Subject: Visser, Your Kind Response Is Needed.
Mozark Associates & Solicitors
Raymond Plaza, 6th Floor Suite 26 Kola Avenue
lkeja.
Sir/Madam,
It is with trust and believes that I write to you. I am Peter Wagner, a
Barrister at Law and solicitors to the Supreme Court. I was the personal
attorney to Mr. David Visser, a National of your Country, who used to work
with Shell development Company here in Nigeria. On the 21st of April 2002,
my client, his wife and their only daughter were involved in a car accident
along Sagamu express road Ondo State. All occupants of the vehicle
unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have made several enquiries to
locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved
unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his last name
over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist in recovering the consignment contained the
amount valued at US$7.5 Million dollars left in a Finance House by my late
client before it gets confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Finance
House where this consignment contained huge amount was deposited.
The said Finance House has issued me a notice to provide the Next of Kin or
have the money confiscated within the next twenty one official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for about three (4)
years now, I seek the consent to present you as the Next of Kin to the
deceased since you bear the same name with him, so that the release of this
US$7.5m will be cleared and transfer into your account.
Therefore, on receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss the
sharing ratio and modalities for the clearing and transfer of the money. I
have all necessary information and legal documents needed to back you up for
claim. All I require from you is your honest co-operation to enable us see
this through.
I guarantee you that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law. I would be grateful if this
mail will be favored with an urgent reply for further clarification and
information.
Best Regards,
Peter Wagner, esq.
