PERSONAL ASSISTANT
AFRICAN PETROLEUM DEVELOPMENT
COMPANY IN NIGERIA.
Dear Friend,
I am DR EJJI MBA.A nigeria by Birth; I am the Personal Assistant to late Mr. Gerald Lorenz a foreigner (American), who was a contractor to African Petroleum Development Company in Nigeria. On the 31st October, 2004, Mr Gerald Lorenz and his wife Barbara were involved in a fire accident right in their resident very painful, may their souls rest in peace.
So unfortunately they both lost their lives, since then I have made several enquiries to the American Embassy here and the home address he filled in his file to locate any of his extended relatives are not valid. Since I have never been to the U.S, everything has proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to use the Internet to locate any member of his family, but to no avail, hence I contacted you. I contacted you to assist in repatriating the money left behind by Mr. Gerald Lorenz before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Bank where this huge money is deposited the FINANCE HOUSE where the deceased had an account valued at about US$15.5M (fifteen million, five hundred thousand dollars).
Consequently, the bank issued me a notice to provide the next-of- kin which was his wife or have the account confiscated according to the law. Since I have not been able to locate any of his relatives for over 3 years now, I seek your consent to present you as the next-of-kin of the deceased since you are also a foreigner so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$15.5M can be paid to you and I.
We shall share the money thus: 60% to me and 30% to you, while 10% will be used to re-imburse any expenses that might be incurred on both ends and to service the Tax that might be incurred in your country. I have all the necessary legal documents that will be adjusted to favor you and 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.
You are advice to send:
1.YOUR TELEPHONE NUMBER.
2.YOUR MAILING ADDRESS.
3.YOUR FULL NAMES
BEST REGARDS,
PERSONAL ASSISTANT.
DR.EJJI MBA
