Dear Friend,
I was privileged to capture your name from the Internet. My name is Barr.John
Kelly, a legal practitioner and the personal Attorney to late Mr.James chan,
who died along with his wife and his Two sons in a Ghastly motor accident
along Egbeda road, third main-land bridge, over 3 years now August 13,2000.All
the occupants in the vehicle lost their lives.I am convinced that it was
the grace of God that made me to locate you.My client was a successful and
is accomplished family man, who made enough fortune before his untimely
death.
Since then I had made several inquiries through your Embassy to locate any
of my clients extended relative but this exercise has proved unsuccessful.After
several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives through
the Internet, to locate any member of his family not much progress was recorded
My late client was an influential wealthy businessman,an oil magnet here
in Nigeria and he left behind a deposit of $USD10.5 Million Dollars,In his
domiciliary bank account in Eco Bank Plc here in Lagos. After the death
of my client his bankers contacted me, as his Attorney to provide his next
of kin who should inherit his fortune.
The board of directors of his bank adopted a resolution and I was mandated
to provide his next of kin for the payment of this money within 28 working
days or forfeit the money to the bank as an abandoned property.The bankers
had planned to invoke the abandoned property decree of 1996 to confiscate
the funds after the expiration of the period given to me.
Despairing at the point of exhaustiveness, fortunately, I came across your
name,having reasoned very professionally and I feel it will be legally
proper to present you as the next of kin of my deceased client so that you
can be paid the funds left in his bank account hence I contacted you.
I seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin to the Deceased since
you are at an advantage, so that the proceeds of this Bank Account valued
at US$10.5m Million Dollars can be paid to you.
We shall both share the funds.60% to me and 40% to you, I shall
assemble all the necessary Legal Documents that will be used to back up
our claim.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing this deal through.I
guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of law.
PLEASE GET IN TOUCH WITH ME BY EMAIL: {john_kelly79@mail2world.com} TO ENABLE
US DISCUSS FURTHER.
Best Regards,
Barr. John Kelly.(KSJ)
