PORT-HARCOURT
POSTAL CODE-23480.
REGARDING MICHEAL COOPER.
I am BARRISTER OGBU DAVID a Solicitor and the personal Attorney to Mr. Michael Cooper a national of your Country , who worked with Shell Development Company in Nigeria. On the 21st April , 2004, my Client,his wife and three children were involved in an authomobile accident along Port-Harcourt / Warri Express Road.
Unfortunately they All lost their lives in the event of the accident, due to the poor major roads in nigeria, since then I have made several enquiries at your Embassy here to locate any of my Client's relatives, this has proved abortive/ unsuccessful. After these abortive attempts I decided to trace his relatives over the chambers of commerce through the Internet, but of no avail. I am contacting you to assist in repartriating the fund and property left behind by my client before they got confiscated or his bank accounts be declared unserviceable by his bank, particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an account valued at about Five Million,Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars ($5.5m usd).
The Bank has signaled me a notice to provide them with my late Client's Next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next (20) banking days. Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the the relatives for over 1 years now, I want to seek your consent to present your self as the next of kin of the deceased since you are from the same Country so that the proceeds of this account valued at $5.5m usd can be paid to you. I propose that when the fund (US$5.5m) is eventually paid into your bank account, that it shall be disbursed in the following order, 60% to me and 35% to you, while 5% shall be set aside to off-set all expenses at both ends and tax as your government may demand. I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up this claim as they shall be obtained from the Federal High Court here without contravening the Nigeria laws. 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 and On the receipt of your response i will furnish you with detailed clarification as it relates to this mutual benefit transaction.
Please get in touch with me, to enable us discuss further and send me your telephone and fax numbers too.
Best
Regards,
BARRISTER OGBU DAVID.
