Dear Sir/Ma
All though this letter may appear as a surprise to you, but I will
appreciate if you can make out time to go through my message.
I am Barrister Chukwuma Emeka a solicitor at law and personal attorney to my
late client, a foregin National , He was formally a director with Kobe Steel
Corporation company, a Japanese company that constructed the Liquidified
Natural Gas Company in Eleme -River state Nigeria.
My late client, his wife and their three children were involved in a motor
accident along Sagama express road Port Harcourt Rivers State Nigeria and
unfortunately the family died in the accident.
Prior to his death, my late client deposited ($1.420m)one million four
hundred and twenty thousand united states dollars) with a Bank here in my
country.
Status now is that my client left no will or any information about his next
of kin and since then I have made several inquiries to foregin embassys here
to locate any of my late clients extended Relatives, this has also proved
unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to contact you for
help. If I inform the company of my late client about the fund, they will
definitely want to claim it from the Bank. In view of this, I have decided
to contact you to assist me in getting this fund from the Bank since nobody
has any knowledge of the deposited fund.
We can get the fund from the Bank with you standing as th next of kin to my
late cilent. I will use your name to get all legal documents from the
federal high court here presenting you as the executor of my client's estate
.
since I have his death certificate with me. I believe this is privileged
information which I expect you to keep confidential and secret because of my
profession.
The business will not take us time since all we need is to get the legal
documents from the court which I will send to the Bank to inform them that
you are the next of kin to my client and beneficiary of the fund.
The deposited fund can be transferred direct to your bank account through
the consultants of the Bank as soon as we conclude the documentation
process. I am ready to give you 15% of the total sum for your co-operation.
If you are willing to assist me in getting the funds which we both will
benefit from, send me your full name/complete mailing address as I will need
it for the Legal documents. I will also need your direct telephone as I will
like a faster communication medium
Regards
Barr Chukwuma Emeka
