Attn: Cees Tol,
With due regards, I am Sir Benedict Nduka (Esq), a solicitor at law. I am the personal counsel to Mr. Donald Tol who was an underwater welding and fabrication contractor with Shell oil firm here in Niger-Delta region Nigeria.
Until date, my late client was divorsed to his wife for 5 years now which left him with no immediate family as the wife and 2 children left him a long time ago. He was diagnosed for Lung cancer, which defiled all medical attention and eventually took his life on the 7th of september 2002.
I am the only authorised person who can present anyone as the beneficiary to my late client's estate, that is why i have taken it as my resposibility to get someone to present as next of kin to late Donald before this deposits gets unserviceable. Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy here to locate any of my clients extended relatives since i could not get any of his immediate family , this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, In my desprate search for urgent assistance, I decided to track his last name over the foreign mission guestbook, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist in pulling the deposit valued at NINETEEN MILLION TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS left behind by my client before it's declared unserviceable by the Finance House, where this huge amount was deposited.
Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for about 2 years now, I seek the consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased, so that the proceeds of this deposit can be released to you. Therefore, on receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss in details the mordalities of the transfer.
I have all necessary information and legal documents needed to back you up for the claim. All I require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect us from breach of the law in your country nor that of mine.
For prompt response, kindly get in touch with me via my alternative email address stated thus; benedict_nduka25@yahoo.com or call for verbal update. Urgent response to this letter will be proudly appreciated.
Best Regards.
B. Nduka (Esq)
