Subject: YOUR URGENT ATENTION NEEDED.
Dear Friend,
Firstly, not to cause you embarrassment, I am Barrister RAPH COLLINS, a
Solicitor at law and the personal attorney to named GERALD WELSH who
died in an air crash along with his wife on the 31st October 1999 in an
Egyptian airline boeing 990 with other passengers on board. You can
confirm this fact from the website which was aired by the BBC WORLD NEWS:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm
Since his death, none of his relations or persons have come forward to
lay claims to his this funds as next-of-kin, and on my own i have made
concerted effort to locate any of his relatives but all prove abortive,
which makes me to believe that maybe nobody of his knows that he was
operating this foreign account with and Insurance broking firm here in
Nigeria. Based on the ethics and policies of the Deposit holding firm,
this funds will be declared unclaimed funds and taken to the treasury of
the bank as capital base of the bank, because already the account has
been tagged dormant because it has exceeded the normal functional number
of years.
Inspite of the above please do bear in mind that l have made several
enquiries with his country's embassies to locate any of my clients
extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several
unsuccessful attempts, I decided to contact you with this business
partnership proposal. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating a huge
amount of money left behind by my client before they get confiscated or
declared unserviceable by the Finance/Security Company where these huge
deposit was lodged.
The deceased had a deposit valued presently at $30.5million (Thirty
Million, Five Hundred Thousand United State Dolars) and the Company has
issued me a notice to provide his next of kin or Beneficiary by Will
otherwise have the account confiscated within the next sixty official
working days. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for
over 3years now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin /
Will Beneficiary to the deceased so that the proceeds of this account
valued at $30.5 Million US dollars can be paid to you. This will be
disbursed or shared in these percentages, 60% to meand 40% to you.
I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any
claim we may make. All I require is your honest Co-operation,
Confidentiality and Trust to enable us see this transaction through. I
guarantee
you that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will
protect you from any breach of the law. PLEASE DO GET IN TOUCH WITH ME
URGENTLY BY E-mail.
And please provide me the following: This is to enable me commence
immediate preparation of all legal document that will back up our claim.
1. Full Name :
2. Your Telephone Number and Fax Number
3. Your Contact Address.
Your urgent response will be highly anticipated and appreciated.
