I have contacted you to assist in repatriating most especially,the money left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits were lodged. Particularly, the Union Bank of Nigeria plc where the deceased had an account valued at about 30 million dollars has issued me a notice to provide the Next of kin, or have the account confiscated. 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 30 million dollars can be paid to you, as my clients Next of Kin, and then we can share the amount on a mutual agreed percentage.All legal documents to back up your claim as the deceased Next of Kin, will be provided.

FIRSTLY, I WILL LIKE TO CLEARLY MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND,THAT LEGALLY, YOU HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, AS FAR AS THIS INHERITANCE CLAIM IS CONCERNED.AS A LAWYER WITH OVER THIRTY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE,I MAKE BOLD TO SAY WITH FULL AUTHORITY, THAT THIS BUSINESS IS 100% LEGAL,AND SAFE. I WAS THE DECEASED'S PERSONAL ATTORNEY.THIS LEGALLY MEANS, THAT I AM MANDATED TO CARRY OUT ANY BUSINESS DEALINGS ON HIS BEHALF, AS IF HE WAS PRESENT. I WAS HIS PERSONAL ATTORNEY FOR SEVERAL YEARS, UNTIL HIS DEATH.I WAS HIS CLOSEST CONFIDANT. AS EXPLAINED BEFORE, THE DECEASED HAD NO NEXT OF KIN TO INHERIT THE MENTIONED AMOUNT AND HIS ENTIRE ESTATE. AND BEING THE DECEASED PERSONAL ATTORNEY, I AM THE ONLY PERSON WHO CAN CONFIRM TO THE BANK, THE CLAIM OF ANY NEXT OF KIN, AND ALSO ADVICE THE BANK TO EFFECT PAYMENT TO SUCH A BENEFICIARY. THE REASON THAT YOU WERE CONTACTED, IS BECAUSE YOU BEAR THE SAME SURNAME AS THE DECEASED, AND THAT THE DECEASED MIGRATED FROM YOUR COUNTRY DOWN TO NIGERIA.I WANT YOU TO PUT IN A CLAIM AS THE NEXT OF KIN TO THE DECEASED. BY SO DOING, YOU WILL HAVE TO APPLY FOR A CLAIM OF INHERITANCE FORM FROM THE BANK WHERE THE FUNDS ARE DEPOSITED. ONCE THIS INHERITANCE CLAIMS FORM IS IN OUR POSSESSION WE SHALL THEN APPLY TO THE UNION BANK OF NIGERIA WHERE THE FUNDS ARE KEPT FOR THE RELEASE OF THE FUND INTO YOUR NOMINATED ACCOUNT. ONCE THE FUNDS ARE IN YOUR CUSTODY,YOU WILL BE ENTITLED TO 50% OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT IN QUESTION. WHILE MY HUMBLE SELF WILL BE ENTITLED TO 50%. TO PROGRESS WITH YOUR INHERITANCE CLAIM, WE WILL NEED TO DO THE FOLLOWING: (A).YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO ENGAGE THE SERVICES OF A SPECIALISED PROBATE ATTORNEY, WHO WILL ACT PROFESSIONALLY ON YOUR BEHALF, AS YOUR ATTORNEY.SUCH AN ATTORNEY SO ENGAGED, MUST BE DULY REGISTERED IN NIGERIA, AND PRACTICES IN NIGERIA. THE ATTORNEY WILL PROCESS ALL THE REQUIRED LEGAL BACK UP,TO OBTAIN THE REQUIRED LETTER OF ADMINISTRATION FROM THE PROBATE HIGH COURT OF LAGOS STATE NIGERIA, AND FORWARD SAME TO YOU AND THE BANK WITH THE BANKS APPLICATION FORM FOR INHERITANCE CLAIMS, ON YOUR BEHALF. (B).I SHALL THEN PROVIDE YOU WITH THE RECENT BANK STATEMENT/CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT OF THE DECEASED, AND HIS DEATH CERTIFICATE. (C).WHEN THE BANK RECEIVES YOUR CLAIMS APPLICATION AND A DULY PROCESSED LETTER OF ADMINISTRATION, THEY WILL IMMEDIATELY DRAW MY ATTENTION TO IT,NOTIFYING ME THAT SOME ONE HAS PUT IN A CLAIM AS THE NEXT OF KIN TO THE DECEASED. I WILL BE ASKED BY THE BANK TO VERIFY THE GENUINESS OF THE SAID CLAIM, AND RECOMMEND TO THEM, WHAT ACTION THEY SHOULD TAKE AS REGARDS PAYMENT. (D).THE BANK ON THE RECEIPT OF MY CONFIRMATION, WILL NOW GET IN TOUCH WITH YOU,THROUGH YOUR ATTORNEY, ASKING THAT YOU PRESENT THEM WITH YOUR BANKING COORDINATES, SO THAT THEY CAN TRANSFER THE MONEY INTO YOUR NORMINATED ACCOUNT. (E).WHEN THE BANK RECEIVES YOUR BANKING INFORMATION, THEY WILL RELEASE THE MONEY INTO YOUR NORMINATED ACCOUNT. THE ABOVE IS A VERY CONCISE EXPLANATION OF THE ENTIRE PROCESS OF THIS TRANSACTION. THIS MENTIONED PROCESS, WILL ONLY TAKE SEVEN BANKING DAYS TO COMPLETE, FROM THE DAY THAT YOUR ATTORNEY SUBMITS THE PAPERS TO THE BANK. NOW,I WILL ONLY DO THIS TRANSACTION WITH YOU, ON THE CONDITION THAT YOU WILL PROMISE TO BE ABSOLUTELY HONEST WITH ME, AND THAT YOU WILL RESPECT THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF THIS TRANSACTION, AND KEEP IT AS SUCH. THIS IS BECAUSE AS AN ATTORNEY,I AM PUTTING MY OVER 30 YEARS EXPERIENCE AT RISK TO SEE THAT WE CONCLUDE THIS TRANSACTION SUCCESSFULLY.
