Dear Friend,
I would like to solicit for your co-operation in a deal that involves the transfer of US $18.5million to your account for investment projects in your country.
Introduction: My name is Mr. Eze James, I am the personal attorney to Mr.George Kennedy, a national of your country, who worked with Schlumberger Nigeria Ltd. On the 21st of April 2011, my client and his wife and their only daughter were involved in a car accident along Badagry Express Road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have made several efforts to find any of his relatives but has been unsuccessful.
Before his death, he deposited US $18.5million in a bank here. After my several unsuccessful efforts to locate his possible next of kin, I decided to contact you because the bank has issued me a notice to present his Next of Kin within the next 30 official working days or have the funds returned to the treasury as unclaimed in accordance with existing law/policy. Since I have been unsuccessful in finding my late client relatives for over 4-5 years now, I am actually asking for your help as my partner to present you to the bank as the Next of Kin to late Mr.George Kennedy, so that the funds will be transferred/paid to you and then you and I can share the deposited US $18.5million. I already have some legal documents to support you, these documents will also stand as a proof that you are indeed the next of Kin to late Mr.George Kennedy. All I require from you is your 100% maximum co-operation to enable us achieve this deal.
I can assure you 100% that in this transaction, their is no risk involved, and it is 100% legal, and I will use my position as attorney to late Mr.George Kennedy to help you procure all the required legal papers which will give you full legal protection anywhere in the world.
Note: You may not be anyway related to my late client but I assure you 100% that all would be put in place in accordance with the Law to legally present you as the Next of Kin to late Mr.George Kennedy and legal beneficiary of the deposited US $18.5million, so that the money will be paid to us. I am considering this arrangement because I don't want the funds to be returned as unclaimed. I have will have agree to share the deposited US $18.5million equally between us.
Yours Faithfully,
Mr.Eze James
