Dear Partner ,
Kindly accept my apology for sending unsolicited mail
to you. I believe you are a highly respected personality,
considering the fact that I sourced your profile from a human resource
profile database on your country. Though, I do not know to what extent
you
are familiar with events.
Well, I am Barrister Frank Kelvin, a Solicitor. I am
the Personal Attorney to Mr. Steve A , who used to work with Agip
Oil Company in Nigeria. On the 21st of April 2003, his wife and their
three children were involved in a car accident along Abuja Express
Road.Unfortunately, they all lost their lives in the event of the
accident.
Since then I have made several enquiries to your
Embassy to locate any of my client's 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 to no avail, hence, I contacted you to assist in repatriating the
money left behind by my client in a Bank.
Particularly, the Finance House where the deceased
deposited the US$15 Million (Fifteen Million United States Dollars
only)
knows me very well and has ask me to present some one to claim the
fund
left my late client as they all know I am his attorney.
Consequently, this Bank issued me a notice to provide
the Next of Kin to claim the US$15 Million (Fifteen Million United
States Dollars only) in their custody within the next ten official
working
days. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for
over 2 years now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of
kin
of the deceased to claim the fund as the Next of Kin to him so that
the Bank will transfer the fund to your account.
Upon receipt of the fund, I will come over to your
country to meet with you for the disbursement of the fund and then you
and I will share the money in this order: 70% will be for me, 30% will
be for you. I have all the necessary legal documents that can back
our claim we may make with the Bank.
All I require is your honest co-operation 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.Contact me at my private email address barrfrankkelvin1@yahoo.
ca
Best regards.
FrankKelvin
Principal Attorney
