Subject: Act As Next Of Kin To Late Engr. Mathew Colegate.
From: Mrs. Helen Andersson Madu.
Fidelity Bank of Nigeria Plc
11 Burma Road Apapa
Lagos - Nigeria.
Dear Sir/Madam.
It is with trust and believe that I write to you, all through I don't know
you neither have I seen you before. But I decided to contact you based on
your profile in Real Estate Management.
I am Mrs. Helen Madu, I work with the Fidelity Bank of Nigeria, Lagos
branch. I am the personal account manager to Engr. Mathew Colegate, It
happened on the 2nd of march 2002, Engr. Mathew, a national of your country
who used to work with shell Petroleum Development Company in Nigeria (SPDC),
The above mentioned person, his wife and their three children were involved
in a car accident on there way driving to a wedding ceremony. All occupants
of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then, I have made
several inquiries to his embassy to locate any of the 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 to no avail, hence I contacted you. I
have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money that belongs to him,
before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where
these huge deposits were lodged. Particularly, in our bank where the
deceased had an account valued at about US$8,200,000.00 (Eight Million, Two
Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) the bank has issued a notice to
provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for Over 3 years
now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased so
that the proceeds of this account valued at (Eight Million, Two Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars) can be paid to you and then you and me can
share the money, 50% to me and 50% to you. All I require is your honest
co-operation to enable us see this enterprise through. This is urgent and I
will let you have the details on your immediate response. This should be
handled in an absolutely confidential manner to avoid any doubts by the
bank, as I will present you as the rightful next of kin to the deceased's
fund. This will be honored since I shall immediately make available to the
bank, the necessary documents to back-up this claim in your favor.
I quite believe that you will protect my interest by keeping this business
top secret and confidential, as your interest will be equally protected in
order to achieve and maintain maximum confidentiality. I guarantee that this
will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from
any breach of the law.
Please get in touch with me by my email to enable us discuss further.
Hope to hear from you soon as I count on your earliest response.
I look forward to your quick response and sincere cooperation.
Best regards,
Mrs. Helen Andersson Madu.
