Dear Sir/Madam
I am Barrister JOHN KENN (Esq.), the Personal Attorney to a Foreign
Contractor, who worked with a Multinational Oil Firm in Nigeria. On the 11th
of September 2001, my client, a American National, late Engineer A.Goins, an
oil Merchant / Contractor with the Federal Government of Nigeria, until his
death Five years ago in a ghastly terrorist attack to American Airlines
Flight 11, from Boston, Assachusetts,to Los Angeles, California, crashedinto
the North Tower of the World Trade Center with 86 people on board. All
occupants of the Aeroplane unfortunately lost their lives.
Since then I have made several inquiries to Several Embassies to locate any
of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After
these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives over
the Internet, to locate any member of his family but of no avail. Then I
have to contact you to assist me in repatriating the money left behind by my
client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Bank
where this huge deposit were lodged. Particularly, the Bank where the
deceased had an account valued at about Fifteen Million US dollars(US$15m)
has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin, relatives so that the
fund left will be transferred or have the account confiscated.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 5 years
now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased so
that the proceeds of this account valued at US$15 Million can be paid to you
and then you and I can share this money. 55% to me and 40% to you, while 5%
should be for expenses or tax as your Government may require. All I require
is your honest and co-operation to enable us see this deal through. I
guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law. I will want you to send to me
on your return email the following information for the transfer in your
favor
1, Your full Name
2, Your contact Address
3, Your private phone, mobile and fax numbers for easy communicating for
each others.
I await your kind response, Please if you are interested and capable in
handling this deal with me, due reply only on my alternative email address
for security reasons johnkenn@post.ro
And note that the nurture of this deal needs a very top secrecy.
Best Regards,
Barrister John Kenn ((Esq)
