Subject: Act AS NEXT OF KIN TO MR.PATRICK JEEFSON
Attn:Sir/Maddam
Act AS NEXT OF KIN TO MR.PATRICK JEEFSON
I am Barrister Ossymen Moses, a solicitor at law. I am the personal Attorney
to Mr. Patrick Jeefson a Citizen of your country, who used to work with ALF
Corporation in Nigeria.
Here in after shall be referred to as my client. On the 21st of April 2003,
my client, his wife and their only daughter were involved in a car accident
along Sapele express road in Nigeria.
All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost there lives. Since then I
have made several enquiries to my client's country embassy here to see if I
can locate any of my client's extended relatives, this has also proved
unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to seek
for an honest person who can assist me to repartriate the funds valued at
US$10.5 Million (Ten Million Five Hundred United State Dollars) left behind
by my client before it gets confiscated or declared unserviceable by the
Security Finance Firm in South-African where this huge amount was deposited.
The said Security Finance firm has issued me a notice to provide the Next of
kin of my late client or have the funds confiscated within the next 29
(Twenty Nine) official working days. Since I have been unsuccesfull in
locating the relatives for over 2 years now, I decided to seek the consent
to present you as the Next of kin to the deceased, so that the funds can be
paid to you upon proof of identification/ownership as the next of kin to my
client. Therefore, on receipt of your positive response, we shall then
discuss the sharing ratio and modalities for the claims of the fund from the
security finance firm.
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 for more details and
also I will furnish you with the modalities of which we will carry out this
transaction without any hitch from your side. I will be pleased to receive
your private phone and fax number for easy and effective communication when
replying this mail.
Expecting your urgent response as soon as you digest the content ofthis
proposal
Best regards,
Barrister Ossymen Moses.
Attorney at Law.
