Dear Friend,
Happy New Year to you and your entire family.
First, Let me start by introducing myself properly to you. I am Barrister
James Dele, a solicitor and attorney at law. I am the personal Attorney
to Late Engr.RICHARD BEASLEY, a national of your country, who worked with
an Oil Servicing and Exploration Company, here in Nigeria. My client, Late
Engr.RICHARD BEASLEY Died In an Auto crash On the 21st of April 2001 with
his wife and their two children While returning from Port Hartcourt to Lagos
where they where residing.
My client Deposited the sum of $5m in a Local Bank here in Nigeria, before
his untimely death, whose Deposit Certificate was kept under my care as
his personal Lawyer. He had wanted to transfer this fund to his country
as soon as he is on leave, but his hope was cut down because he died before
carrying out his wishes.
As his personal Attorney, Since his death I have made several enquiries
to locate any of his extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts to locate any of his relatives,
I decided to contact you so that you and I can work together in repatriating
the money left behind by my late client.
Meanwhile, I got to know of you in my private search for a reliable and
reputable person to handle this transaction and your email address was
given to me by the Chamber Of Commerce here in Nigeria. I have contacted
you to assist in repatriating the money left behind by my late client before
his account get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Bank where
this fund was Deposited. Presently, the Bank has issued me a notice to provide
the Next Of Kin of my Late Client or have his account confiscated within
the next (14) official working days, mandated by the Bank, failure to provide
the next of kin within this period the fund will be declared as UNCLAIMED
FUND.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for some couple
of years now, I seek your consent to present you as the Next Of Kin of
the deceased, so that the proceeds of his account valued at $5million dollars
can be paid to you and then you and me can share the money.
1. 30% of the money will go to you for acting as the beneficiary of the
fund.
2. 10% will be set aside for reimbursement to both parties for any expenses
that may be incurred in the course of the transfer, including any taxes
to be demanded by your government.
3. 60% will come to me as the originator of the transaction.
All legal documents and proves to back up our claim will be provided when
necessary. All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this
transaction through and to reclaim the fund deposited by my client rather
than allowing the Bank to hold on to the fund and declare it UNCLAIMED.
I guarantee that this transaction will be carried out under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you and I from any breach of law.
Hence, If this proposal is OK by you and you do not wish to take undue advantage
of the trust, I hope to bestow on you. Then kindly get back to me immediately,
strictly via my private email address only: James.Dele@email.ro to enable
me enlighten you on how we are to proceed. I will not contact any person
or company until I hear from you, so as to enable me decide on what to do
next.
Awaiting your prompt kind response.
Thanks.
Best regards,
Barrister James Dele
NB: PLEASE NOTE THAT IT DOES NOT MATTER WETHER YOU ARE RELATED TO MY LATE
CLIENT OR NOT, SINCE I AM PRESENTING YOU AS HIS NEXT OF KIN THE FUND WILL
BE PAID TO YOU, BASED ON THE FACT THAT I WAS HIS PERSONAL ATTORNEY, SO WHOEVER
I PRESENT WILL BE PAID.
