Dear Harris,
I am Barrister Jerry Akum, a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney to Late Mr. James Harris, an American by birth, who used to work with Shell Oil Development Company in Nigeria. Here in after shall be referred to as my client.
On September 5, 2002 my Client, his wife and their two children were involved in a fatal auto accident. My Client and his family together with their personal driver lost their lives in the unfortunate incident.
Since then I have made several enquiries to his embassy to locate any ofmy 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, hence I had to contact you. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposit were lodged.
Particularly, the Assurance Bank Limited where the deceased had a deposit valued at about Ten Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars (USD$10.5M) has issued me a notice to provide the NEXT-OF-KIN or have the account confiscated within the 6 weeks.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over a year now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at USD$10.5 Million can be paid to you and then you and I can share the money.
I would like you to contact me once you receive this mail indicating your interest in this to enable me give you more details of the modus operandi of getting this money paid to you by the Bank. I am willing to give you US$4M out of the entire sum for your assistance in getting this fund and I shall make arrangements on how to meet you at the appropriate time for the disbursement.
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 and I from any breach of the law.
Please get in touch with me immediately as I do not have much time at my disposal. Thank you in advance for your anticipated co-operation.
Best Regards,
Barr. Jerry Akum.
Jerry Akum Chambers.
