Dear Friend,
This letter is not intended to cause any embarrassment in whatever
form, rather it is intended to contact your esteemed self, following
the knowledge of your high repute and trust .Firstly, I must solicit
your confidentiality. I know that a proposal of this magnitude will
make anyone apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that it is
made in good
faith and will be of mutual benefit. I am Barrister Daniel Ray in
England , the personal attorney to Mr. Kenneth, herein after referred
to as my client, a national of your country, who used to work with
Shell Petroleum Development Company in England. My client and his
entire family were involved in a fatal motor accident, which
unfortunately claimed their lives, along the express road, sparing
none of the occupants of the vehicle. I have since then made several
enquiries to your Embassy, in a bid to locate any relation of my late
client, and these efforts of mine have not been productive. I came
across your name during my search which is why I have contacted you to
assist me in securing the money and property left behind by my client
before they are declared as unclaimed and unserviceable by the Nat
west Bank London where the have been lodged for safekeeping by the
British Government .I am particularly interested in securing this
contract fund balance with Federal Ministry of Finance (FMF),totaling
Thirty Million United States Dollar(USD30M). This is because the said
Bank has issued a notice to me, unequivocally instructing me to
produce the Next of Kin to the said account within the next fourteen
official working days, or have the account confiscated.
Considering my lack of success in my bid to locate his relatives for
over two years, I solicit your consent to enable me produce you as the
Next of Kin to my deceased client, since you both bear the same last
name. The funds will then be transferred to you as the beneficiary and
shared according to a proposed sharing pattern /ratio of 60:40 i.e.
60% for me and 40% for you. I will provide all the necessary and
legally obtained documents to back up any claim we make regarding this
process, and will just require your understanding and cooperation to
enable us achieve success within a legitimate arrangement, eliminating
any liability resulting from any breach of the prevalent laws. Your
urgent response will be highly appreciated.
My direct contacts have been provided; use same accordingly for
effective communication. You can as well forward to me your Tell/Fax
number immediately for more clarification on my late client.
Thank you.
Best Regards,
Barrister Daniel Ray .
