PROPOSAL
Dear Sir/Madam,
Compliments of the day and how are you doing today?
My Name is Barrister Pius Ego of the above address and personal Attorney to one late mr.Peter craig a national of your country, he died on his way to a seminar in auto crash on the 10th day of October 2002.My late client was the Chief Executive officer of {African development Oil Company} for 25 years and he was retired on the 30th day of September
2002.
He was re-contracted as a petroleum consultant to the company before this unfortunately incident occured on the above date just after a month.
He left all his credentials with my chamber for the drafting of his new contract agreement that will bind his new contract with african
development company.
Before his death my client made a numbered time (fixed) deposit for twelve calendar months valued at US$7.5M with the International Trust bank of Nigeria plc with open beneficiary and No one will ever come forward to claim this fund since his sudden death and according to Nigerian banking law the money will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian government if the account owner is certified dead and nobody comes forward to claim it after five
years.
So far the bank has just written my chamber aroutine notification to provide the next of kin of my late Peter Craig or have the account confiscated within the next ten official workingdays.This situation is presently giving me a serious concern as to what i should do to safeguard this ($7.5m)from this bank rules.
I want to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since i dont want the government to confiscate this fund, we will share the
USD$7.5million dollars on 50% 50% basis ones we are through ok. Pls i want to urge you to view this mail with every sense of responsibility of
purpose and treat your response with despatch.
Kindly reply on receipt of this mail through our Financial attorney
Chamber Martins Email box (barr_chamber_martins10@yahoo.co.uk) or
(barr_chambermartins@walla.com ) only the basis of your acceptance to assist me in this transaction, you should include your direct contact phone nos where we can open communications with you.
Thanks
Barrister Pius Ego
