Dear Weston,
With due respect i wish to introduce myself as Barrister Hank Salami, an
advocate/ solicitor at-law;
I am the personal attorney to Mr. Alexander Weston, who pass away with his
wife
in a car accident on May 25th 2002. Here in after referred to as my client.
My late client before his death was an Oil Consultant to NAXPET NIG LTD
and before his death he made a fixed deposit of USD $ 6.5 Million Dollars
with a Finance Firm which i was a witness.
I have for the past 3 years search for my client’s beneficiary and
also waited for any of his relations to forward a claim to me which up
till this present day, no one has ever come or forwarded up a claim as his
Next Of Kin/Beneficiary.
Please may i seek for your consent as the attorney to my late clients
to present you to the finance firm where the sum of USD $ 6.5M Dollars was
deposited by my late clients so that the proceedings of my late
client’s accounts will be paid to you?
Furthermore, I decided to contact you due to the fact that you bear the
same LAST NAME with my late clients.
I need your assistance urgently because the finance firm, where the
fund is deposited has issued me as his attorney with a notice to provide the
next of kin/Beneficiary or have the account confiscated within the next
Twenty-Eight official working days.
All i require from you is to get ready a bank account in your name or
companies name where the money will be transferred to and also your
acceptance to stand as the Next of Kin to my late clients.
I promise to give you 40% of the money for your assistance while 60%
will be for me as his attorney.
Upon the transfer of this money to your account, I will come to your
country on your invitation to take my share.
Looking forward to your urgent response by updating me with your Full
Name,and telephone Number for easy communication.
Please indicate your interest by replying this mail via my private
emailaddress:ask_hanksalami_lawchambers@yahoo.com
Awaiting Your Immediate Response.
Barrister Hank Salami.
