I am DAVID WEBBER, Barrister and solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney to Mr. JAMES MAC DONALD who was working with Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) here in England,as Director, Operation until his death, herein shall be refered as my client.
On Friday the 21st of April 2002, precisely 3:22PM,My client,his wife and their three children were involved in a ghastly auto accident Manchester city Express Road in ENGLAND, and unfortunately, all occupants of the vehicle lost their lives. Since then I have made several enquiries to his embassy to locate any of his extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.
But I was presented by the Chamber of Commerce enquiry department names that mactches that of my client in order to locate any member of his family or any close name to his, hence I contacted you first. I am contacting you to assist in claiming the money and property left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits were lodged, particularly the BARCLAYS BANK OF ENGLAND where the deceased have his account valued at about US$15.5million dollars deposited days before his untimely death. The bank has issued me a notice to provide the next -of -kin or have the account confiscated within the next twenty one (21) working days.
Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the the relatives for over 2 years now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$15.5 million dollars can be paid to you and then you and I can share the money according to any agreed ratio. Note that I have all the necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make and also his last testament of WILL,which is still under my posssion and which we will amend to make you elgible to claim the fund.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Note, your accptance mail should be sent strictly to my Private/confidential email address of:djwebb_legalconsult@yahoo.co.uk to enable us discuss further.
Best Regards,
BARRISTER DAVID WEBBER
