Dear ,sir madam]
I am BARRISTER , a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney to
MR,
RALPH LAWSON a Citizen of your country, who is a business man in
United Kingdom with a valid Resident Permit since 1974. 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 tran accident along Hayes Park
Central
express road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their
lives.
Since then I have made several enquiries to his embassy to locate any
of my
clients extended relatives this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace any of
his
extended relation, but all the effort to locate any member of his
family was
to no avail, hence I contacted you. I have contacted you to assist and
have
you stand as his extended relative as to enable us in repatriating the
money
and property left behind by my client before they get confiscated or
declared unserviceable by the bank where it is deposited.
Particularly, the finance company where the deceased had an account
valued
at about USD$12.8,000,000 (twelve million eight hundred thousand
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 A
years
now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the
deceased so
that the proceeds of this account valued at US$12.8,000,000.00(twelve
Million eight hundred thousand united States Dollars) can be paid to
you and
then you and I can share the money.
35% for me as initiator, 55% for you while 10% will be set aside for
reimbursement to both local and international expenses incure in the
process
of this transaction, I have all necessary legal documents that can be
used
to back up any claim we may make.
All I require is your honest co-operation 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. Please
get in
touch with me by my email and send me your telephone and fax numbers
and
also your postal address either business or home address to enable us
discuss further about this transaction.
Best regards,
Barrister Ben Jackson
