PLOT 1618 ABOYODE COLE WAY,
VICTORIAL ISLAND, LAGOS.
FROM; BARRISTER ADAMS AGI
OUR REF; GL-GWAS-005-31
I am Adams Agi, an attorney at law. A deceased client of mine, by name Mr.
Troy Maurice, who hereinafter referred to as my client, died in a Bomb Blast
in DiMaggio-Lagos Island On 2 February, 2003, with his wife and their only
daughter. I have made several enquiries to his embassy here to
locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved
unsuccessful.
I am contacting you to act as the next of kin to my late client, regarding
the inheritance claims of US$6.5million left behind by my client before it
gets confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where the fund was
deposited. The bank has already issued me a notice to provide the next of
kin or have the account confiscated within the next fourteen official
working days.
For the fact that I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for
over 2 years now, I seek the consent to present you as the next of kin to
the deceased, so that the proceeds of this account be paid to you.
On receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss the sharing
ratio and modalities for transfer. I have all necessary information and
legal documents needed to back your claims as the beneficiary of the fund.
All I require from you is your honest and total cooperation to enable us see
this transaction through. I guarantee you that this will be executed under
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law,
which makes it 100% risk and hitch free.
Furthermore, you may view the website about the news of the blast for
confirmation: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/2718295.stm
Awaiting your urgent response.
Yours Faithfully,
Barrister Adams Agi (LLB, BL, LLM)
