Hello Dear,

Good day. I apologize for sending you this sensitive information via e-mail instead of a Certified mail/Post-mail. This is due to the urgency and importance of the information.

I am Joshua Akintola, a Solicitor and Personal Attorney to a national of your country who before his death was an oil merchant in Nigeria liquefied Natural Gas Company (NLNG).

On the 27th June 2000, my client, his wife and their only kid were involved in a car accident along Lagos-Ibadan Express Road. All of them unfortunately lost their lives.  Since then I as the Personal Attorney of the deceased had made several inquiries to locate any of my clients extended relative but this has proved unsuccessful. After several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives through the Internet, to locate any member of his family but to no avail, hence I contact you.

I have contacted you to assist in getting the money and property left behind by my client before there get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Bank where this huge Deposit were lodged. Particularly, the Bank where the Deceased had an Account valued at about Nine Million United States Dollars (US$9,000,000.00) as at last month assessment.

The Bank of Nigeria has issued me - Joshua Akintola - a notice as the Attorney to the Deceased to provide the Next of Kin or have the fund declared as an UNCLAIMED FUND within the Next 15 official working days. This money will go into my bank account.

Joshua Akintola Bank Account Nigeria Scam

I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 12 years now that I have been searching.  I seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin to the Deceased since you are a foreigner like him so that the proceeds of this Nigeria Bank Account can be paid out in your favor. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law.

I have the necessary Legal Documents that will be used to back up any claim we are going to make. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing this deal through.

I wait for your urgent reply with your personal telephone number for effective communication and oral clarification.

Respectfully,

Joshua Akintola Esq
