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 Peterson Okolie the personal 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 21st of April 2000,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 of no 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.Otherwise 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 $27million 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 ays.since i have been unsuccesfull in locating the the relatives for
over several years now.I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin
of the deceased,so that the proceeds of this account valu ed at $27million
U.S dollars can be paid to your account and then you and me can share the
oney.55% to me and 40 % 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 any claim we may make.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.Please get in touch with me by
my email to enable us discuss further.please get back to me through this
email address:petersonokolie124@walla.com
Yours Faithfully,
Barrister Peterson Okolie
