Dear Friend,
Compliment of the season.
I am Barr. Charles duke of the duke & duke chambers, a legal consultant. I write to you this all-important mail with due sense of humanity and with some awareness that you will give it a favorable consideration.This mail is written and intended to solicit your consent/assistance to be presented as NEXT OF KIN to my Late Client Engr. Fredrick Deem, who most unfortunately
lost his life in the HAFUN AREA OF SOMALIA, EAST AFRICA following the December 26, 2004/January 2005 TSUNAMI WAVES that hit the INDIAN OCEAN COASTLINE OF SOMALIA. May his gentle soul rest in everlasting peace .
My late client was a foreign contractor to the defunct National Carrier of Nigeria, Nigeria Airways before leaving Nigeria for Somalia February last year. While in Nigeria, he made a fixed Deposit of Fund valued at USD7.3 (Seven Million, Three hundred thousand United States Dollars Only) with a
Financial Institution here in LONDON.
To the best of my knowledge after years of serving him as a personal Attorney, He left no clear beneficiary as Next of Kin except some vital documents Related to the Deposit which I have in my possession which will serve to facilitate the procurement of the necessary paper works that will place you as his next of kin.
The Governing Body of the Financial Firm have contacted me on this matter and have requested I present them with my late client's Next of Kin to lay claims to his Funds. I have therefore contacted you to assist in repatriating the money left behind by my late client before they declare them unserviceable by the Financial Institution where this huge deposit were
lodged, Under a clear and legitimate agreement with you, I shall seek your consent to be presented as the next of Kin so that the Financial Firm will not divert my late Clients’ Fund for wrong use.
I have made all necessary legal arrangements that can be used to back up any claim we may make. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing this deal through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. For the sake of transparency on this matter, you are free to make immediate contact with me on Email to enable you and I make further deliberation on what percentage of the
proceeds of this deal each of us will stand to gain at the successful completion of the claims process by you. As a matter of fact, it is a mutual deal and as such we can share it 50% to you and 50% to me.
Upon your reply, I implore you to furnish me with the following information to make communication easier for us .
1. YOUR FULL NAMES AND ADDRESS
2. YOUR CONTACT TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS
Thank you very much for your anticipated acceptance
while I expect your prompt response,
Best regards,
Charles Duke
