DEAR Sir/ Madam
It is my privilege to capture your names from south africa chamber of
commerce my name is
barrister George carlos a legal practitioner and the personal Attorney to
late :Mr.TONY CHEN
, a national of your country who died along with his wife and his Two sons
in a ghastly motor accident along Port louis-Reduit express in August 13,
2002.All the occupants in the vehicle lost their lives.
I am convinced that it was the grace of God that made me to locate you. My
client was a successful and accomplished family man, who made enough
fortune before his untimelydeath. Since then I had made several inquiries
through your Embassy to locate any of my clients extended relative but this
exercise has proved unsuccessful.
After several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives
through the Internet, to locate any member of his family not much progress
was recorded. My late client was an influential wealthy businessman, an Gold
magnet here in South Africa and he left behind a deposit of fifteen Million
United States Dollar($15 000,000.00USD) in his domiciliary bank account in
acommercial bank here in South Africa.
After the death of my client his bankers contacted me, as his Attorney to
provide his next of kin who should inherit his fortune. The board of
directors of his bank adopted a resolution and I was mandated to provide
his next of kin for the payment of this money within 28 working days or
forfeit the money to the bank as an abandoned property. The bankers had
planned to invoke the abandoned property decree of 1996 to confiscate the
funds after the expiration of the period given to me.
I therefore,decided to contact you with these facts before me because of the
situation now . By virtue of my closeness to the deceased and his immediate
family, I am very much aware of my client financial standing and the bank
account he operates. I have reasoned very professionally and I feel it will
be legally proper to present you as the next of kin of my deceased client,so
that you can be paid the funds left in his bank account, hence I contacted
you. I seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin to the Deceased
since you are at an advantage as nationals from the same country, so that
the proceeds of this Bank Account valued at $15 Million Dollars can be paid
to you.
we shall both share the funds. 55% to me and 40% to you, while 5% should be
for Expenses or Tax as your Government may require, I shall assemble all the
necessary Legal Documents that will be used to back up our claim .All I
require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under alegitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of law.
Please get in touch with me by telephone27-83-73-666-54 or email to enable
us discuss further.
Best Regards
Barrister.George Carlos
