Attorney and legal adviser to Mr.Mark VICTIMNAME , a national of your country,
who used to work with Mobil oil Company Accra Ghana Plc.On the 21st of April
2002, my client, his wife and their three children were involved in a car
accident along accra Express Road. All occupants of the vehicle
unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have made several enquiries to
your embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also
proved 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. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money
and property left behind by my client before the get impounded by the
security company were my client deposited this consignment(two trunk
boxes).Particularly, the security company where the deceased had a deposited
this consignment valued at about Twenty Million United States Dollars
(USD$20.000,000)has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have
the consignment confiscated/impounded within the next ten official working
days.since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over one
years now,
I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since
you are from the same country so that the proceeds of this consignment
valued at Twenty Million United States Dollars (USD$20,000,000) can be
claimed by you 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 this claim
