DEAR BEHR,
MY NAME IS BARRISTER JOHNSON BEKA, PERSONAL ATTORNEY TO LATE MR. ANDREW
BEHR, FORMER DIRECTOR WITH DYNASTY OIL AND GAS CORPORATION (D.O.G.C). ON
THE 21ST OF APRIL 2003, MY CLIENT (MR. ANDREW), HIS WIFE (SARAH) AND THEIR
THREE CHILDREN WERE INVOLVED IN A FATAL CAR ACCIDENT ALONG LAGOS/ABEOKUTA
EXPRESS ROAD; UNFORTUNATELY THEY ALL LOST THEIR LIVES INCLUDING THEIR DRIVER
MR. TIMIBRI OLORUGUN. SINCE THEN I HAVE MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO LOCATE ANY
OF MY CLIENT'S KNOWN RELATIVES OR EVEN EXTENDED RELATIONS BUT THIS PROVED
ABORTIVE.
AFTER SEVERAL UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS, I DECIDED TO CONTACT YOU. I AM
CONTACTING YOU IN GOOD FAITH SO THAT YOU WILL CO-OPERATE WITH ME IN CLAIMING
THE MONEY LEFT BEHIND BY MY LATE CLIENT, EVEN THOUGH I AM QUITE CERTAIN THAT
YOU ARE NOT RELATED TO MY LATE CLIENT. IT IS WORTHY TO NOTE THAT THE AMOUNT
I WANT US TO APPLY FOR AND CLAIM IS U.S$4.7 MILLION AND IT WILL NOT AUGUR
WELL TO SEE THE BANK FREEZE THE ACCOUNT. THIS IS ACTUALLY THE BANKING
REGULATIONS AND POLICIES IN THIS PART OF THE GLOBE. MORE WORRISOME IS THE
FACT THAT THE BANK HAS ISSUED AN ULTIMATUM ASKING ME TO PRESENT THE NEXT OF
KIN TO MY LATE CLIENT WITHIN THE NEXT 14 WORKING DAYS, OR RISK THE
CONFISCATION OF THE SAID ACCOUNT AND FUNDS ( US$4.7MILLION).
HAVING BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL IN MY EFFORT TO LOCATE ANY OF MY LATE CLIENT
RELATION THESE PAST YEARS, I AM SEEKING YOUR CONSENT TO PRESENT YOU AS THE
NEXT OF KIN TO MY LATE CLIENT SO THAT THE U.S$4.7MILLION WILL BE PAID TO
YOU. FIRST, I WANT YOU TO NOTE THAT THIS IS WORKABLE AND AS SOON AS THE FUND
IS CONFIRMED IN YOUR ACCOUNT, I WILL FLY TO MEET WITH YOU FORDISBURSEMENT OF
THE FUND. UPON TRANSFER OF FUND INTO YOUR ACCOUNT, WE ARE GOING TO SHARE THE
FUND ON EQUAL BASIS OF 50-50. I WANT TO ASSURE YOU THAT THIS IS A LEGITIMATE
TRANSACTION, AND ALL NECESSARY LEGAL DOCUMENTS THAT WOULD BE USED TO BACK UP
THIS CLAIM WELL BE LEGALLY PROCESSED BY ME ON YOUR BEHALF.
ALL I SINCERELY REQUEST IS YOUR CONSENT FOR ME TO PRESENT YOU TO THE BANK AS
THE NEXT OF KIN TO MY CLIENT, THEREBY ASKING FOR YOUR HONEST CO-OPERATION TO
ENABLE US SEE THIS DEAL THROUGH. I GUARANTEE THAT THIS WILL BE EXECUTED
UNDER A LEGITIMATE ARRANGEMENT THAT WILL PROTECT US FROM ANY BREACH OF THE
LAW. PLEASE GET IN TOUCH WITH ME FOR US TO FACILITATE THE CLAIM OF THIS
FUND.
VERY IMPORTANTLY, REMEMBER TO INCLUDE YOUR TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS WHEN
WHILE RESPONDING. DO CONTACT ME VIA EMAIL: barristerjohnsonbeka@myway.com,
SO THAT I CAN UPDATE YOU AS I PROGRESS WITH THE SUCCESSFUL ACTUALISATION OF
THIS TRANSACTION.
I WAIT FOR YOUR REPLY AS SOON AS YOU READ THIS MAIL.
BEST REGARDS.
BARRISTER JOHNSON BEKA (SAN).
