Subject: Next Of Kin Needed........
Barr.Donald Coker. BARRISTER.DONALD COKER,L.L.B. L.L.M B.L LEGAL
PRACTITIONER AND CONSULTANT MEMBER HUMAN-RIGHT
CONSTITUTION DRAFTING COMMITTEE 2004.
Dear Friend,
I am Barr.Donald Coker, An Attorney at Law,citizen and
resident in Nigeria. I am the Personal Attorney to MR.M
POUND,a stock Broker who also deals on comodities
[petroleum products and solid minerals], whom I
believe is a National of your country. This client of
mine died on Feruary 11th,2003.
He died with the family on a car crash along
Hilakondji express motor way(border between BENIN
REPUBLIC and REPUBLIC TOGO) since then I have been in
a legal tussle with the Authority to locate the family
of my late client but this has not worked yet.
My late client had a "life assurance with his family
under an insurance firm.The insurance firm has written
me for claim of his "life policy" worth of
US$18.900,000.00 (Eighteen Million, Nine hundred
Thousand US Dollars,after his death.Since then I have
made several inquiris to locate any of his extended
relatives but this has proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided
to trace his last name over the Internet, to locate
any member of his family. This also not possible. I
therefore, decided to contact you to assist in
claiming of the money from the insurance firm as his
next-of-kin.
I therefore, seek your consent to present you as the
next of kin to the deceased so that the money
US$18.900m will be paid to you through your
account, then both of us will share the money.
I have agree to offer you 40% of the total money
as the account holder,10% for miscellaneous expenses
that may be incurred in the process either locally
or international, while I take 50%.
Note that all the neccesary legal documents will be in
place to back up the claims. All I require is your
honest co-operation to enable us see this deal
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under
a legitimate arrangement that will protect both of us
from any breach of the law.
Once I have your consent and trust,I will immediately
raise all necesary documents and instruct the
insurance firm to reach their paying bank to process
and effect payment through the account information
provided by you.Furthermore,you can as well contact me
through my personal phone and email.
