Subject: From Barrister Andy Kola
I have a new email address!You can now email me at: andykola.barrister@yahoo.com
- I am Barrister Andy Kola the personal attorney/confidant to the Late DR. GEORGE BRUMLEY, a citizen of Atlanta, United States of America but naturalized in South Africa and contractor with Anglo Gold.Before his untimely death wih his entire family,he had an account with a bank worth $10.5M, he confided to me that his estate will be shared amongst his children but unfortunately none of his families survived the Plan Crash.Since the bank got the information about his death, They have been expecting me as the only attorney/confidant to present any of his next of kin or business associate to come and claim his money because it cannot be released unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or business associate to the deceased as indicated in the banking guidelines but unfortunately, all his supposed next of kin or relation died along with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. You can read more about the crash on visiting this site: http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/07/20/kenya.crash/index.html.It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business proposal to have you presented to the bank as the next of kin or business associate to my late Client.The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remains dormant after six years; the money will be transferred into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request for your assistance and maximum co-operation as a foreign citizen is highly needed to release this fund into your account for the two of us. I will like us to share this money mutually on two equal halves between me and you . Please note that I don’t have any asses to withdraw any cent from this money due to the money was insured by the owner DR. GEORGE BRUMLEY. I will indulge you at this point to understand that this is privileged information and must be strictly confidential. Please reply to this. Best Regards
