URGENT ASSISTANCE.
Good Day,
I am Frank Abule, Personal Attorney to the late Mr.Patrick .J, 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.l got your contact from the Nigeria
Chambers and Commence.
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$10,500,000.00 (Ten Million,Five Hundred and Fifty
Thousand United 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 weeks
ago.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 nextof-kin of the
deceased, so that the proceeds of this account valued US$10,500,000.00 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 Abule.
