Dear XXX,
I am Barrister John Emenike Briggs a Solicitor. I am the Personal Attorney
to Engr,Fredrick LANNING,a national of your country, who used to work with
oil development company in Nigeria.
On the 21st of April 1999, my client, his wife And their three children
were involved in a car accident along Sagbama Express Road. All occupants
of the vehicle unfortunately lost thier lives.
Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy 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 to no avail, hence I
contacted
you.
I have contacted you to assist in repartrating the money and property left
behind by my client before they get confisicated or declared unserviceable
by the bank where this huge deposits were lodged.Particularly, the Bank
where the deceased had an account valued at about 8.6 million dollars has
issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account
confisicated
within the next ten official working days.
Since i have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over 2 years
now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased
since you are from the same country and bears the same surname as his so
that the proceeds of this account valued at $8.6 million dollars can be
paid to you as his next of kin and then you and me can share the money.65%
to me and 30% to you,while 5% should be for expenses or tax as
yourgovernment
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 if you
have accepted in transacting this deal with me.
Get in touch with me through my alternative email address
barrjohnbriggs@maktoob.com
which is: indicating your interest and also to discuss further so as tell
you the necessary proceedings to follow to get this fund transfered to
your
bank account. It is 100% risk free.
