Attn:Dear VISSER ,
I am Attorney ALexander Welch, personal attorney to Late Mr.JIM VISSER ,
a national of your country, who used to work with The ROYAL DUTCH COMPANY PETROLEUM
Company(SHELL) here in London,who herein after shall be referred to
as my client.
On the 21st of April 2004, my client, his wife and their two children
were involved in a ghastly motor accident.
Unfortunately,all occupants of the vehicle lost their lives as the
vehicle caught fire after the crash.
Since then I have made several
inquiries to your embassy,HERE IN LONDON to locate any of my clients extended
relatives, this has proved abortive.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.
My purpose of contacting you is to assist in repatriating the money
and property left behind by my client prior to his death before they
get confiscated or declared unserviceable ,by the bank where his
deposits were lodged.The bank had issued me
a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account Confiscated,and declared dormant
within the next ten(10) official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating his relatives for over 2
years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the
deceased since you have the same last name/surname so that the proceeds
of this account valued at $300,000(Three hundred thousand dollars dollars) can be paid to you
and then we can share the money afterwards. I have all the necessary
official and legal documents that can be used to back up the claim we
may make. All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us in
seeing this transaction through.
I am constrained to take this action as
if i dont,corrupt bank officials would,seize the money.
Or the government would impound it into the already bloated National treasury,
where it would be looted by corrupt politicians,or used to fund unnessecary wars,that escalate and end innocent lives.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement
that will protect
you from any breach of the law.
PLEASE REPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING:
1..NAME.....
2..OCCUPATION
3..ADDRESS
4..PHONE NUMBER/MOBILE NUMBER/FAX NUMBER
This information would enable me file an application with the bank for IMMEDIATE PAYMENT,
of my late clients benefits to you as his next of kin.
My Best regards,FROM THE DESK OF ATTORNEY JAMES WELCH.
