Attn Sir,
We are Douglas,Wilson & associates, solicitors and legal practitioners based in Cote d'Ivoire.We are the personal attorney to Dr. George Brumley who was a
consultant with Shell Petroleum Company here in Cote d'Ivoire, who shall be referred to as our client.
On the 21st of July 2003, my client Dr. George Brumley and his family were involved in a fatal plane crash in Nairobi Kenya, West Africa.
Unfortunately my client Mr. George and his family lost their lives.Here is the website of the incident that struck on that faithful day.
http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/07/20/kenya.crash/index.html
Since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of our client's extended relatives and this has proved unsuccessful.
After my several unsuccessful attempts to locate any member of his family hence we contacted you.
We are contacting you to assist in repatriating the money left behind by our client(Dr. George Brumley) before they get confiscated or declared unclaimed by the security company where this huge deposit were lodged.
The finance company where the deceased had the said fund lodged has issued us a notice to provide the next of kin to the deceased.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 4 years, we now seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the
deceased so that the proceeds of this fund can be paid to your account abroad, you will have 20% of the money for your role while we will have 75% and 5% for expenses that we may incur in the cause of processing the claim.
It is not our will to see the above matter treated that way hence I conducted a search that will assist us in first and foremost fighting for the safety of the consignment and all that is contained therein.If the next of kin is not found within six weeks then the Public Trustee will seize the entire estate of our late client.
We have access to all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make. All we require is your honest co-operation to
enable us seeing this deal through.We guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Please kindly get back to us through our email to enable us discuss further about this transaction.
Best regards,
DOUGLAS,WILSON&ASSOCIATES
