Dear Sir/Madam
I am Barrister Jubril Aminu, a solicitor I am personal attorney to the late MR.DELINZER FONTENOT, a national of your country, who was a consultant with Shell Oil Development Company in Nigeria and also a personal friend of mine. He died and left behind his deposit in a bank valued at 7,753,000.00 (Seven Million Seven Hundred and Fifty Three Thousand United States Dollars Only).
My relationship with MR.DELINZER started in 1994 when I was a legal adviser to one of the directors in the bank at Victoria Island Lagos. We met in our Golf club's annual end of the year party and I introduced him to my bank where he opened an account. Some few weeks later, he made me his personal attorney and the LEGAL officer to the account which he operated until his unfortunate demise together with his wife and their two children were involved in a car accident with All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.
Since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of MR.DELINZER's extended relatives this has proved unsuccessful. After several unsuccessful attempts to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you. I contacted you to assist in repatriating the money left behind by Mr. DELINZER before it get confiscated since the bank has declared the account unserviceable.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives of thedeceased for over 3years, I therefore seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased, so that the proceeds of this account valued at $7,753,000.00 (Seven Million Seven Hundred and Fifty Three Thousand United States Dollars Only) can be paid to you.
Then you and I can share the money as follows; 60% to me and 40% to you. all I require is your honest cooperation to enable us pull this deal through, I assure you that this is 100% risk free and will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect us from any breach of the law.
