My REF: ADB/20011XB83308/009
Attn: Next of kin,
It is with heartfelt hope that I write to seek your
co-operation and assistance in the context stated below, but
firstly, please accept my sincere condolences on the
departure of your beloved,
Mr.Duncan Drake
I know this might come as a surprise to you but it is my
duty to inform you that Mr.Drake, a foreign Oil
consultant/contractor with the Royal Dutch/ Shell Group of
companies, also a National of your country, made a numbered
time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at
US$17,500,000.00 with the UCO BANK since the year 2000.
Ever since then, a routine notification has been sent
several times to
him, without reply. In 2003, I discovered from his contract
employee
with the Shell Group of companies that my client was dead.
He was unfortunately one of the victims, of the AF4590
German
Concorde plane that crashed in Germany. also on further
investigation, it was revealed that his entire family were
also on the plane with him, and now he has no declaration of
inheritance on the deposit made to the Bank or any deed of
will made before his untimely death.

My name is Robert Peters (Barr), the personal attorney to
the
deceased,also Financial adviser, Remittance office of the
UCO BANK, (foreign sector).
I got your contact through the help of my sister-in-law that
works with the American Chambers of Commerce and Tourism,
though, I did not
disclose to her my humble intention for an honest foreigner
like you, Having noted the confidence reposed on your person
by the sponsor of the recommendation.
I want you to stand in as the next of Kin to the deceased
since you
relate to his last name, for us to save the fruits of his
labor as the
management of the UCO BANK is planning to confiscate the
fund by the
end of this month quarter, since the interest is being
rolled over with the principal sum for many years.
But if you are not related to him by last name or you know
his family
or would assist me i will give you 40% of the fund, 50% will
be for me, While 10% can also be paid to you incase you
spend any money on
expenses.
As soon as you consent to this request, I we immediately
obtain
the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration
in your
favor as the Next of kin. But i would also require your
personal
informations, i.e
1 Your full name
2 Contact address
3 Telephone and fax number
Please make sure your informations are correct and true as
this is what i will present to the bank as a proof to show
them that i have found the Next of kin to my late client, so
that the fund will be transfered to you the new Beneficiary.
Note that everything is going to be done legally so there is
no need to be worried of anything whatsoever. and if you
have any questions,please feel free to call me anytime via
my private number below so we can discuss further.
Kindly forward all response to : bar_ng6@yahoo.com
Anticipating your urgent response
Thanks and God bless
Sincerely,
Robert Peters (Barr)
