Good Morning
BE THE NEXT OF KIN TO MY LATE CLIENT
May the love and peace of God be with you and your family. I am Barrister
Frederick Williams, a solicitor at law. I am the Personal Attorney to
Engr.Peter Williams, a National of Chile, who has lived in my country for
the past ten years, and who hereinafter shall be referred to as my client.
In May 4, 2002, an Air Crash involving an Executive Airline Service
(EAS)BAC-1-11 Aircraft in Gwammaja Quarters, a densely populated area in
Kano State claiming the lives of about 102 persons both on board and
innocent persons around the Gwammaja Quarters. My client and his family
happen to be among the crashed victims.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating most especially, the money
left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared
unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits were lodged.
Particularly, the Citadel Finance and Securities Group where the deceased
had an account valued at about USD4, 150,000.00 (Four million, one hundred
and fifty thousand United States Dollars only) has issued me a notice to
provide the Next of kin,or have the account confiscated. The request of a
foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the
customer was a foreigner.
I therefore seek your consent to present you as the Next of kin of the
deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at 4.150 million
dollars can be paid to you, as my client's Next of Kin, so that you and me
can share the amount on a mutual agreed percentage.
All legal documents to back up your claim, as the deceased Next of Kin will
be provided. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this
deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Note that it does not necessarily matter, whether you are biologically
related to the deceased or not. What matters in this case is your
willingness and capability to handle the transaction to a succesful
completion. As you can bear with me, a next of kin to one, may be a Parent,
Sister, Brother,Close Relative, Associate, Friend or even a Well-wisher. So,
whether you are related to him or not is never a barrier to your kinship in
the transaction. Rather, what matters is your willingness and capability to
handle the transaction with utmost maturity.
Please direct your reply strictly to: FWConsults@latinmail.com
I await your most urgent response so as to enable us discuss further about
this transaction and your entitlement on the transaction.
Best regards,
FREDERICK WILLIAMS (Esq.)
