Personal Attorney to Late Figueroa a national of your
country, who used to work with shell development
company in Nigeria.On the 2nd of may 2002, 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 there lives. Since
then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to
locate any of my clients 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 have contacted you to assist in
repartrating the money that belong to my client before
they get confisicated or declared unserviceable by the
bank where this huge deposits were lodged.

Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an
account valued at $30million dollars has issued
me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the
account confisicated within the next ten official
working days. since i have been unsuccesfull 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 are from the same country
so that the proceeds of this account valued at $30 million dollars can
be
paid to you and then you and me can share the money.

55% to me and 40% to you,while 5% should be for expenses or tax
as your government may require, I have the ertificate
of deposit that can be used to back up any claim we
may make. All I require is your honest cooperation to
enable us see this dealt 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 to enable us discuss further.

$30 Million! What are you going to spend it on?

Grim Reaper November 23 2005 6:57 AM EST

yea well it wouldn't be 30mill for me it be like w/e 40% of it is. I thought the email was just some scam a kid would have written up and gotten my email from a runescape fan site forum.

Or maybe from carnage blender, not really sure.

Nigeria is known for it's scam emails, that is where it gets a lot of income. It could possibly be from Nigeria.
