Dear,
I am Barrister Edwin Kayode (Esq),a solicitor at law. I am the
personal attorney to Mr.Dahlig Mitchell, who used to work with one of the
oil company's in Nigeria. Here in after shall be referred to as my
client.
On the August 6, 1997, my client was among some of the passengers
who died in a plane crash [Korean Air Flight 801]. For your
verification you can
visit:http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9708/06/guam.passenger.list/ Since
the demise of my client,I personally has watched with keen
interest to see his next of kin but all has proved abortive as no one has
come to claim his funds deposit of US$3.7M,(Three Million seven hundred
thousand united states dollars only]which was deposited by my late client
with a bank here in Nigeria.
On this note,I decided to seek for a foreigner who will stand as his
Next of kin to claim this funds from the bank where the funds was
deposited,as none of the deceased relative has come up to claim the deceased
funds.The banking ethics here does not allow such money to stay more than
eight years,after which the funds will be forfeited to the
government account as unclaimed funds.
With respect to your personality,we will share the fund as follow
40% of the total sum for you,50% for me,while 10% will be mapped out for
any expense which might comeup during the processing of this
transaction.Upon the receipt of your response,I will not Fail to bring to
your notice that this
business is hitch free and 100% risk free,as well,you should not entertain
any fear as all modalities for fund transfer will be followed and finalized
within ten (10) banking days depending on how fast we can communicate.
I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any
claim we may make,and also with some legal documents which a probate
lawyer will secure on your behalf as the bonifade next of kin and
beneficiary,the bank will immediate effect the transfer of this deposited
fund into any
of your nominated bank account,all I require is your honest cooperation and
assurance to enable us see this deal through.I do guarantee you that this
will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Please kindly get in touch with me via this email
address:eddykayode@walla.com for further directives and instructions.
Best regards,
Barrister Edwin Kayode (Esq).
