Subject: Mutual Assistance Needed
Kind Attention:Sir,
I am Barrister Moboyo Jacob a Solicitor. I am the Personal Attorney to Engr.Jake J Hans, who used to be an oil field merchant in South Africa.
On the 24th of August 1999, my client, his wife and their three children were involved in a car accident along Cape Town Express Road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost there lives.
Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy here in my country to locate any of my client‘s extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives over the Internet, to locate any member of his family but to no avail, hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by
my client before they get confisticated or declared unserviceable by the bankwhere this huge deposits were lodged.
As soon as I hear from you, we shall discuss the mordalities of processing this money in your favour,
hence it has become obvious that the later has no relatives.
Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an account valued at exactly $20.5m (Twenty million Five hundred thousand dollars) has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next ten official working
days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2 years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at $20.5m (Twenty million Five hundred thousand dollars) can be paid to you and then you and I can share the money in an agreeable percentage that we shall reach as we progress.
I have all necessary legal documents that can be used
to back up any claim we may make.
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 the law.
Please get in touch with me via email to enable us discuss further on the modalities for executing this project.
Best regards,
BARR. Moboyo Jacob
