ATTN Sir/Ma
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 ,(MARK EGO ) 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/LagosExpress Road. Unfortunately they all lost their lives
in the event ofthe 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
totracehisrelatives 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 days.
since i have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives forover
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 valued at $27million
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 alegitimate arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of the law.Please get in touch with
me by my email<markego2007@excite.com >to enable us discuss further.
< come up with the following for the transfere to commence>
