CHUKWUJI'S CHAMBERS
BARRISTER SAM CHUKWUJI (SAN)
LEGAL PRACTITIONER, SOLICITOR & ADVOCATE
22 TUNDE STREET IKOYI,
LAGOS NIGERIA.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Barrister Sam Chukwuji(SAN), personal attorney to a national of
your country, who used to work with Osusu Construction Company Nig.
ltd. here in Nigeria herein after, shall be referred to as my client.
My client with his entire family (The wife and Two children) were
involved in the bomb explosion in Lagos, Nigeria, on January 27th,
2002 which claim many lives and property. Unfortunately, my client
and the family lost their lives in that disaster that needed not to
have happened. Since then I have made several enquiries to your
embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has
also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his
last name over the Internet, to locate any member of his family
hence I contacted you.
My purpose of contacting you is to assist in repatriating the funds
left behind by my client prior to his death before they get
confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Finance company where
this huge deposit were lodged in,where the deceased had an account
valued at about US$13 million.
The company had issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or
have the account confiscated within the next 14 official working
days. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for
over one year, now I seek your consent as the next of kin of the
deceased since you have the samelast name/surname so that the
proceeds of this account valued at US$13 million can be paid to you,
I will provide all the necessary official and legal documents that
can be used to back up your claim.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable me as the legal
attorney to the deceased in seeing that you receive your inherited
fund, I guarantee that this will be executed legitimately to protect
you from any breach of the law.
You can find informations about the January 27th, 2002 Bomb
Explosion on the website below.
