Dear Friend,
Firstly, not to cause you embarrassment, I am Barrister SULEMAN BELLO,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 being 1990 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.
In-spite 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 Dollars)
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 me and 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
