Dear Sir/Madam,
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 both
of us.
However, I am Jude Asakah,the 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 in several Embassies to locate any of my
clients extended relatives,this has also prove
unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts,I decided to
trace his relatives over the Internet to locate any member
of his family but of no avail, hence I contacted you to
assist in repartrating the money 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.
Otherwis 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 relatives
for over several years now.I seek your consent to present
you as the next of kin to the deceased,so that the proceeds
of this account valued at $27million U.S dollars can 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.Also your information
such as;-
(1)Full Names
(2)Address
(3)Telephone / Fax Numbers
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the
law.Please get in touch with me by my
email(judeasakah@teenmail.co.za) to enable us discuss further.
Yours Faithfully,
Barrister Jude Asakah(Esq).
