Subject: SOLICITING FOR YOUR PARTNERSHIP
From: Barrister Fred Akuka
F.R.A Solicitors.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am contacting you in regards to a business transfer of a huge sum of
money from my client’s account with the United Bank for Africa Plc
(UBA) On the 25th of July 2000, the deceased (My Client), Andreas Schranner,
64, a German property Magnate and chief consultant with Chevron Oil
Exploration Company in Nigeria (Africa), his wife, daughter and son-in-law
and their children all perished in the flight AF4590 Concorde crash. You can
read through for more information via the following website;
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm
Although I know that a transaction of this magnitude might make anyone
apprehensive, I would like to assure you that I am sending you this mail
with the best of intensions.
Before his death, my client Andreas Schranner was having a long term deposit
with the United Bank for Africa to the tune of US$12,500,000.00 under
Banker’s Acceptance.
Since his death, I have made frantic efforts to locate any of his
relatives to lay claims to this estate as the heir but my efforts were
aborted. The Bank cannot release the fund unless someone applies for claim
as the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in the banking guidelines
for the release of an estate.
I am compelled at this time by the Bank as the attorney to late Andreas
Schranner, to present his next of kin for the claim of his estate or the
fund will be declared unserviceable by the Bank and since I can not find or
locate any of his relatives hence my decision to solicit for your
partnership in this venture.
I therefore solicit your consent to present you to the management of the
United Bank for Africa as the next of kin to late Andreas Schranner for the
claim of his estate. This process will be legitimately worked out as I have
the power as his attorney to process and see to the release of his estate to
anyone of the relative or next kin. It is a one way procedure under the
inheritance law here in Nigeria and it will take less than 21 days to
release the estate to you after you make the first application to the Bank
as the claimant. Since I am known to the Bank as attorney to late Andreas
Schranner, it will be an easy process for us to get the estate release to
you within the 21 days.
Once the estate is released to you, I will fly down to your country to
disburse the fund with you. While 45% will be your own share out of the
proceeds, 54% will be mine and 1% will be set aside to settle expenses
incurred during the cause of the inheritance processing.
If this proposal is acceptable by you then contact me immediately and do
not take undue advantage of the trust I am about to bestow on you, I await
your urgent response.
Best Regards,
Barr. Fred Akuka
