Dear
With due regards
I am Barrister Ugo James (SAT)a solicitor at law,personal attorney to My
late client, who used to work with Shell Development Company in Ghana. Here
in after shall be referred to as my client. On the 21st of April 2002, my
client, his wife and their only daughter were involved in a gastly car
accident along Kpalime express road. All occupants of the vehicle
unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have made several enquiries to
your embassy here to locate any of my clients extended relatives,this has
also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts,In my desprate search for urgent
assistance,I decided to track his last name over the foreign mission
guestbook, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you. I have
contacted you to assist in repartrating the fund valued at USD$20.5 million
left behind by my client before it get confisicated or declared
unserviceable by the ( STANDARD SECURITY COMPANY) here in Accra Ghana ,where
this huge amount were deposited.! And now the bank has issued me a notice to
provide the next of kin or have his account confisicated within the next
seventy one official working days.
Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for upto 2years
now, I seek the consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased
since you have the same last names,so that the proceeds of this account can
be paid to you.
Therefore, on receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss the
sharing ratio and modalities for transfer. I have all necessary information
and legal documents needed to back you up for the claim.All I require from
you is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through.I
guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will
protect you from any breach of the law.
Urgent responce to this letter will be proudly appreciated.
