*Dear: Friend,*
*My earlier letter to you through the Post Office was returned undelivered,
therefore I now attempt to reach you via your email address as it appears to
be the next and the only option left unexplored. My client, Mr. Max
Kavanagh(Late) an Australian Nationality had a deposit valued the sum of
USD$14.5Milliom with Equitorial Security Sarl in account NO.
0002135468975/ECOBANK, which is lying dormant with bank since my client met
unexpected death with his wife and their only son in Indonesia during their
Holiday trip. *
*The incident made my client who was a pioneer member of STRABAG
CONSTRUCTION CO.LTD,a dedicated Christian and Philanthropist with wife and
their only son* *to be among Eighty Eight(88) Australian victims of 12th
October 2002 Bali Bombing, out of 202 fatalities. BBC AND CNN will give you
more details of the brutal bomb blast of 12th October 2002.*
*
**Since the death of my client, i have personally made several enquiries to
Australian embassy here to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this
has also proved unsuccessful. and the banking rules and regulations here
stipulates that any deposit in the bank that lies dormant after the period
of 6yrs will be confiscated and converted to government treasury. Infact
this is alot worrisome to me because i don't our Government to take
advantage of my client's funds when i have all the related documents of my
client deposit filed with me,which will help to get the funds claimed. *
*
**Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over 6years
now, I seek the consent to present you as the next of kin to my client since
you are a foreigner with proof of Foreign Identification, so that the
proceeds of this account can be paid to you. Than allowing the US$14.5
million that left behind by my client gets confisicated or declared
unserviceable by the Security Finance Firm and be transfer to Government
Treasury where the money will be shared among them to no one asks questions
because it is lawful that after 6yrs,such funds will be confiscated. *
*Note that on receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss the
sharing ratio and modalities for transfer. Meanwhile, I have all necessary
information and legal documents needed to back you up for claim. All I
require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us see this
transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. *
*I Look forward to your quick reply.*
*Best Regards.*
