BARRISTER Peter David,ESQ
PROPERTY AND INHERANTANCE LAWYER
HEAD OFFICE:PLOT 16623
OYIN JOLAYEMI STREET
VICTORIA ISLAND LAGOS
PEONE:234-1-4726810
Dear Sir,
I am Barrister Peter David Esq,the Property and Inherantance Lawyer to the
Late Lam Kim, a national of your country , who used to work with shell
Development Oil Company in Nigeria. Here in after shall be referred to as my
client. On the 21st of April 2003, my client, his wife and their three
Children were involved in a car accident along Sagbama express-road. All
occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have
made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended
relatives this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his ast name
over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left
behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by
the BANK here these huge deposits were lodged. Particularly, with the BANK
where the deceased had an account valued at about $5.5million dollars
decided to contact you before the money will be confiscated.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 3 years
now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased
since you are the same country with him so that the proceeds of this account
valued at $5.5million dollars can be paid to you and then you and me can
share the money. 70% to me and 30% for you.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing this deal
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
that it does not necessarily matter, whether you are biologically related to
the deceased or not. As you can bear with me, a next of kin to one, may be a
Parent, Sister, Brother, Close Relative, Associate, Friend or even a
Well-wisher. So, whether you are related to him or not is never a barrier to
your kinship in the transaction.
Best regards
Barr Peter David,
