I am Barrister.parker Jude , a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney to Mr Watson Boling a national of your country,possibly could be your brother,who used to work with shell Development Company in Nigeria.
Here in after shall be referred to as my client. On the 27th of April 2003,my client, his wife and their two Children were involved in a plane crash in a remote village called Kuru near Jos in Plateau State. All occupants ofthe plane unfortunately lost theirlives. Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy here in lagos to locate any of my clients extended relatives this has also proved unsuccessful.After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his last name over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by my client before they get confiscated, frozen or declared unservic eable by the bank where these huge deposits were lodged.Particularly, the Eco Bank International where the deceased had an account valued at about Eleven million,Five hundred thousand United States Dollars(US$11.500,000:00).The management has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account frozen within the nextten official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you have the same last name so that the proceeds of this account valued at $11.500,000:00 can be paid to you and then you and me can share the money. 60% to me and 40% to you I have all the necessary legal documents that can be used to back up this claim.
And this I must do to make sure that this fund is not wasted or end upin the wrong hands. All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed undera legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Regards
Barrister.parker Jude (Esq).
