Yay, I finally got one of those bogus Nigeria scams! :lol: I presume it is anyway.
<b>Subject:</b> NEXT OF KIN TO LATE ENGR. MICHAEL JONES

Dear Sir/Ma,

I am Barrister Martins Dike Solicitor; I am the Personal Attorney to
Engr. Michael Jones national of your country, who used to work with
Chevron development Company in Nigeria.

On the 21st of April 2002, Engr. Michael Jones, his wife and their
three children were involved in a car along Lagos/Shagamu
Express Road. Unfortunately they all lost their lives in the event of
the , since then i have made several enquiries to your
embassy to locate any of his 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 of no avail,hence i contacted you. I got your contact from
a Web directory i got from your embassy.

I contacted you to assist in repatriating the money in addition,
property left behind by my client before they get confiscated or
declared unserviceable by the bank Where this huge deposits were
lodged. Particularly, the bank where the deceased had an account
valued at about US$25.3 million dollars.

Consequently, the bank issued me a notice to provide the Next Of Kin
or have the account confiscated within the next twenty official
working days. Since i have been unsuccessful in locating the
relatives for over 3 years now i seek your consent to present you as
the next of kin of the deceased since you are from the same country,
so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$25.3 million
dollars can be paid to you and then you and me can share the money.
50% to me and 40% to you, while 10% should be for expenses or tax as
your government 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 sees 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 private email :
martdike [AT] katamail.com to enable us communicate further and also your
telephone numbers

Best regards,

Barrister Martins Dike .{esq.}
