PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL
Dear Dux,
It is with heartfelt hope that I write to seek your co-operation and
assistance in the context stated below.
I am Barrister Robert Peters, an advocate and Solicitor at law. I am the
Personal Attorney to late Mr.John Dux, a national of your country, who
unfortunately was one of the victims of the AF4590 German Concorde plane
that crashed in Germany,2000.
Check the site:http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm
Late Mr.Dux was a foreign Oil consultant/contractor with the Royal
Dutch/Shell Group of companies. He was on his way on a business
contract,on the 31 day of July, 2000 before he died. on further
investigation it was confirmaed that his wife and three children were also
involved in the crash. All persengers on the plane lost their lives.
Since then I have made several enquiries to his embassy to see if i can
locate any of my clients extended relatives,this has all the while proved
unsuccessful.After these several unsuccessful attempts,I decided to trace
his relatives (i.e.same surname) over the Internet,to locate any memberof
his family but all to no avail,hence I have contacted you today.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money left behind by my
client before it is confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where
this huge deposit is lodged.Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an
account valued at about $10.5 million dollars has issued me a notice to
provide the next of kin to the deceased or have the account confiscated by
the end of next month quarter, since the
interest is being rolled over with the principal sum .
Since i have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives I seek your consent
to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you are still a
foreigner,so that the proceeds of this account valued at $10.5 million USD
can be paid to you and then you and me can share the money,60% to me and 35%
to you,while 5%should be for expenses or tax as your government may require.
I will obtain all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any
claim we may make.All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see
this deal through.I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
I trust this mail will meet you in good health and i know that you will
assist me regards this matter. you can contact me via my private number
below for more details.
I await your soonest response
Sincerely,
Barrister Robert Peters
