Dear Confidant,
I would like to solicit for your cooperation in a deal that involves the transfer of US $5.7 million to your account for investment projects in your country.
Introduction: My name is Uche Onuh, a lawyer by profession. I am the personal attorney to Mr. Mikie Smith Azhar, a national of your country, who worked with Schlumberger Nigeria Ltd, hereinafter shall be referred to as my client.
On the 21st of April 2009, my client, his wife and their only daughter were involved in a car accident along Badagry Express Road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have made several efforts to find any of his relatives but has been unsuccessful.
Business Proposal: Before his death, he deposited US $5.7 million in a Financial Firm (name withheld). After my several unsuccessful efforts, I decided to contact you because the Financial Firm has issued me a notice to present his Next of Kin within the next 30 official working days or have the funds declared unserviceable and returned to the treasury as unclaimed in accordance with existing law/policy. Since I have been unsuccessful in finding his relatives for over 4 years now, I am actually asking for your consent to present you to the Financial Firm as the Next of Kin/business partner to late Mikie S. Azhar, so that the funds will be paid to you and then you and I can share the money.
I already have some legal documents to support you, these documents will also stand as a proof that you are indeed the next of Kin to late Mikie S. Azhar. All I require from you is your maximum co-operation to enable us achieve this deal. This proposition is entirely risk free and I will use my position as attorney to late Mikie S. Azhar to help you procure all the required legal papers which will give you full legal protection anywhere in the world.
Note: You may not be anyway related to my late client but I assure you that all would be put in place in accordance with the Law to legally present you as the Next of Kin to late Mikie and legal beneficiary of the funds so that the money will be paid to us. I am considering this arrangement because I don't want the funds to be returned as unclaimed. I have decided to give 20% of the fund to charity, while the remaining will be shared equally between us.
If you are interested in this proposal, could you get back to me via e-mail or fax to enable us discuss in a more vivid manner to the best of your understanding. Should you have any question, you can call me for further discussion?
Conclusion: The intended transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement. However if this business proposition offends your moral ethics, do accept my sincere apology.
Thanks. I await your positive response soon and to aid in communicating further, kindly send me your direct phone and fax numbers.
In all friendship I remain,
Uche Onuh (Esq)
