PROPOSAL FOR BUSINESS OF MUTUAL BENEFIT
It is my privileged to capture your names from the internet. My name is
Barr. Ken Williams. A legal practitioner and the personal Attorney/financial
adviser to late Mr.Adams Dipietro, a
foreigner who died along with his wife and his Two sons in a ghastly motor
accident along boulevard des Moulins express in August 13,2002.All the
occupants in the vehicle lost their
Lives. I am convinced that it was the grace of God that made me to locate
you. My client was a successful and an accomplished family man, who made
enough fortune before his
untimely death. Since then I had made several inquiries through Embassy
to locate any of my
clients extended relative but this exercise has proved unsuccessful. After
several unsuccessful
attempts, I decided to trace his relatives through the Internet, to locate
any
member of his
family not much progress was recorded. My late client was an influential
wealthy businessman,
a Petroleum broker and he left behind a deposit of EIGHTEEN MILLION FIVE
HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS ONLY($18,500,000.00 USD) in his
domiciliary bank account in a
commercial bank
IN ABROAD.
After the death of my client his bankers contacted me, as his Attorney/Financial
Adviser to
provide his NEXT OF KIN who should inherit his fortune. The board of directors
of his bank
adopted a resolution and I was mandated to provide his next of kin for
the
payment of this
money within 14 working days or forfeit the money to the bank as an abandoned
property.
The bankers had planned to invoke the abandoned property decree of 1996
to
confiscate the funds
after the expiration of the period given to me.
Despairing at the point of exhaustiveness, fortunately, I came across your
name, to my utmost
amazement , you are nationals of the same country. Convinced that you may
be
linked with my late
client or that you might provide clue to my search, I therefore, decided
to
contact you with
these facts before me because of the situation now. By virtue of my closeness
to the deceased
and his immediate family, I am very much aware of my client financial
standing
and the bank
account he operates.
I have reasoned very professionally and I feel it will be legally proper
to
present you as the
next of kin of my deceased client, so that you can be paid the funds left
in
his bank account,
hence I contacted you.
I seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin to the Deceased since
you
are at an
advantage as a foreigner too, so that the proceeds of this Bank Account
valued
at $18.5 Million
Dollars can be paid to you. We shall both share the funds. 55% to me and
35% to
you, while 10%
should be for Expenses or Tax as your Government may require, I shall assemble
all the
necessary Legal Documents that will be used to back up our claim .
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you
From any breach of law. Please get in touch with me through my private
email: kenkendodowilliams2@yahoo.it
By Acknowledging the receipt of this mail.
Best regard.
Barrister Ken Williams.
Solicitor and advocate
