TRANSFER OF $27MILLION./YOU STAND AS THE NEXT OF KIN
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, Here is my name, Barrister Emman
Williams,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 1996,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
all 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 be! hind will be confiscated or declared unserviceable by
the bank where t his huge deposits were lodged. Particularly, the Bank
where the deceased had an account valued! at about U$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 the relatives for over
several years now.I seek your consent to pr! ese! nt you as the next of
kin of the deceased,so that the proceeds of this account valued at U$27
million 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. 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. You are required to bring the
following informations to enable me perfects the documents in your
favour.
