My Dear Friend,
I am Barrister Williams J.A. of J.O.E law Chamber's & associate, Nigeria. an attorney to late Mr. Mike Hall, a businessman, before his death ,He made a numbered fixed deposit for 6 (six) calendar months, with a value of US$9.8 Million only with a bank. Upon maturity six Months after his death, several notices where sent to me to present any member of his family which I have sent series of letter through his address as kept in his file with me and no response came from such letters. A final Maturity Notice on his investment was sent early February and still no response came from anyone.
The Bank officially sent a two-man delegate to his residence and his official address as stated in his confidential file with the bank as also given to me,only to find out that the business mogul and his family perished in the Tsunami disaster. A confirmation of the death of Mike Hall and his wife can be seen via the link below:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/bristol/4153821.stm
The bank has now issued me a notice to present any of his family or next-of -kin in order to claim his fund as it has matured. But I must be honest with you that Mr. Mike Hall did not declare any next of kin or trustee to the funds on behalf of the family of the deceased in his official papers apart from his wife who also died in the disaster, including the paper work of his bank deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he visited my office that no one apart from his wife and me knew of his deposit in that bank. So, $9.8 million United State Dollars is still lying in that bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it, that I know for sure.
According to the laws of the bank at the expiration of one year (1 year) without any transaction on the account, the funds will revert to the ownership of Government if nobody applies for claim of the funds. I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the Trustee to the said funds and not the next of kin as this would raise so much eyebrow and suspicion as you are in no way related to the deceased, Mr. Mike Hall to enable you receive the funds. Let's put heads together to see how we can transfer these funds out of this country
and use it judiciously.
I will prepare the necessary documents that will back you up as the trustee to the said funds deposited by
Mr. Mike Hall. All that is required from you at this stage is for you to provide me with your full names and Address including your direct phone and fax numbers and your business or company name and contact
details if you have any for the lawyer I have gotten to commence work immediately.
I will also file in for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approvals and get most importantly, a letter which will be presented to my bank as written by Late Mike Hall after making the deposits appointing you as his only trustee to the funds aside his wife known to the bank as his next of kin. This will all be in your
favour for the funds to be moved to an account that will be provided by you. We are going to adopt a legalized method and the Attorney will prepare all the necessary documents and no risk will be involved.
I am offering you 40% of the total sum for your assistance and partnership in this deal. Note, this is negotiable by both parties, so if this is not ok with you, let me know what sharing ratio you would want, if it is ok with me, we can go ahead.
Contact me immediately with your full names, address, occupation, personal and direct fax and telephone number if you are interested to do this business with me and more details will be provided to you about the Project.
Best Regards,
Barrister Williams J.A
