BARRISTER MUSA JOHNSON
ISU CONSULTING,
IKOYI-LAGOS
Dear Frend,
I am Barrister musa johnson,a Solicitor, I am the Personal attorney to
one Engr.Jim ,a national of your country,who used to work with Mobile Oil
Company Plc here in Nigeria. On the 21st of April 2001,my client, his wife
and the three children were involved in a car accident Along Ora/Lagos
express Road.
Unfortunately they all lost their lives in the event of the
accident,since then I have made several inquiries to their 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, to locate any member of His family but of no avail, hence I
contacted you since you bear thesame surname to my late client.
I contacted you to assist in repatriating the money in addition,
property left behind by my client before they get Confiscated or declared
unserviceable by the bank Where this huge deposite were lodged.
Particularly,the Bank (INLAND BANK PLC NIG.)where the deceased had an
account valued at aboutUS$6.5million dollars ( SIX MILLION FIVE HUNDRED
HOUSAND UNTIED STATES DOLLARS ).
Consequently, 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 Unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 4 years
now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased,
regardless of
your country, with your name/address, some vitals will be obtained on your
favor which will back you as the next of kin the deceased.
The proceeds of this account valued at US$6.5 Million dollars can be paid
to you and then you and me can share the money 60% to me and 30% to you,
while 10% 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 a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law.
Best regards,
Barrister musa johnson.
