Subject: URGENT MESSAGE FOR YOU.
Attention please,
I am Barrister Richard Gordon, the personal attorney to late Mr.Gaski Dairo
. I got your contact address from your country export promotion council
although the details of my intention was not made known to them.I have
urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. On June 6 2004,
my client who is an American oil consultant /contractor with the Shell
Petroleum Corporation (SPC),Late Mr. Gaski Dairo made a numbered time
(fixed) deposite for twelve calendar valued at GBP10,500,000.00 (Ten Million
five hundred thousand POUNDS) in Barclays bank here in London.
Upon maturity the bank sent a routin notification to my office, which i
responded to them that my client was involved in an auto crash and lost his
life.Since i am his personal attorney who is holding his legal powers and
all his deposite papers,the bank where this fund is deposited has mandated
me to present his nexk of kin or have this fund confiscated. His suppose
next of kin who is his daughter died along with him in the auto crash
including his wife, consiquentely there is none of his relation i could find
that will claim the fund on his behalf.
This sum of GBP10,500,000.00 is still sitting in the Bank and the interest
is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one
will come forward to claim it.
According to the British Law, at the expiration of 5 (five) years,the money
will revert to the ownership of the British Government if nobody applies to
claim the funds.Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a
foreigner to stand-in as the next of kin to late Mr. Gaski Dairo it doesnt
matter if you have the same last name with him or not so that the fruits of
this old mans labour will not get into the hands of some corrupt government
officials and remember that this fund can only be claimed by a help of a
foreigner that is the main reason i am contacting you.
As his personal lawyer, i will procure all the claim documents by your
name which will facilitate the release and transfer of the fund to your
nominated bank account.
1. I will like you to provide me immediately with your full names and
address, your direct telephone and fax number, a copy of your international
passport or drivers license so that i will prepare the necessary documents
and affidavits, which will put you in place as the next
of kin.
2. I will also prapare for the drafting and notarization of the WILL and
obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate /administration in your
favour for the transfer.
3. A bank account in any part of the world, which you will provide, will
then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary / next
of kin of Late Mr. Gaski Dairo .
The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 60%
for me and 40% for you . There is no risk at all the paperwork, for this
transaction will be done by me. Please observe utmost confidentiality, and
rest assured that this transaction would be
most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to
invest my share in your country.
If you are interested, please reply immediately .
God bless you.
Thanks and regards,
Barr. Richard Gordon.
