Dear Friend
It is obvious that this proposal will come to you as a surprise.This is
because we have not met before but I am inspired to sending you this email
following
the huge fund transfer opportunity that will be of mutual benefit to the
two of us.
However, I am Barrister Evans Thomas Attorney to the late Engr.Ronald
Johnson, a national of Northern American, who used to work with Shell
Petroleum
Development Company(SPDC) in Nigeria . On the 11th of November,2008. My
client,his wife And their three children were 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 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, hence
I
contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind
by my client,I can easily convince the bank with my legal practice that you
are
the only surviving relation of my client. Otherwise the Estate he left
behind will be confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this
huge
deposits were lodged.Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an
account valued at about $15 million U.S dollars(Fifteen million U.S.America
dollars).
Consequently,The bank issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have
the account confiscated within the next ten official working days. Since I
have
been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over several 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 $15million U.S dollars can be paid to
your account and then you and me can share the 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 cooperation to enable us see this deal through
and also forward the following to me:
Your Full Name:
Your House Address:
Your Tele-phone And Fax No:
Your Age and Gender :
Your Nationality:
Your Occupation:
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law.
Yours Faithfully,
Barr. Evans Thomas . { SAN }
