LAGOS-NIGERIA
I am Barrister Bello Musa, a Solicitor and Personal Attorney to Mr. Williams
a national of your country who used to work with Shell Development Company
in Nigeria. On the 21st April 2000, my client, his wife and their three
children were involved In a ghastly motor accident along Badagry Express
Road. unfortunately, All the occupants in the vehicle lost their lives.
my
client was a successful and an accomplished family man, who made enough
fortune before his untimely death. Since then I had made several inquiries
through your Embassy to locate any of my clients extended relative but
this
exercise has proved unsuccessful. After several unsuccessful attempts,
I
decided to trace his relatives through the Internet, to locate any member
of
his family not much progress was recorded.
Coincidentally,I came across your name and to my amazement, you bear
a
similar surname with my client. By virtue of my closeness to the deceased
and his immediate family, I am very much aware of my client financial
standing and the bank account he operates. I have reasoned very
professionally and I feel it will be legally proper to present you as
the
next of kin of my deceased client, so that you can be paid the funds left
in
his bank account, hence I contacted you. I am offering you this opportunity
by contacting you to assist in repatriating the money and property left
behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable
by
the Bank where this huge Deposits were lodged. This Investment Banking
corp
where the Deceased had an Account is valued at about Twelve Million, Five
Hundred Thousand United States Dollars as at last month assessment.
The Bank has issued me a notice as the Attorney to the Deceasedto 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 2 years that I have been searching,I seek your consent to present
you
as the Next of Kin to the Deceased since you are at an advantage, bearing
the same surname and equally from the same country, so that the proceedsof
this Bank Account valued at $12.5 Million Dollars can be paid to you.
we
shall both share the funds. 55% to me and 40% to you, while 5% should
be for
Expenses or Tax as your Government may equire, I have all the necessary
Legal Documents that will 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 law. Please get in touch with me by
email to enable us discuss further.
Best Regards,
BARR. BELLO MUSA(ESQ)
