Subject: PLEASE LET'S WORK TOGETHER.
Hello Friend,
I am Barrister Chukwuka Uche, a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney to Mr. Michael Ginger, a national of your country, who used to work with shell development company in Nigeria and as well a one time secret agent in transferring of money overseas for the Late head of state of Nigeria {Late Gen.SANI ABACHA}.
Before his death On the 21st of April 1999 [my client, his wife and their three cildren were involved in a car accident along sagbama express road in which all the occupants of vehicle die}. My client deposited as family belongings in a CONSIGNMENT {iejewelries} valued the sum of US$32.5m in Diamond Bank Plc, Lagos-Nigeria for himself, with the hope of transferring it to his country as soon as he is on leave. Since his death I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives but this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace 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 or declared unserviceable by the Bank where these Consignment (Money) were Deposited. Particularly, the Diamond Bank Plc, where the deceased Deposited the Consignment valued at about Thrity-Two million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin within the next ten official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over four 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 Consignments-(Money) valued at US$32.5m can be claimed by you and shared between us in the ratio of 40% to me and 60% to you.
I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make. All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this dealt through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Finaly, I request you to send me the following information below, as will enable me proceed immediately with the claim of the said fund-(US$32.5 million) in your name.
1. YOUR FULL NAMES AND COMPLETE MAILING ADDRESS.2. YOUR TELEPHONE NUMBERS/FAX.3. YOUR SEX/AGE.4. YOUR OCCUPATION.
Note that it does not necessarily matter, whether you are biologically related to the deceased or not. The fact that your name has something to do with his, is an express ticket to your assuming the kinship to the deceased. As you can bear with me, a next of kin to one, may be a Parent, Sister, Brother, Close Relative, Associate, Friend or even a Well-wisher. So, whether you are related to him or not is never a barrier to your kinship in the transaction.
With best regards,
Barrister Chukwuka Uche(Esq).
