CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE
Attention please
I am Barrister Pete Jones, solicitor and personal attorney to Mr. David
Mathur, who worked with Shell Petroleum Development Company here in the U.K,
here in after referred to as my client.
On the 21st of April 2003, my client, his wife and their three children were
involved in a car along the Donaghadee Road on his way to Killynether-wood
(Ireland) and all occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.
Since then, several enquiries to locate any of my clients extended relatives
have also proved abortive. Hence, after these several unsuccessful attempts,
I decided to track his last name over the Internet, to locate any member of
his family hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left
behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by
the finance firm in Europe where this huge deposit was lodged.
The finance firm, where the deceased had an account valued at about U.S $
25.5 million dollars has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or
have the account confiscated within the next twenty one official working
days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2 months
now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased
so that the proceeds of this account valued at U.S $ 25.5 million dollars
can be paid to you and then we both can share the money, 60% to me and 40%
to you. I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to backup any
claim we may make. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us
seeing this deal through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law.
Please you can reply to my private email: pete_jones_486@yahoo.co.uk
Best regards,
Barrister Pete Jones ESQ
