LAGOS, NIGERIA.
Dear,
Please don't be much surprise about my email, as we do not known each
other before. Firstly let me introduce myself. I am Barrister Daniel
Onyeike, a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney to Mr. Alex
Mitchell, a national of yours, who used to be an oil merchant here in
Nigeria. Herein, shall be referred to as my late client. On the 21st of
April 2005, my client, his wife and their three Children were involved in
a car accident. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their
lives. Since then I have made several efforts to locate any of my
clients extended relatives but this has proved unsuccessful.
After these several attempts proved abortive, I decided to search over the
internet to locate any person from your country have it as a deal. I want
to present your information as the real "next of kin" to my late client;
and to assist me in claiming the funds deposited by my late client before
they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the finance company
where he deposited a big amount of money.
Few days ago, I was contacted by the manager of the finance company to
present the "next of kin" to my late client to claim the
(USD$3,000,000:00) Three Million United States Dollars, deposited by my
late client without any further delay. Since I have been unsuccessful in
locating the real relatives up till now, I now seek your consent to
present you as the "next of kin" to my late client since you are from the
same country, so that this amount can be claimed by you and then you and
I will share the money as follows: 50% to me and 40% to you and 10% will
be to reimburse all expenses that may be incurred by both parties during
the process of the transaction. I have all necessary legal documents that
can be used to back up this claim in your favor. As it is now, the
finance company will not question any person that I will presnt from your
country as the next of kin to my late client.
All I require from you now is your honest co-operation and your personal
details to enable me to swear an affidavit here on your behalf as the real
next of kin to my late client. I will send the affidavit document to
you for your self keeping and for the finance company to release the
funds in your favor. I guarantee that this will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect us from any breach of the law.
Such your personal information I need includes:
Your full name:
Address:
Tel/fax no:
Date of birth/place of birth:
Occupation:
PLEASE, REPLY WITH A COPY OF THIS EMAIL TO MY ALTERNATIVE
EMAIL:danonyieke@galmail.co.za
Looking forward to hearing from you.
