SAMSON GOGO Chambers Legal
Practitioner & Financial Attorney
# 112/114 Adetokunbo Ademola str, Victoria
Island Lagos Nig.
GOOD DAY FRIEND,
I crave Your indulgence to kindly attend to this
approaching you through this medium, it due to the
time constrain of this matter.My name is Barrister
SAMSON GOGO a legal practitioner and the personal
attorney to Mr. MARK WILLIAMS,a national of your
country here in after refered to as my client.My
client Mr. MARK WILLIAMS, and his family were
involved in an unfortunate 5th of November 2000
fatal auto crash along Ibadan/lagos expressway in
which many people were burnt to death.my client lost
his life with his family.I found this report later
gave this details about the incident.
archives.cnn.com/2000/WORLD/africa/11/06/crash.nigeria.death.reut/
My client an oil magnet working with Chevron Oil
Texaco Nigeria plc. had left behind a fixed deposit
of Fourteen Million seven hundred thousand united
states dollars only($14.7million usd) with a finance
company.Just after the death of my client,the
finance company contacted me as hisattorney
to provide his next of kin who should inhert his
fortune.this according to them is their policy in
such circumstances.Well since his death I have made
several enquiries through your embassy to locate any
of my client's close or extened relatives but this
exercise had all the years been unsuccessful.I had
to inform the finance company about my fruitless
effort in locating my client's close relatives.The
board of directors of the company just adopted a
resolution and I was mandated to provide his next of
kin for the payment of this money within the next 15 official
working days
or forfeit the money as an
abandoned funds.The company had planned to invork
the abandoned property decree of 1994 to confiscate> the funds
after the
expiration of the period given
me.
After an investigation in the finance company,I
found out that some of the directors want to divert this funds
into thier
private accounts for their own
interest and only want to use the excuse that since
I am unable to look for a Beneficiary to make the
claim,the money should be made unserviceable and
that means submitting the funds to the federal
government of this country and some to the company
management which is not their main intention.Well I
have reason very professionally and I can use a legal
means to present you as the next of kin of my
deceased client.this isleagally possable and would
be done in accordance with the laws of the land.
Consequently I seek your consent to present you as
the next of kin to the deceased since you are at an
advantage bearing the same surname with my late
client and equally from the same country.I have all
vitial documents that would confer you the legal
right to make this claim and would make them available
to you so that the proceeds of this bank account valued at
$14.7 Million usd can be paid to you before it gets
confiscated or declared unserviceable to the bank
where this huge amount is lodged.note that this is
100% risk free.
I do sincerely sympathtize the death of my client
but I think it is unprofitable for his funds to be
summited to the federal goverment of this country or
some finance company directors.My aim is to retrieve
this funds and for this I seek your assistance.Since
I have been unable to locate the relatives for the
past 4year now and since no one has come for the
claim.I seek your consent to present you as the next
of kin of the deceased since you have to same last
name giving you the advantage so that the proceeds
of this account $14.7 usd can be paid
to you and then you and me can share the money,60%
to me and 40% to you.I know there might be other
persons out there with the same surname as my last
client,but after a little check my instinct tell me
to contact you.Can I trust you on this?I shall
assemble all the necessary documents that will be
used to back up your claim. I guarantee that this
will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of law.Please get
in touch with me for better confidentiality and send
to me your telephone and fax numbers to enable us
discuss further on this transaction.If this proposal
is acceptable by you,do not take undue advantage of
the trust I have bestowed in you,I await your
response.
Best Regards
Barrister SAMSON GOGO (Esq)
PLEASE TREAT AS ABSOLUTELY CONFIDENTIAL
