Dear Sir
I am Barrister Ambrose Murphy a solicitor at law. I am the personal
attorney to Mr. Mark Ostler a national of your country, who used to work
with Shell – development company in Nigeria. Here in after shall be
referred to as my client.
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 their lives. Since then I
have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients
extended relatives.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his last name
over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted
you.
I have contacted 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. Particularly, the finance company
where the deceased had an account valued at about USD$5.2 million
dollars has 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 2 years
now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the
deceased since you have the same last name so that the proceeds of this
account valued at USD5.2 million dollars can be paid to you and then you
and me can share the money. 60% to me and 40% to you 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 and send to me your telephone and fax numbers to enable
us discuss further about this transaction
Your faithfully
Barrister Ambrose Murphy
