Subject: I WILL ANTICIPATE YOUR QUICK RESPONSE
TAMMY ANDY& ASSOCIATES,
SOLICITORS, NOTARY & LEGAL CONSULTANTS,
50 CREEK ROAD, LAGOS.
Attention Sir/Ma,
I am Barrister Tammy Andy Eze, Solicitor and Advocate at Law. I am the
personal Lawyer to Petroleum-Engr. R. T. Aron who died a couple of years
ago. He was the Site/Projects Director to a oil servicing company here in my
country until death. Referred to as my client on April 21, 2000 and was
involved in a auto crash two (2)years ago along Sagamu expressway with two
of his personal aids.
Since then several inquiries to his embassy to locate the wife or any of his
extended relatives has been unfruitful, i have personally contacted the oil
firm over and again regarding the matter and this has also proved
unsuccessful as they have tried to no avail.
After these several attempts, i decided to trace his last name over the
Internet and i am contacting you to assist in repatriating the money and
property left behind by my late client before it is confiscated or declared
unserviceable by the Bank where the fund is laying.
The deceased had an account valued at about US$6.4 (Six Million Four Hundred
United States Dollars Only) and i have been issued a notice to provide the
Next of Kin or they will have the account confiscated within the next ten
official working days. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the
relatives for over a year now, i have decided to contact you based on the
fact that your name is similar to my client's name, I am seeking your
consent to present you as the Next Of Kin.
You can claim the fund as soon as i present you as beneficiary/next of kin,
and the bank will normalize the release of the fund to you immediately. You
must note that a little expenses will be encountered for the procurement of
the necessary documents of claim so that the bank cannot question you or
doubt if you are a true relation as you will claim and at the end 55% of the
total amount will be mine, 40% to You while 5% takes care of the outstanding
expenses encountered during the transfer.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing this deal
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you and me from any breach of the law.
YOURS SINCERELY,
BARRISTER TAMMY ANDY EZE.
NB: Note that I have considerably decided to contact you to assist me
because you share a similarity in name and because you are based abroad so
it will be very easy for you to claim this fund from the bank.
NB : Kindly send all your reply to my personal mail
