I am Barrister Borris Marcus Esq. An attorney to Prudential And Co Solicitors London. Understand I do not know you in person please do not feel embarrassed, because I have no option left. I just have to do this knowing that there most be somebody who shares the same view with me in this proposition, which also is an opportunity that we need to handle with extreme confidentiality.
In 1996/97 my client a late Burke Sean, who was a sub-Comptroller to Chevron Oil here in the United Kingdom, before his death made a numbered time Fixed Deposit for twelve Calendar months according to recorded document valued at £12.2M (Twelve Million, two Hundred thousand British Pounds) Upon maturity I sent a routine notification in accordance with the legal policy to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from one his contract employers Royal Dutch Shell plc that the deceased died in the Korean Air Flight {801}, which crashed in Guam, on August 6,1997.The incidence was on CNN http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9708/06/guam.passenger.list
The deceased did not declare any next of kin or relations in his entire official Documents including his Bank Deposit paperwork .So I decided to conduct a random search on the internet just to see if I can locate his family but all to no avail. Since the death of my client, I have written several letters to the embassy with intent to locate any of his extended relatives whom shall be claimants/beneficiaries of his abandoned personal estate and all such efforts have been to no avail. I had to inform the finance company about my fruitless effort in locating my late client close relative or his next of kin.
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 invoke the abandoned property decree of the British Government as provided in section 129 sub 63(N), British Banking Code at the expiration of 9 years the money will revert to the ownership of the British Government, if nobody applies to claim the funds. I decided to contact you to assist me in claming this fund's before it will be taking over by the government. Also I have received official letters in the last two days suggesting a likely proceeding for confiscation of his abandoned personal assets in line with existing laws of the Banking Institution.
I do sincerely sympathize the death of my client but I think it is unprofitable for his funds to be submitted to the government of this country or some financial institution. My aim is to retrieve this funds and let it be claimed by the deceased family name etc. for this I seek your
assistance since I have been unable to locate the relatives for the past 4year now
Well I have reasoned very professionally and I can use a legal means to present a next of kin of my deceased client. This is legally possible and would be done in accordance with the laws of the land. On this note I decided to search for a credible person and finding that you bear a
similar last name, I was urged to contact you, that I may, with your consent, present you to the "trustee" as my late client's family member so as to enable you put up a claim to the bank in that capacity as a next of kin of my client. I find this possible for the fuller reasons that
you are of the same nationality and you bear a similar last name with my late client making it a lot easier for you to put up a claim in that capacity. I have all vital 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 £12.2million can be paid to you before it gets confiscated or declared unserviceable to the bank where this huge amount is lodged.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this proposal is hitch-free and that you should not entertain any fears as the required arrangements have been made for the
completion of this transfer Be rest assured as I have an insider in the financial house that will be assisting us to make an easy transfer of the funds to your nominated account if you were in agreement I have decided that you will be entitled to 35% of the total amount but this can be negotiated.
Like I said, I require only a solemn confidentiality on this. Please get in touch with me by my alternative email esqborrismarcus@hotmail.com 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.
Regards,
Borris Marcus Esq.
