Regards to the late Louis's inheritance.
.......................................................
I was privileged to capture your names from the Internet. My name is Barr. Leonard Eze, a legal practitioner and the personal Attorney to late Mr. Louis, a national of your country who died along with his wife and his Two sons in a Ghastly motor accident along Sagamu express road Ibadan, on March 19 th 2001. All the occupants in the vehicle lost their lives.
I am convinced that it was the grace of God that made me to locate you. My client was a successful and is accomplished family man, who made enough fortune before his untimely death. Since then I had made several inquiries through your Embassy to locate any of my clients extended relative but this exercise has proved unsuccessful. After several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives through the Internet, to locate any member of his family no progress was recorded.
My late client was an influential wealthy businessman, an oil magnet here in Nigeria and he left behind a deposit of Nineteen million, Three Hundred Thousand United States Dollars only US$19,3OO,OOO.OO in his domiciliary bank account in Continental Trust Bank Limited here in Lagos. After the death of my client his bankers contacted me, as his Attorney to provide his next of kin who should Inherit his fortune. The board of directors of his bank adopted a resolution and I was mandated to provide his next of kin for the payment of this money within 5 years or forfeit the money to the bank as an abandoned property. The bankers had planned to invoke the abandoned property decree of 1996 to confiscate the funds after the expiration of the period given to.
Despairing at the point of exhaustiveness, fortunately, I came across your name, I discovered that you bear the same surname with my late client and coincidentally, you are nationals of the same country.
I seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin to the Deceased since you are at an advantage, so that the proceeds of this Bank Account valued at US$19.3m Million Dollars can be paid to you. We shall both share the funds. 55% to me and 40% to you, while 5% should be for Expenses or Tax as your Government may require, I shall assemble all the necessary Legal Documents that will be used to back up our claim.
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 law. REPLY ONLY TO , leonchambers_2@yahoo.com for further detail.
Best Regards,
Barr. Leonard Eze.
