Mr Mike and Carol Hall herein after referred to as my client.Lost their
lives in that unforfunate incident that shook the zone.Before their death
the couple had included in their last testament their distant relative who
lives in your country as beneficiary to their estate .
Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy here to locate any
of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts,I decided to look for a credible
person hence i contacted you.I have contacted you to assist in repatrating
the fund valued at US$23,500,000.00(Twenty Three Million Five Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars only) deposited by my late client before it
gets confiscated by the Security Finance Firm where this huge amount was
deposited.
The said Security Finance Company has issued me a notice to provide the next
of kin or have his account confiscated within the next thirty one official
working days.
Since I have all the necessary information and legal documents needed to
back you up for claim in my late client's security file jacket in my
custody,I hereby seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin to the
deceased ,so that the proceeds of this account can be paid into your account
as the true beneficiary.
Therefore,on receipt of your positive response,we shall then discuss the
sharing ratio and modalities for transfer.
All I require from you is your willingness to assist me and cooperate so
that we can clear the payment to your account as scheduled.I guarantee that
this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you
from any breach of the law in the present and future.
Please get in touch with me through my private email for more details.
I look forward to your response at your earliest convenience.
Yours Truly,
