Greetings Dear Friend,
I am Barrister Rashidi Jacob, of the above chambers. I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us. I need your trust and also solicit a honorable partnership together.
I was a personal lawyer to a deceased person who died in the Egyptian airline flight 990 that crashed on 31 october 1999.
SEE http://www.greatdreams.com/PassEAir990.htm
He had an account with the Financier Bank Plc, which has been dormant without any claim either from his family or relatives. The bank has searched to transfer to any of his relatives but to no avail. As his personal lawyer I was directed to search for any of his relatives who will put in claim as the next of kin for the transfer of this fund.I have searched for the past six months and could not locate any of his relatives.Now the bank wants to confiscate this fund to the Government if no claims were made.I do not want this to happen to my clients fund just because he is dead.The said amount is USD$25,521.000 (Twenty five Million five hundred and twenty one thousand United States dollars. (Plus interest)
As his personal lawyer I can not have this fund transferred to my account .This is the reason why it requires another party who will forward claims as the next of kin of the deceased with affidavit of trust of oath to this bank.The fund on arrival in your account,shall be invested through your agency in the purchase of facility and assets for investment purposes within your country.
This transaction will result in your being paid a commission of 20% off the dormant capital and another 5% for your expenses. This chamber desire absolute confidentiality and professionalism in the handling of this matter.
I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible stating your wish in this deal.
Yours Sincerely,
Barrister Rashidi Jacob Akim
