Subject: Hello Wojciechowski
From: Barrister Dan Johnson
Johnson chamber's Accra Ghana
Attn: Wojciechowski
I am Barrister.Dan Johnson, solicitor and notary public, the personal
attorney to Mr. Mark Wojciechowski,Who is a national of your country. On
the 21st of April 2002, my client, his wife and their only son were involved
in a car accident along Accra / Kumasi express road. Unfortunately they all
lost their lives in the event of the accident, since then i have made
several enquiries to locate any of my clients extended relatives and this
has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives
over the Internet, to locate any member of his family but of no avail, hence
I contacted you. I contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and
property left behind before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable
by the bank where my client lodged these huge deposits. Particularly, the
bank where the deceased had an account valued at about (US$7.5million) U.S
dollars. Consequently, the bank issued me a notice to provide the next of
kin or have the account confiscated within a short time.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over some years
now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased
since you share the same surname so that the proceeds of the account valued
at US$7.5million can be paid to you for both of us to share the funds; 60%
to me and 35% to you, while 5% should be for expenses or tax as your
government may require. I have all necessary legal documents that can be
used to backup the claim, in lieu of the above, I also want to inform you of
the need to make preparations to go to Amsterdam, Holland where the security
company maintains an offshore remittance claims center where clientele from
Europe and America receive all deposits made in their favour. All I require
is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law. Please get in touch with me
through my e-mail
to enable us discuss further, or better still let me have your contact
telephone numbers for oral details as we progress.
Thanks for your kind co-operation
Dan Johnson
