Subject: MY BUSINESS PROPOSAL TO YOU.
MY BUSINESS PROPOSAL TO YOU..
Dear Sir
I am Dr Mitt Romney,the personal physician to .Mr Parnell Louis a
national of your country, who used to work for Shell petroleum
development company in Nigeria as a civil contractor.On the 2nd day of
March,2020 ,my patient tested positive to Corona virus in the ikoyi
area of Lagos state.He was immediately taken to an isolation center by
the Nigeria Center for disease control(NCDC).He eventually died after
the painful battle with the dreaded virus on the 31st day of
April,2020.May his soul rest eternally….
Ever since then I have made several enquirers to your embassy,through
my attorney, to locate any of my Patient's extended relatives.After
these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his last name
over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I
contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property
left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared
serviceable by the bank where this huge deposits were lodged.His
Lawyer,whose body language,to me,is to dubiously corner a large chunk
of the the funds in connivance with the financial institution.And I am
bound to thwart it.
Since,I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for about 3
weeks now.I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the
deceased since you have the same last name so that the proceeds could
be remitted to you.A favorable percentage of this funds,which is
subjected to negotiation will be parted with in your favor. All I
require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through.
Upon showing interest,the email contacts of the deceased's lawyer
shall be forwarded to you to lay claims to the funds as the
next-of-kin..I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.You
should reply to this my Private email([email protected]).
Yours faithfully,
Dr Mitt Romney.
