Subject: GOOD DAY
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
by the huge fund transfer opportunity that will be of mutual benefit to
the two of us.
However, I am Barrister Tony Obi,the personal Attorney to the late
Engr.Steve Moore a national of Isle of Man in UK, who used to work with
Shell Petroleum Development Company(SPDC) in Nigeria. On the 21st of
April1996, 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.
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$27million U.S dollars(twenty seven 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 the relatives for over
several years now.I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of
the deceased,so that the proceeds of this account valued at $27million 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.
I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any
claim we may make. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us
see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the
law.Please get in touch with me by my email ([email protected]) to
enable us discuss further.
