ATTENTION,
This is a personal email directed to you and I request that it should be
treated as such. I am Philip Bowman, a solicitor at law.
I am the personal attorney/sole executor to the a late client, who worked as
an independent oil magnate in my country and died in a car crash with his
immediate family on the 5th of Nov 2001. Since the death of my client in
Nov, 2001, I have written several letters to the embassy with intent to
locate any of his extended relatives whom shall be claimants/beneficiaries
of his abandoned personal estate and all such efforts have been to no avail.
More so, I have received official letters in the last few weeks suggesting a
likely proceeding for confiscation of his abandoned personal assets in line
with existing laws by the bank in which my client deposited the sum of
£49.8Million GBP .
The board of directors of the company now adopted a resolution and I was
mandated to provide his next of kin for the payment of this money within the
next 15 official working days or forfeit the money as an abandoned fund. The
company had planned to invoke the abandoned property Decree of 1996 to
confiscate the funds after the expiration of the period given to me but
after an investigation in the finance company, I found out that some members
of the company wants to divert this fund into their private accounts for
their own selfish interest and only want, to use the excuse that since I am
not able to look for some one to make the claim, the money should be made
unserviceable and that means submitting the fund to the majesty government
of the United Kingdom and some to the company's management which is not
their main intentions.
By virtue of my closeness to the deceased and his immediate family, I am
very much aware of my client's financial standing. I do sincerely sympathize
the death of my client, but had thought it unprofitable for his funds to be
submitted to the majesty government of this country and the finance company
where it is lodged. I have reasoned very professionally and I feel it will
be legally proper to present you as the next of kin of my deceased client
which is legally possible and would be done in accordance with the laws of
the land.
On this note I decided to search for a credible person and finding that you
bear a similar last name, I was urged to contact you, that I may, with your
consent, present you to the Trustee bank as my late client's surviving
family member so as to enable you put up a claim to the bank in that
capacity as a next of kin of my client, so that the proceeds of This Bank
Account valued at Forty Nine Million Eight Hundred Thousand British Pounds
Sterling only (£49.8Million) can be paid to you, before they get confiscated
or declared unserviceable to the bank where this huge deposit is lodged.
Note that this is legal and 100% risk free since I have all vital documents
that would be requested by them and that would confer you the legal right to
make this claim.
I find this possible for the main reason that you bear a similar last name
with my client making it a lot easier for you to put up a claim in that
capacity. Therefore, to facilitate the immediate reprofiling of this fund,
you need, first to contact me via my alternative email address signifying
your interest and as soon as I obtain your confidence, I will immediately
intimate you with the complete details as well as send you the documents,
with which you are to proceed and I shall direct you on how to put up an
application to the bank, through the court of law.
However, you will have to assent to an express agreement which I will
forward to you in order to bind us in this transaction. Upon the receipt of
your reply, I will send you by E-mail the next step to take. I will not fail
to bring to your notice that this proposal is hitch-free and that you should
not entertain any fears as the required arrangements have been made for the
completion of this transfer. I guarantee that this will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Please get in touch with me through my alternative email:
consult_philbowman@yahoo.co.uk for better confidentiality and send to me
your telephone and fax numbers to enable us discuss further about this
transaction.
Like I said, I require only a solemn confidentiality on this. Please let me
have your opinion as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
ATTORNEY PHILIP BOWMAN(ESQ)
