BARRISTER KELVIN LOPEZ & ASSOCIATES
SENIOR ADVOCATE LIVERPOOL LONDON , UK
(LEGAL PRACTITIONALS AND SOLICITORS)
REGISTERED IN ENGLAND & WALES.
REGULATED BY THE LAW SOCIETY UK.
Dear Friend,
Having obtained your contact from the internet that you deserve trust,
coupled with my deep interest to invest in your country, I decided to
contact and solicit your mutual assistance at all cost. I am Barrister
Kelvin Lopez (Solicitor and a Senior Advocate of the supreme court of
LIVERPOOL LONDON UK ).I is the Personal Attorney to ENGR.JOSEPH. F. GRILLO
foreigner and he is the Manager Of petrol chemical service, a chemical
engineer by Profession. He died in world trade center as a victim of the
September 11,2001 Incident that befall the United State of America, the bank
has made series of efforts to contact any of the relatives to claim this
money but without success, you can confirm through this. Website:
www.september11victims.com/september11Victims/VictimInfo.asp?ID60.
now I decided to make this business proposal to you as his personal attorney
so that the bank can release the money to you as the next of kin or relation
to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is
coming for it and I don't want this money to go into the bank treasury as
unclaimed bill. have contacted you to assist me, in repatriating most
especially, the money left behind by my late client before they get
confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this deposit is
lodged, valued at (15m) fifteen million dollars, which has issued me a
notice to provide the Next of kin to my late client, or have the account
confiscated. Since there is a government gazette/circular
mandating/authorizing banks to place on hold or freeze any account
containing huge sums of money that has been unserviceable for a reasonable
period of time. This is geared towards forestalling capital flight from the
economy.
The banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained
unclaimed after ten years, the money will be transferred into the bank
treasury as unclaimed bill I therefore agree that 40% of this money will be
for you as foreigner partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign
account, 10% will be set aside for expenses incurred during the business and
50% would be for me. There after I will visit your country for disbursement
according to the percentages indicated. Therefore, to enable the immediate
transfer of this fund to you as arranged. I will not fail to bring to your
notice that this transaction is hitch-free and that you should not entertain
any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the
transfer. You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this
letter. Trusting to hear from you immediately
To actualize this arrangement, from your side as a partner I will require
the following details:-
YOU'RE NAME IN FULL.
ADDRESS IN FULL.
MOBILE NUMBER.
AGE.
MARITAL STATUS AND NATURE OF JOB.
Awaiting your urgent reply.
Thanks,
Barrister Kelvin Lopez
