This is the e-mail i recieved from him so if you get one like it beware...
Dear Mr. Putnam,
I am Barrister Olumid cole, a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney to late Mr. Pitt Putnam, a national of your country, who used to work with one of the oil servicing Company in Nigeria. Here in after shall be referred to as my client.
On the 21st of April my client, his wife and their only daughter 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 here to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. 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.
I have contacted you to assist in repartrating the fund valued at US$3.5million left behind by my client before it gets confisicated or declared unserviceable by the AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK OF NIGERIA (ADB), where this huge amount were deposited. The said BANK has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confisicated within the next fourteen official working days.
For the fact that I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over 2 years now, I seek the consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased, since you have the same last name with my client, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you. Therefore, on receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss the sharing ratio
and modalities for transfer.
I have all necessary information and legal documents needed to back you up for claim. All I require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Please get in touch with me through this email address: [email protected]
Best regards,
Barrister Olumid cole.
I also recieved a second e-mail from him here it is...
Dear mr. Putnam,
thank you for your quick response to my email. I am happy you replied my email. Mr. Pitt putnam is my client and i stated all these in my previous email.
The bank he operates mandated me as his attorney to locate a next-of-kin to claim the funds he has in their bank but this has taken two years of which i have been totally unsuccessful, and the bank has given me a maximum of fourteen working days to come up with a next-of-kin to mr. Pitt putnam otherwise they will have no other option than to confiscate the funds as there is no one related to the deceased to claim the money.
I have thought of this as a waste, so i decided to contact you based on the fact that you have the same last name as the deceased. I have a plan to present you as the next-of-kin to the late mr. Pitt putnam and have you receive this money into your bank account for our own personal use on a ratio of 50%-50% between the two of us.
Though all this depends on your full consent and your willingness to participate in this arrangement which will be of mutual benefit to both of us. I will also want you to provide a telephone number so that i can give you a call on this matter.
Do provide the following details for the application process:
1. Your full name and address
2. Occupation
3. Marital status
4. Date of birth
5. Your telephone and fax number for easy communication
these information will be used to fill out the application form at the holding bank please bear in mind that time is of very great essence so you have to make your responses in good time, preferably within a 24 hour difference after you receive my emails.
I await your response.
Regards.
Barrister olumid cole
