Dear Sir/Ma
It is obvious that this proposal will come to you as a surprise. This isbecause we have not met before but I am inspired sending you this email by the huge fund transfer opportunity that will be of mutual benefit to both of
us.
However, I am Barrister DICKSON OGA, the personal Attorney to the LATE ENG.STEVE RAMON a National of your country, who used to work with Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) in Nigeria. On the 21st of April 2002,my client, his wife And their two children were involved in a car
accident along Sagamu/Lagos Express Road.Unfortunately they all lost their lives in the fatal accident, Since then I have made several inquirers to several Embassies in search of my clients extended relatives, this my effort has proved abortive. After these several unsuccessful Attempts, I decided to trace his relatives over the Internet to locate any distance member of his family.
Henceforth, I contacted you to assist me in repatriating the money and property left behind by my client. As a legal practitioner I can easily convince the bank that you are the only surviving relation of my client.Otherwise the Estate he left behind will be confiscated or declared unclaimed by the bank where these huge deposits were lodged.Particularly,the Bank where the deceased had an account valued at about $27million U.S dollars (twenty seven million U.S.America dollars). Consequently, The bank issued me a notice 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 several years now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased’s so that we can proceed to recover this fund $27millionU.S dollars. The money will be paid into your account and then you and me can share the money. 60% to me and 30% to you, while 10% should be for expenses or tax as your government may require.
I have all the necessary legal documents that may be required to back up the claim. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this is legitimate and will be executed under a legal arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.Please get in touch with me by my private email (dickson_oga01@myway.com)to enable us discuss further.
For the immediate commencement of this transaction, you should provide
to meyour contact information.
1) Your full name
2) Your contact Address
3) Your private phone, mobile and fax numbers for easy Communication.
Yours Faithfully,
Barrister Dickson Oga (Esq.)
