Dear HAMZA KUNHI
Compliments of the day and how are you doing today?
My Name is Barrister John Williams of the above address and personal
Attorney to one late PETER CRAIG a national of your country, he died on his
way to a seminar in auto crash on the 10th day of October 2004.
My late client was the Chief Executive officer of {African development Oil
Company} for 25 years and he was retired onthe 30th day of September 2004.
He was re-contracted as a petroleum consultant to the company before this
unfortunately incident occured on the above date just after a month. He
left all his credentials with my chamber for the drafting of his new
Contract Agreement that will bind his new contract with African
Development Company.
Before his death my client made a numbered time (fixed) deposit for twelve
calendar months valued at US$7.5M with the (OCEANIC BANK PLC) with open
beneficiary and No one will ever come forward to claim this fund since his
sudden death and according to Nigerian banking law the
money will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian government if the
account owner is certified dead and nobody comes forward to claim it after
five years.
So far, the bank has just written my chamber a routine notification to
Provide the next of kin of my late PETER CRAIG or have the account
confiscated within the next ten official workingdays.This situation is
presently giving me a serious concern as to what i should do to safeguard
this ($7.5m)from this bank rules.
I want to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since i dontwant
the government to confiscate this fund, we will share the USD$7.5million
dollars on 50% 50% basis ones we are through ok. Pls i want to urge you to
view this mail with every sense of responsibility
of purpose and treat your response with despatch. Kindly reply on receipt of
this mail through my alternative email box
Barrister John Williams (barristerjhn4@gmail.com ) only on the basis of
your acceptance to assist me in this transaction, you should include your
direct contact phone NUMBERS where we can open communications with you.
Thanks for your anticipated response
Barrister John Williams
