Dear Friend,
Although this proposal might come to you as a surprise, since it is from someone you do not know or have seen before, but based on recommendation, trust and confidentiality I decided to contact you.
I am Barrister Frank Onye, a solicitor at law, am the personal attorney to the late Mr. Jim Lason who was a contractor with Chevron/Texaco oil Corporation here in Nigeria. Herein after shall be referred to me as my client.
On April 2003, my client, his wife And their three children were involved in a car accident. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost there lives. Since then I have made several enquiries to his embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives but this proved abortive.
After several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to search over the Internet, to locate any foreigner who will be willing to participate in this DEAL and stand as the deceased next of kin to enable me perfect some documentation in his/her name hence I contacted you. I have contacted you to assist in repartrating the money and property left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits were lodged.
Particularly, the the bank where the deceased had an account valued at about US$7.5 million has issued me a notice to provide his next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next 2 months .
Since I have been unsuccesful in locating the relatives for over 2 years now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$7.5 million
can be paid to you, and then you and I can share the money on the percentage we shall agree on. I have some necessary legal documents that can be used to back up this claim.
All I require is your honest and co-operation to enable us pull this
deal through. I guarantee that this is 100% risk free and will be executed under legitimate arrangement.
Please get in touch with me through my private email: frankonye_chambers@myway.com so that we can proceed fast, as time is no longer on our side. Remember to include your private telephone number so that I can call you for further discussion.
You shall be given 35% of the money after the money must have being transfered into your account and 60% will be for myself,then 5% will be for the expenses that may arise during the transfer of this huge sum.
Hope you understand the confidential nature of this transaction and am also waiting for your fast response.
Best regards,
Barr.Frank Onye (Esq)
