Subject: Hello
Dear Sir,
I am Barrister John Falana ,a solicitor at law and a personal attorney to
Mr Fedinard K. Blumenthal here in after shall be referred to as my client.
My client worked as an independent contractor with the Shell Development
Company here in Niger Delta.
On the 21st of April 2000 my client, his wife and their only daughter were
involved in a car accident
along Warri express Road and all occupants of the vehicle unfortunately
lost there lives.
Since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of my clients extended
relatives this has also proved unsuccessful.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating consignment valued at Twenty
Eight Million United
States Dollars only($US28,000,000.00) left behind by my client with a bank
in Spain before it gets confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Holding
bank where these funds was deposited.
The Manager of the bank contacted me on friday 15-08-2003 and asked that
I as the attorney to Mr F.k. Blumenthal (Late) should present either his
cousins or his next of kin so that they will release the consignment left
in their
custody by him to them.
Ever since then, I have made several attempts to locate any of his cousins
or next of kin so that they will come forward to put in claims to the said
funds but unfortunately, I discovered that in all his files with my chambers,
he never mentioned having any relatives nor
cousin.
After several attempts to trace any of his relative, I decided to search
over the internet in
search of his cousins hence I contacted you. One fact remains clear, that
anybody I present to bank as his next of kin,
shall inherit the money and it is based on this fact that I ask you to get
back to me immediately so that we both will discuss on terms of partnership
in this issue so that I will forward your information to the bank as his
legitimate next of kin backed up with a sworn affidavit of oath from the
high court of Nigeria.
Be advised that this transaction is 100% risk-free as this transaction will
remain sealed for life at the
conclusion which will not take more than two weeks to conclude.
I await your immediate response so that I will give you a more comprehensive
detail as regards to this
transaction.
I am waiting for your call and your email response.
