Hello Holland,
RE:THE DEATH OF MY CLIENT AND HIS UNCLAIMED DEPOSIT
I definitely know that this message will come as a very big surprise to you.I have been trying to get someone I will trust on the above subject refers. In fact, before now I don't know you and probably you will feel the same way too.I got to know your contact on my quest to locate my deceased client relative(s).
First of all,I am Barrister Jonathan Yomi Nassa-Liberian based in Cote d'Ivoire and also an attorney to Dr. Holland,who was working with the Tourism Development Centre, Cocody here in Abidjan. He happens to be my client and a very close friend before he died with his wife and only child Jnr during the crisis in May 10, 1998. My client knowing my parental background when he was alive as an African trusted me as his Lawyer and a brother too. We shared a lot of secrets because he was a very great man. When these good relationship was going on I never knew he was going to die so quick. May his gentle soul
and that of his wife and Jnr rest in perfect peace Amen.
Furthermore, because of my sincere relationship with my deceased client I have tried through thick and tin, various means and also prayed as a Christian to locate any of his relative because of the large sum he deposited in a bank in Italy through a bank in Nigeria. However,all my effort was in vain.I have written to the bank in Nigeria through which he made the DEPOSIT to Italy but the Bank asked meto present his Next of Kin.I have also tried to contact the bank in Italy but the bank said I should reconcile with the
bank in Nigeria before they will release the deposit to the next of kin.Honestly I don't know exactly what to do now since the deposit has been long over due to roll over or melted.
A deposit of US$21Million was made through a Domicilliary Account in his local bank Afribank Nigeria Plc to their affiliate bank in Italy.And there was no any Next of Kin for the deposit but he included my name as his personal Lawyer. Last week the bank has notified me to come forward with the Next of Kin(relative)since my client died intestate with his
nuclear family.
I will be very happy to ask for your sincere cooperation to claim the deposit of my deceased client on a 50/50% basis since I can not locate any of his relative uptill this moment.And for the fact that I can not claim the deposit alone because of my name and nationality.I will also like to let you know that we are going to share the expenses that we will incur in the process of going to Nigeria to get all the documents processed in their High Court,Probate Court and in the Bank to MAKE SURE that our CLAIM is 100% LEGAL/GENINUE. At this very stage it is my duty as a Lawyer to perfect it's legality without
any risk.
Please note,this information is a very top one which I have NEVER revealed or shared with any body living or dead.I hope you will keep this piece of infomation to yourself. Having said that,I hope it will interest you also to know that I am ready to work perfectly with you as the Next of Kin considering the fact that I am his Lawyer and any body I present to the bank is the person they will except.I will be very glad to receive your positive/urgent
reply so that I can make arrangement to fly to Nigeria for the processing of the documents of the deposit in your favour.
Please I will like you to call me or you can include your direct telephone number in your reply mail where I can call you for more information.Attached is my International passport for your perusal/confirmation.
Regards.
Yours truly,
Barrister Jonathan Yomi Nassa.
