*Good day dear,

How are you doing today? Hope your doing very much fine over there including
your family.
Please kindly accept my apology for sending this unsolicited mail to you. I
believe you are a highly respected personality, considering the fact that I
source your profile from a human resource profile database on your country.
Though, I do not know to what extent you are familiar with this event.
**Dear, **I am Barrister Jonna Johnson (SAN) Solicitor and Notary Public. I
am the Personal Attorney to (MR. MACK C . GUZMAN), of who is a National of
your country, who used to work with shell Development Company in Nigeria.
On the 21st of April 2003, my client, his wife and their only son where
involved in a car accident along Sagamu/Lagos Express road. Unfortunately,
they all lost their lives in the event of the accident, since then I have
made several inquiries to locate any of my clients extended relatives and
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 to no avail, hence
I contacted you.
I 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 huge deposits were lodged. Particularly, the Bank where the
deceased had an account valued at about 7.5, million dollars. Consequently,
the bank issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account
confiscated within a short time.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over some years
now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased
since you share the same surname so that the proceeds of this account valued
at US 7.5, million dollars can be paid to you for both of us to share the
money; 50% to me and 45% to you, while 5% should be for expenses or tax as
your government may require.
I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up the
claim. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing this
deal through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law. *
*
Finally **, **I will effect every necessary Documents of Change Of Ownership
that will authenticate this transaction on your name as soon as I hear from
you.*
**
* If you are willing to transact this business with me, kindly get back to
me as soon as you receive this mail. *
**
*Note that this transaction requires utmost confidentiality.And I am
assuring you that it is 100% risk free. So you need not be afraid. I expect
a positive response from you soonest.
Trusting To Hear From You As Soon As Possible.*
*Thank and God Bless.
