Subject: Wingate Family Next Of Kin
Dear Friend Wingate,
I am Barrister Hassan Buhari (SAN) Solicitor and Notary Public.I am the
Personal Attorney to Engr Allan Wingate who is a National of your
country,who used to work with shell development company in Nigeria.On the
21st of April 2000, my client,his wife and their only son 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 locate any of my clients extended relatives and 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 of no avail, hence
I contacted you. I 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 Bank where the deceased had an account valued at about 6.5 million
dollars.
Conseqently,the bank issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have
the account confiscated within a short time.Since I have been unsuccesful in
locating the relatives for over some years now, I seek your consent to
present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you share the same
surname so that the proceeds of this account valued at US6.5 million dollars
can be paid to you for both of us to share the money: 70% to me and 25% to
you,while 5% should be for expenses or tax as your government may require.
I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up the
claim.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
I hopefully wish to hear from you urgently while i await your favourable
response to this effect.please my dear you contact me on my private
tel:+2348023536167 for further details.
Thanks and God bless.
Barrister Hassan Buhari (Esq).
Attorney at Law
