Hello my friend,
I am Barrister Michael Odogwu Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Michael Odogwu Chambers. Actually, my purpose of writing to you arose due to the death of my client Engineer Joseph Ruiz. He died in an auto crash in company of the family along Sagbama express road junction, Sagbama River State of Nigeria on the 21st June 2003.
He is an expatriate and was a major contractor with Shell Development Company. When the accident occurred, their children died instantly while he and the wife died few hours after their admission into Sagbama General Hospital. They were however identified through the pocket diary recovered from him (Engineer. Joseph).
>From the moment their identity was confirmed, series of meetings were held between the management of shell Development Company and myself (his attorney) concerning their burials. Though we tried our possible best to locate any of his relation(s) but all the efforts yielded no results. After waiting for several weeks with out any one showing concern, we went forward to bury them at Sagbama general hospital cemetery after obtaining their death certificates from the hospital management.
After their burial, information of his death where sent to every company he transact businesses with including Union Bank of Nigeria Plc were he has the sum of $15,350,000 in his bank account. This amount is now waiting for claim by any of his Next of Kin or his extended relation(s). Further more, Union Bank of Nigeria Plc has already served me a writ of notice to present to them the legal Next of kin who will inherit his asserts including the fund deposited in their bank. Base on the notice therefore, I am seeking for your consent to present you to the bank as the legal next of kin to the late Engineer so that we can retrieve the sum he deposited in the bank which legally will only be approved for release to a foreigner.
Procedure to claim the money: I will need only your full name, postal address and telephone number. The information will be used to prepare an application letter for claim on your name, which I will send to the bank for their approval. The bank will after approving the application letter contact you for further transfer information and I will stand by your side to provide for you whatever information they (Union Bank) may require from you.
Sharing pattern: When the fund is confirmed in your bank account, I will give you 30% of the total amount as your participating share. In this regard, the process will take us only 14 banking days to conclude if we give it the required attention. I will give you more information when you have responded througheither of the mediums (ndicheadoffice@hotmail.com)
Best regards.
Barrister Michael Odogwu
