LAGOS - NIGERIA.
ATTN Sir/Madam,
It is obvious that this proposal will come to you as a suprise.This is because
we have not met before but I am inspired to sending you this email by the
huge fund transfer opportunity that will be of mutual benefit to the two
of us.
However, I am barrister fidelis okafor, Attorney to the late Engr.Steve
Moore a national of Isle of Man in UK, who used to work with Shell Petroleum
Development Company(SPDC) in Nigeria. On the 11th of November,1997.My client,his
wife And their three children were involved in a car accident
along Sagamu/Lagos Express Road. Unfortunately they all lost their lives
in the event of the accident, Since then I have made several enquiries to
several Embassies to locate any
of my clients extended 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 ofno avail, hence
I contacted you. I contacted you to assist in repartrating the money and
property left behind by my client,I can easily convince the bank with my
legal practice that you are the only surviving relation of my client.
Other wise the Estate he left behind will be confiscated or declared unserviceable
by the bank where this huge deposits were lodged Particularly, the Bank
where the deceased had an account valued at about $27 million U.S dollars(twenty
seven million U.S.America Dollars).Conseqently,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 unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over several
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 $27million U.S dollars can be
paid to your account and then you and me can share the money. 55% to me
and 40% to you,while 5% should be for expenses or tax as your government
may require.All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this
deal through and forward the following to me
1,Your Name
2,House Address
3,Your Phone/Fax Number
4,Your Age and Gender
I guarantee that this will be executed under a egitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law.Please get in touch with my
private email address fidelis_okafor55@yahoo.comto enable us discuss
further.
