Dear Friend,
I am Barrister Kenneth C. E., the attorney to one late Mr Kingsley Akor. My
client who was working with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, alongside his
wife died intestate in the recent crashed Bellview Flight 210 on board 117
persons, leaving only little Miss Gloria O. Akor (10 year -old) on earth.
After much enquiries , I discovered that my late client's relatives are on
the verge of claiming the whole properties of the deceased, as the custom of
the land approves that the younger brother if any, takes over the property,
since there is no male child to continue the linage. And that had it been,
he left the wife and daughter, the younger brother stands in the position of
taking over (inherites) the late brother's wife as to continue from where he
stops.(See Deuteronomy 25:5-9(HOLY BIBLE,OLD TESTAMENT).
However, in the case of little Miss Gloria, the uncles want to make life
miserable to her , by tormenting her and denying her of her late father's
property. As her late father's attorney and the only person whom Gloria can
look up to, I decided to help .
My intention is to transfer the sum of $18m(Eighteen million U.S Dollars)
been part of the proceeds left in her bank account and the $100,000(one
hundred thousand U.S Dollars) compensation fee paid by the Management of
Bellview Airline, into a foreign bank account. I have started processing her
papers as to fly her out of the country, so that she can continue her
education over there.
I do hope you will assist to champion this transaction, by providing an
account name in which we can transfer this same amount into. I agree to give
you 30% of the proceed as your fee for assistance. I will provide every
necessary legal documents that will protect you before the law.
Declare your willingness towards this transaction , while you furnish me
with the below informations as to enable us prepare the necessary documents
in your own names:
1)Your full names and address
2)The bank account particulars in which you would want us to transfer
thesame amount to:
3)Your telephone and Telex numbers, for easy and effective communication
during this process.
I must not fail to bring to your notice the fact that this transaction is
hitch free and that you should not entertain fear as you are adequately
protected from any form of embarrassment.
At the successful completion of this transaction, my new client (Gloria) and
I will visit your country for disbursement according to the agreed ratio.
Do respond to this letter today through my alternative e-mail address , to
enable us proceed with the transaction.
Best regard
Barr Kenneth C.Etiokwe
