It is obvious that this proposal will come to you as
a suprise.
This is because we have not met before but i am
inspired to sending you
this email by the huge fund transfer opportunity
that will be of mutual
benefit to the two of us.
However, I am ,the onwajude personal Attorney to
the late Engr.Steve Moore a national of Isle of Man
in UK, who used to work with Shell Petroleum
Development Company(SPDC) in Nigeria. On the 21st of
April 1996,my client,his wife And their three
children were involved in a car accident along
Sagamu/Lagos Express Road. Unfortunately they all
lost their lives in the event of the accident, Since
then I have made several enquiries to several
Embassies to locate any of my clients extended
relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided
to tracehisrelatives over the Internet to locate any
member of his family but of no avail, hence I
contacted you.
I contacted you to assist in repartrating the money
and property left behind by my client,I can easily
convince the bank with my legal practice that you
are the only surviving relation of my client.
Otherwise the Estate he left behind will be
confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank
where this 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).Conseqently,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 unsuccesfull in locating the the
relatives for over
several 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 $27million U.Sdollarscan 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.
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 see this
deal through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under
alegitimate arrangement that will protect you from
any breach of the law.Please get in touch with me by
my email to enable usdiscuss further.
Yours Faithfully,
Barristeronwajude
