Dear Sir/Madam,
I am an accountant with GRAND BANK OF AFRICA PLC. My
name is Mr.Edward Williams I am the Personal Account officer to
Engineer.Andrew Wilson, a National of your country,who is a contractor with
the DEPARTMENT OF PETROLEUM RESOURCES,VICTORIA ISLAND LAGOS.
Herein after shall be referred to as my client On 30 JAN 2000,my
client, his wife and their three children were involved in the Kenya
Airways flight with registration number 5Y-BEN which departed from
Nairobi to destination Lagos and all the passengers on-board and the
flight crew, including his family died in this fatal aircrash on 30 JAN
2000.Since then I have made several inquiries to your embassy to locate
any of my clients extended Relatives, this has also provedunsuccessful
after these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his last
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 getconfiscated or declared
unserviceable by the bank where these huge deposits were lodged,
particularly the GRAND BANK OF AFRICA PLC .Where the deceased had an
account
valued at about ($10 Million US Dollars) has issued me a notice to
provide
the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next ten
official working days.Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the
relatives for over 4 years now, I seek your consent to present you as
the next of kin of the deceased since you have the same last name so
that the proceeds of this account valued at ($10 Million US Dollars)
can be paid to you and then you and I can share the money 50% to me and
40%to you. While 10% for unforeseen bottle necks we might incure in this
transaction an attorney will be contracted to help us revalidate and
notarize all the necessary legal documents thatcan be used to back up any
claim we may make.Please indicate your willingness by sending the below
information for more clarification and easy communication.
Your full name.Your contact address.Your tel and fax numbers.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us
see this dealthrough.Iguarantee that this will be executed under a
legitimatearrangement that will protect you and I from any
breach of the law.
