 My client an oil magnet working with Chevron Oil /Texaco Nigeria plc. 
had left behind a fixed
deposit of Eleven Million Six Hundred Thousand United States Dollars 
(USD11.6) only with a
Financial Institution. Just after the death of my client, the finance 
company contacted me as his
attorney to provide his next of kin who should inhert this fortune. 
This according to them was in
accordance with the Financial Institution's policy in such 
circumstances.
 
Well since the death of my clien t and his entire family, I have made 
several enquiries through his
embassy to locate any of my client's close or extended relatives but 
this exercise had all the
years been unsuccessful. I had to inform the finance company about my 
fruitless effort in locating
any of my client's close relatives. The Board of Directors of the 
company has just adopted a
resolution and I wasmandated toprovide the next of kin for the payment 
of this money within the
next 15-working days or forfeit the money as anunclaimed funds.
 
The company had planned to invoke the abandoned property decree of 1994 
to confiscate the funds
after the expiration of the period of grace given to me After an 
investigation in the finance
company, I found out that some of the Directors are planning to divert 
this funds into thier
private accounts for their personal use and only want to use the 
beneficiary or next-of-kin excuse
to achieve their nefarious onbjective.
 
 Well I have considered the options open to us very carefully and 
professionally too and I have
decided to use a legal means to present you as the next of kin of my 
deceased client. This is
legally possible and would be done in accordance with the laws of the 
federation. Consequently I
seek your consent to be presented as the next of kin to the deceased 
since you are aforeigner. I
have allvitial documents that would confer you the legal rights to make 
this claim and I will make
them available to you so that the proceeds of this bank account valued 
at USD11.6 Million can be
paid to you before it gets confiscated or declared claimable.
 
 Note that this transaction is 100% risk free. I do sincerely 
sympathtize the death of my client
but I think it is unreasonable for his funds to be abandoned to the 
Federal Goverment of this
country or some finance company directors. My aim is to retrieve this 
funds and for this singular
reason I seek your assistance. Since I have not been able to locate the 
relatives of my deceased
client for over four (4) years now and since no one has come for the 
claim I seek your consent once
again to present you as the next of kin of the deceased. When we 
receive this money, it shall be
shared between you and I in the ratio of 30:70.
Whcih means you shall have 30% of the money while the remaining 70% 
shallbe mine. I guarantee that
this transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that 
will protect you from any
breach of the law.
 
Please get in touch with me immediately so that we can commence with 
the processing of the claim at
once. For a smooth and unhindered processing of the claim please send 
the following information to
me: Your Full Name(s), Address, Telephone and Fax (if any) Numbers.
 
 You can also send your complete banking information for the payment of 
the money. However this is
optional as it is not required at this stage. 
 
Best Regards.
