Attention.....,
I know that this mail will come to you as surprise, please accept the content in good faith. I donot intend to cause any grief to you and your family.The reason for sending this mail is very fundamental to the doctrine of human privileges and right. I am Barrister JAMES KOKU, A solicitor at law, personal attorney to a national of your country and a member of your family since he had the same family name with you Mr. M.A , and used to work with his Company in NIGERIA. Here in after shall be referred to as my client. On the 25TH FEB 2002,
my client,his wife and their only daughter were involved in a car accident along Nouvissi express Road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost there lives. Since then I have made several nquiries to your embassy here to locate any of my clients extended relatives,this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts,I have reasoned very professionally and I feel it will be legally proper to present you as the next of kin of my deceased client, so that you can be paid the funds left in his Finance Firm.
I therefore seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin to
the Deceased since you are at an advantage, bearing the same surname and equally from the same country, that the proceeds of this Security Finance Company valued at $12.5M can be paid to you. We shall both share the funds. 40% for you and 55% for me, while 5% should be for Expenses or your Government may require Taxes. The said Finance Firm has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have his account confisicated.
I expect your urgent response indicating your full interest in this great business to our both mutual trust.Your telephone and fax number will be needed for our easy communication.
