Compliments,
I am Barrister Stephen Hockman, a solicitor at law in London, I was educated
at Eltham College and Jesus College in United Kingdom, and I am the
Personal attorney to Mr. John, a national of your country, who uses to work
with (A PETROLEUM OIL COMPANY). My client Mr. John Was born on the 23rd of
March 1960 and he died on a motor accident with his family, his wife and 3
kids. He died on 21st April 2002 His Parents are late and he is the only
child of his parents, Before he died he deposited the sum of $15 million in
Platinum Habib Bank with the hope of transferring it to his country before
he will be on leave, Since his death I have made several inquiries to your
embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives this has also proved
Unsuccessful. After the several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to Contact
you. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property
left behind by my client before they get declared unserviceable by the
security company where the deposit was made.
Now the Platinum Habib Bank has issued me a notice to provide the next of
kin or have the money declared unserviceable within the next ten official
working days. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for
over four months now. I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin
of the deceased or the person that will represent him as a relative, so that
the proceeds of this deposit can be sent to you and then you and I can share
the money 50% to me and 50% to you I am trying to be very careful about what
is going round in the world, about African's fraud? I hope you are not among
them, and I Hope you are an honest and trustworthy person.
