COMPLIMENT MY GOOD FRIEND
I am Barrister Anorld Beck , an American, a solicitor at law and attorney to Mr. Mike Mar who used to work with ChevronOil Producing Company in Nigerea. Mr Mike Mar deposited $35,255million dollars with the National Diamond bank plc. Hereinafter shall be referred to as my client. On the January 30 ,2000 Kenya Airways jet (Airbus 310) crash into the sea shortly after take-off fromAbidjan, Ivory Coast. My Client died with his wife and only daughter in the fatal plane crash. 169 people unfortunately lost their lives in the plane crash. Since then the bank mandated me to get in touch with the beneficiary of my late client's estate. I have made several inquiries to your embassy here to locate any
of my client's extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track over the Internet,
to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you. I have contacted
you to assist in repatriating the fund valued at US$35,255million Left behind by my client before it gets Confiscated or declared unserviceable by the National
Diamond bank plc where this huge amount were deposited. The said bank has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated with in the next twenty one official working days.
For the fact that I have been unsuccessful in locating the
relatives for over 3years now, I seek the consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you.
Therefore, on receipt of your positive response, we shall
then discuss the modalities for transfer. I can assist in procuring the necessary information and legal documents that may be needed to actualize this proposal.
All I require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transactions through. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Please reply to(destinysolicitor1@lawyer.com
