Dear Friend,
I crave your indulgence to kindly attend to this in good faith.I
do not mean any disrespect approaching you through this medium,it is due
to the time constrain of this matter.
My name is Barrister Dave Branston,a legal practitioner.My client and his family
was involved in the 5th of November 2000 fatal auto crash along A 4O6
express way in the United Kingdom in which people were burnt to death
and unfortunately my client and his family lost their lives.
My late client was an oil magnate working with Chevron Oil here in the
United Kingdom and had left behind a deposit of Nine Million Eight
Hundred Thousand British Pounds Sterling only(9.8million ) with a finance
company.After the death of my client,the finance company contacted
me,as his Attorney to provide his next of kin who should inherit his
fortune,this according to them is their policy in such circumstances.But
Since his death I have made several Enquiries through your Embassy to
locate any of my client's extended relative but this exercise has proved
unsuccessful.I had to inform the finance company about my fruitless effort
in locating my late client"s close relative or his next of kin.
The board of directors of the company now adopted a resolution and I
was mandated to provide his next of kin for the payment of this money
within the next 15 offficial working days or forfeit the money as an
abandoned fund.The company had planned to invoke the abandoned property
decree of 1996 to confiscate the funds after the expiration of the period
given to me, but after an investigation in the finance company,I found
out that some members of the company wants to divert this fund into
their privateaccounts for their own selfish interest and only want,to use
the excuse that since I am not able to look for some one to make the claim,
the money should be made unserviceable,and that means submmitting the fund
to the federal government of this country and some to the company management
which is not their main intentions.
By virtue of my closeness to the deceased and his immediate family,I
am very much aware of my client's financial standing.I have reasoned
very professionally and I feel it will be legally proper to present you
as the next of kin of my deceased client which is legally possible and
would be done in accordance with the laws of the land.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 and equally from the same
country,so that the proceeds of This Bank Account valued at Nine
Million Eight Hundred Thousand British Pounds Sterling only(9.8million )
can be paid to you,before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable
to the bank where this huge deposit were lodged.note that this is
legal,and 100% risk free since I have all vitial documents that would be
requested by them and that would confer you the legal right to make this
claim.
I do sincerely sympertize the death of my client,but had thought it
unprofitable for his funds to be summited to the federal government of
this country and the finance company where it is lodged.My aim now is to
retrive this funds,and for this I seek your assistance.Since I have
been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 4years now I seek
your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you
have the same last name,all I require is your honest co-operation to
enable us see this deal through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of the law. Please get in touch
with me through my alternative email esqdavebranston7@netscape.net, for
better confidentiality and send to me your telephone and fax numbers
to enable us discuss further about this transaction.My contact numbers
are +447932583455. If this proposal is acceptable by you, do not take
undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed in you,I await your urgent
responce.
Best Regards,
Dave Branston (Esq).
