London England.
Good Day ,
This is a personal email directed to you and I request that it be treated as
such. I must solicit your confidentiality and assure you that I am
contacting you in good faith and this proposal will be of mutual benefit. I
am Kelvin Hendricks, a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney/sole
executor to the late Mr. Mark hereinafter referred to as 'my client' who
worked as an independent oil magnate in my country and who died in a car
crash with his immediate family in east London on the 5th of November
2000.My late client a formal Sub-Comptroller working with Chevron Texaco Oil
here in the United Kingdom and had left behind a deposit of Nine Million
Eight Hundred Thousand British Pounds Sterling only (£9.8million) with a
finance company. After the death of my client,the finance company contacted
me, as his attorney to provide his next of kin who should inherit his
fortune; this according to them is their policy insure circumstances.
Since the death of my client, I have written several letters to the
embassy with intent to locate any of his extended relatives whom shall be
claimants/beneficiaries of his abandoned personal estate and all such
efforts have been to no avail. I had to inform the finance company about my
fruitless
effort in locating my late client close relative or his next of kin. The
board of directors of the company just adopted a resolution and I was
mandated to provide his next of kin for the payment of this money within the
next 15 official working days or forfeit the money as an abandoned funds.
The company had planned to invoke the abandoned property decree of the
company to confiscate the funds after the expiration of the period given me.
Also I have received official letters in the last two days suggesting a
likely proceeding for confiscation of his abandoned personal assets in line
with existing laws of the institution.
Well I have reason very professionally and I can use a legal means to
present a next of kin of my deceased client. This is legally possible and
would be done in accordance with the laws of the land. On this note I
decided to search for a credible person and finding that you bear a similar
last name, I was urged to contact you, that I may, with your consent,
present you to the "trustee" as my late client's family member so as to
enable you put up a claim to the bank in that capacity as a next of kin of
my client. I find this possible for the fuller reasons that you are of the
same nationality and you bear a similar last name with my late client making
it a lot easier for you to put up a claim in that capacity. I have all vital
documents that would confer you the legal right to make this claim and would
make them available to you so that the proceeds of this bank account valued
at £9.8million can be paid to you before it gets confiscated or declared
unserviceable to the bank where this huge amount is lodged.
I do sincerely sympathize the death of my client but I think it is
unprofitable for his funds to be submitted to the government of this country
or some financial institution. My aim is to retrieve this funds and let it
be claimed by the deceased family name, etc. for this I seek your assistance
since I have been unable to locate the relatives for the past 6year now and
since no one has come for the claim. I seek your consent to present you as
the next of kin of the deceased since you have the same last name giving you
the advantage so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you. Then
we talk percentage. I know there might be other persons out there with the
same surname
as my last client, but after a little check my instinct tells me to contact
you. Can I trust you on
this? I shall assemble all the necessary documents that will be used to back
up your claim.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of law. I will not fail to bring to your
notice that this proposal is hitch-free and that you should not entertain
any fears as the required arrangements have been made for the completion of
this transfer. Like I said, I require only a solemn confidentiality on this.
Please get in touch with me for better confidentiality and send to my
private mail:kelvin_hendricks@personal.ro your telephone and fax numbers to
enable us discuss further on this transaction. My contact number is
+44783679027 if this proposal is acceptable by you, do not take undue
advantage of the trust I have bestowed in you,
Thanks for your understanding.
Kind Regards.
KELVIN HENDRICKS
