their way home for the holidays and were among the 111 people confirmed dead. Since then I have made several inquiries to your embassy here to locate any of my client's extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track over the Internet to locate any member of his family or relative hence I contacted you since you have the same last name with my late client. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the fund valued at
US$11.7 MILLION (ELEVEN MILLION, SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS) left behind by my client before it gets confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Finance Firm where this huge amount was deposited.
The said Finance Company has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated in the next 40DAYS. For the fact that I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives since then I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you. Therefore, on receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss the percentage that is coming to me after the money is been credited in your chosen account and the modalities for transfer.
I can assist in procuring the necessary information and legal documents that may be needed to actualize this proposal. All I require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through. Guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.Possibly contact my through my private Email:
