PROPOSAL
Dear Sir,
Compliments of the day and how are you doing today?
My Name is Barrister Pius Ego of the above address and personal Attorney
to one late mr.Peter craig a national of your country, he died on his way
to a seminar in auto crash on the 10th day of October 2002. My late client
was the Chief Executive officer of {African development Oil Company} for
25 years and he was retired on the 30th day of September 2002.
He was re-contracted as a petroleum consultant to the company before this
unfortunately incident occured on the above date just after a month. He
left all his credentials with my chamber for the drafting of his new contract
agreement that will bind his new contract with african development company.
Before his death my client made a numbered time (fixed) deposit for twelve
calendar months valued at US$7.5M with the International Trust bank of Nigeria
plc with open beneficiary and No one will ever come forward to claim this
fund since his sudden death and according to Nigerian banking law the money
will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian government if the account owner
is certified dead and nobody comes forward to claim it after five years.
So far the bank has just written my chamber aroutine notification to provide
the next of kin of my late Peter Craig or have the account confiscated within
the next ten official workingdays.This situation is presently giving me
a serious concern as to what i should do to safeguard this ($7.5m)from this
bank rules.
I want to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since i dont want
the government to confiscate this fund, we will share the USD$7.5million
dollars on 50% 50% basis ones we are through ok. Pls i want to urge you
to view this mail with every sense of responsibility of purpose and treat
your response with despatch.
Kindly reply on receipt of this mail through our Financial attorney Chamber
Martins Email box ( barrister03@zipmail.com.br) or ( barr_chambermartins@walla.com
) only the basis of your acceptance to assist me in this transaction, you
should include your direct contact phone nos where we can open communications
with you.
Thanks for your anticipated response
Pius Ego Esq
