Subject: Attention: Please reply/call me immediatey,
I am Mr. Adams Evans (Esq, from Abidjan Cote D・Ivoire, solicitor and personal lawyer to late Mr. Alfred, a client of mine, who has a servicing firm affiliated with the Electric Authority here in Abidjan Cote D'Ivoire.
He was awarded a contract worth (US$22,600,000.00). Immediately this contract was signed, an initial amount of (US$10.600,000.00) was paid to him as mobilization fee to kick off the contract. He duly completed this contract pending when his remaining balance of (US$12,000,000.00) will be paid to
him. On the 18th April 2005, my client, his wife and their three children were involved in a ghastly boat capsize at Bassam. Unfortunately, all the occupants in the boat lost their lives.
Not too long after his untimely death, his outstanding balance of US$12,000,000.00 was approved and deposited in a Bank here. Right now the funds are still floating unclaimed in the suspense account of the offshore correspondence payment centre here.
I have reasoned very professionally and I feel it will be legally proper to present you as the next of kin of my deceased client, so that you can be paid the remaining balance of his contract funds left in the Bank, hence I contacted you. I am offering you this opportunity by contacting you to
assist in repatriating the fund and property left behind by my client before they get confiscated or unserviceable by the Bank where this huge deposit were lodged. The National Electric Authority issued me a notice as the Attorney to the deceased to provide the Next of Kin or have the Account
confiscated in a shot period of time since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over a year that I have been searching.
I seek your concept to present you as the Next of Kin or family member to the deceased since you are at an advantage, coming from the same country so that the proceeds of this remaining balance of his contract funds valued at (US$12,000,000.00) can be paid to you. We shall both share the funds, we
will agree on the sharing ratio as we proceed, A certain amount will be for any incurred expenses and for donation to charitable organizations.
I have all the necessary Legal Documents that will be used to back up any claim we may make. All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this project through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law after the
transfer is done, then you and l can share the fund.Please call with this number: +225-66372380 or 011225--66372380 for further details.
Best personal regards
Mr. Adams Evans (Esq.
