Attention:The President/CEO.
I am barrister Fredrick Imoh(Esq.), an English speaking Senegalese
Solicitor & Financial Attorney/Consultant.I was the personal attorney to
late Jeoge Klaus who was an expatriate mining consultant/contractor
withTeaser Petroleum Corporation in St Louis-Senegal.Mr. Jeorg Klaus
here-in-after referred as my client was also a Diamond/Gold Merchant.
Mr.Jeorg Klaus made a numbered time (Fixed) deposit for
US$12,500,000.00 (Twelve Million Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars Only)
in a bank in Dakar, capital of Senegal with standing statement/agreement
with the bank that all correspondences in respect to the fixed deposit
contract must be sent to him through my humble chambers. Upon maturity,
the routine notification was sent to me whom I dispatched to his
forwarding address as usual without no reply. After a month, I sent
areminder which I received from the bank without any reply again.
Finally, I discovered from my client's contract employers- Teaser
Petroleum Corporation that he died among many others in the Kenya
Airways flight of 31st January, 2000 that crashed into the Atlantic Ocean in
Abidjan, Cote D'Ivoire. On further investigations, I found out that he
died without making any WILL and all attempts to trace his next of kin was
fruitless. I also discovered that Mr.Jeorg Klaus did not declare any
kin or relations in all his official documents, including his fixed
deposit contract with the bank in Dakar-Senegal.
I am contacting you based on the official letter I just received from
his bankers reminding me that Senegalese law states that at the
expiration of 5 (five) years the money will revert to the ownership of
the Senegalese Government.If I do not confirm the next of kin to claim
the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to
stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Jeorg Klaus so that the fruits of
this old man's labor will not go into the hands of some corrupt
government officials. Note that this transaction is simple and risk free
because I will provide expert legal services that will guarantee the
successful execution of this deal.
I wish to point out that after the claims, I would want 20% of this
money to be shared among charity organizations, while the remaining 80%
is shared equally between us. Most importantly, I would also require your
assistance towards investing my share in your country or anywhere as
you may advice.
If you are interested, please contact me via my email address
:fredrick_imoh@myway.com.Upon your response, I shall provide you with
more details and how we shall proceed with the claims. I expect you to
observe utmost confidentiality and be rest assured that this transaction
would be profitable for both of us.
Awaiting your urgent reply via my email.
Thanks & Regards
Dr.Fredrick Imoh (Esq.)
