Subject: Dear Anthony,
Dear Anthony,
I am Peter Duckworth LLB (Hons), LRAM (Esq, a Briton and the Personal
Attorney of Mr. George Anthony, a national of your country, who worked with
Chevron Oil Company in England. On the 21st of April 1999, my client, his
wife and their three children got involved in a car accident along Chelsea
Highway Road that claims the lives of all occupants of the vehicle. It was a
very sad news and since then, I have made several enquiries to your embassy
to locate any of the extended relatives of my late client which proved
unsuccessful.
After several unsuccessful attempts to reach his family, l decided to trace
his relatives over the Internet to locate any member of his family but of no
avail, hence I contacted you. I have contacted you on trust to assist me in
receiving the money left behind by my client in his bank account valued at
about Ten Million Six Hundred Thousand United States Dollars. His account is
about to be confiscated and declared dormant by his bank due to lack of
claim resulting from my inability to present his beneficiary as his Attorney
known to his bank over these years. Particularly, the officials of his Bank
have issued to me a notice/ultimatum to provide the next of kin of my client
or have the account confiscated within the next ten official working days.
Since l have been unsuccessful in locating his relatives over these years, I
seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since
you bear same surname with my late client so that the proceeds of his estate
worth Ten Million Six Hundred Thousand United States Dollars can be paid you
as his next of kin for our mutual benefit. The sharing percentage is as
follow if only you will be faithful and honest to assist me, 30% for your
assistance as next of kin, 65% to me and remaining 5% should be for expenses
or tax as your government may require.
All necessary legal documents that will back up your claim of this money
will be secured in your name with the personal and private information of my
late client in line with the stipulations of the English law. All I require
from you is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through. I
guarantee you that this business will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Please get in
touch with me by my email to enable us discuss further steps to follow in
the actualization of this objective.
Best regards,
Peter Duckworth LLB (Hons), LRAM.
