I got this today... it mentions nigeria also.
Dear Morgan,
I am Barrister Adedoyin Michael Daniels a solicitor at law and personal
/family attorney to Mr Matthew Morgan, National of your country, who was the Chief Operations Manager, with Shell Oil development company in Nigeria herein shall be referred to as "my client".
On the 21st of April 1998, "my client" his wife and their three children travelled to their home country and were involved in a fatal accident and everybody died. Ever since then, I have made several enquries to your embassy to locate any of "my client" extended
relatives but this has also proved unsucessful. 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.
"My client" left lots of money in the bank here. About $12.5 million dollarsUSD is left in his name in ZENITH INTERNATIONAL BANK PLC here in Nigeria. I have contacted you that bears this surname to reparate his money before they get confiscated since there is a government gazette/circular mandating/authorizing banks to place on hold or freeze any account containing huge sums of money that has been unserviceable for a reasonable period of time. This is geared towards
forestalling capital flight from the economy. Prior to the execution of this directive, I decided to mail you to stand as the next of kin to my client so as to claim the money.
I am now soliciting for your assistance/co-operation in approaching the bank to sign-off and claim this fund from the Bank since your surname is the same as my client's surname.
Upon your readiness to signoff and claim the fund as the next of kin of the deceased to have the same last name so that the proceeds of this account valued at $12.5 Million dollarsUSD can be paid to you. You will get 25% share of the money, 65% Will be for me and some
of the officials of the bank and 10% for legalpapers and other expences to be incured during the transaction. I will forward to you the necessary documents to enable you make adequate claim over the
funds and have access to it. I will also forward to you the contact details of the bank and the officer to contact so as to avoid the accumulation of much demurrage on the deposited Money in the Bank.
Please reach me immediately, indicating your interest concerning this transaction. And send your Tel and Fax numbers so we can communicate more easily and i can brief you more. You should please reply my mail to my chambers Mail address which is
[email protected]
Your soonest response is anticipated.
God bless you and Best Regards.
Barrister Adedoyin Michael Daniels (Esq)
