Subject: Please Stand In As The Next of Kin.
From: Mr.John UwalakaEmail:
Dear Sir/Madam,
Good day !.My name is Mr.John Uwalaka,the personal secretary to Mr.David ,a contractor with Shell Development. On the 21st May,2000,Mr.David,his wife and their only child died in a Motor accident along Ibadan Express way.
Before his death,Mr.David has a deposit of US$10.5Million{Ten Millino Five Hundred Thousand United Dollars with Utility Trust Security & Finance Company here and nobody knew about this money deposited except Myself and the director of the Security Company Dr.John Smith.
However,since Mr.David has no next of kin to claim the money it is very important to note that the government will confiscate the fund if remained unclaim and because of that,the director of the Seciurity Company Dr.John Smith has mandated me to look for an honest and trustable person to be presented as the next of kin to Mr.David so that he will pay the money to the person since Mr.David did not present any next of kin before his death.
Sir, it might interest you to note that if you are interested in this business,30% of the total sum is for you,60% is for me and Dr.John Smith while 10% is for any expenses both of us might incure during the course of the transaction.
Kindly respond to this mail as soon as possible if you are interested so that we will let you know what you are required to do to enable us proceed as we have managed to remove this fund out of this country to one of the Affiliate Security Company in one of the African Countries.
Best Regards,
John Uwalaka.
