URGENT ASSISTANCE.
Dear friend,
I am Frank Ibru, Personal Attorney to the late Mr Patrick Yao, a foreign
construction engineer who was resident here in Nigeria.My client died with
his family while on Vacation at Phuket Island in Thailand in December 2004.Asia
Earth Quake Disaster(TSUNAMI DISASTER)
http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2004/tsunami.disaster/ On the 6th of January
2005,I recieved a phone call as his personal Attorney which broke the tragic
news of my clients death in the Tsunami disaster. Since then I have made
several enquiries to locate any of his extended relatives.This has proved
unsuccessful.After several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his
relatives over the internet hence I contacted you.
I seek your consent and assistance in repartriating money left behind by
my late client before it gets confiscated or declared unserviceable by the
bank where the deposit is lodged. The deposit is valued US$9,500,000.00
(Nine Million,Five Hundred and Fifty ThousandUnited States Dollars only)
and it is lodged with Trans International Bank Plc.
The bank has issued me an ultimatum to present a next-of-kin of the deceased
to inherit the funds or have the account declared serviceable two weeksago.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 hereby seek your consent to present you to the bank as next-of-kin of
the deceased, so that the proceeds of this account valued US$9,500,000.00
can be transferred to you as inheritance, and thereafter you and me will
share the money; 50% to me and 45% to you, while 5% will be donated to the
Tsunami Disaster Charity Fund.
I have necessary legal documents that will be used to support claim of the
inheritance from the bank. All I require is your honest co-operation to
enable us see the transaction through. I guarantee that the transaction
will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from
any breach of the law.
To commence the process of claiming the funds, I will require the following
information from you,
1.Your Full names.
2.Your Telephone and fax numbers.
3.Your Contact address.
4.Your Date of birth.
5.Your Occupation.
As soon as I recieve these information I will file-in a formal application
to the bank for the inheritance in your name as next-of-kin of the deceased.That
will enable the bank to process the transaction with you as beneficiary
and remit the funds in your name as (Inheritor).
Thank you.
Yours faithfully,
Barrister Frank Ibru.
