BARRISTER EUGENE UZO
CHAMBERS& SOLISITORS
#212 KINGS STREET OWERRI
Before I start, I must first apologize for this unsolicited mail to you.I am
aware that this is certainly an unconventional approach to establishing a
relationship, but you will realize the need for my action.
My name is Barrister Eugene Uzo, a solicitor and the personal attorney to
Late Mr. Thomas Visser, A citizen of your country, who worked with an oil
company in (Chevron Development Company).Here-in-after referred to as my
client. On the 21st of April 2000, my client, His wife and their three
children were involved in a ghastly motor accident. My client and His entire
family unfortunately lost their lives in the accident.
Since then I have made several enquiries to your Embassy to locate any of my
client's extended relatives, which has proved abortive. After these several
unsuccessful attempts, I deemed it fit to contact you. My main reason for
contacting you is to assist me in repatriating and claiming the money and
property left behind by my client before they are declared unserviceable or
confiscated by the Bank where they are deposited/lodged because the security
company is threatening.
Particularly, the security company, where the deceased has a fixed sum of
Ten Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars(USD$10.5 m).The
said Bank has issued me a final notice to provide the next of kin to my
client or they will be left with no other choice than to confiscate his
funds. A copy of the said Bank notice I will fax or email to you on getting
your reply.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating my client's relatives for the
past 3 years now I seek your consent and collaboration to present you as the
Next of Kin of my late client going by the fact that both of you have the
same nationality, so that the said funds as stated above i.e., the sum of
Ten Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars can be paid to you
instead of leaving it for this security company.
Then we could share the money and I invest my share in any lucrative
business in your country. I have all necessary Legal provisions and Document
that will be used to back up any claim I / we may make.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this arrangement
through, thorough and successful. I guarantee that this will be executed
under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the
law.
In anticipation of your urgent reply,
I wish you all the Best regards,
Barrister Eugene Uzo
