Subject: DEAR SIR/MADAM
Good Day Sir,
I am Barrister Anthony Williams.Esq,Solicitor and also the Personal Attorney
to Mr. John Mitchell, a national of your country, who used to work with
Chevron Oil Company in England, on the 21st of April 2002, my client, his
wife and their three children were involved in a car accident along Chelsea
Highway Road, that claims the lives of all occupants of the vehicle. It was
a very sad news and since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy
to locate any of my clients extended relatives which proves unsuccessful.
After several unsuccessful attempts to reach his family, l decided to trace
his relatives over the Internet to locate any member of his family but of no
avail, hence I contacted you. I have contacted you on trust to assist me in
receiving the money left behind by my client before his bank He has an
account which is about to be confiscated and declared dormant due to lack of
claim resulting from my inability to present his beneficiary as his Attorney
over these years due to the banking policy of his Bank. Particularly, the
Bank where the deceased had an account valued at about 20.6 million dollars
has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin of my client or have the
account confiscated within the next ten official working days.
Since l have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over years now
I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since
you are bearing or having the same surname with my late client so that the
proceeds of the transfer of this money valued at $20.6 million dollars can
be paid to you as his next of kin for our mutual benefit. The sharing
percentage is as follow if only you will be faithful and honest to assist
me, 30% for your assistance as next of kin, 60% to me and remaining 10%
should be for expenses or tax as your government may require.
All necessary legal documents that will back up your claim of this money
will be secured in your name with his personal and private information in
line with the English law. All I require is your honest cooperation to
enable us see this deal through. I guarantee you that this business will be
executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any
breach of the law. Please get in touch with me by my email to enable us
discuss further steps to follow in the actualization of this objective.
Please call me for more disucssion on my privite phone number+44703 1917361
Best Regards,
Anthony Williams .[Esq.]
