- Dear Friend,Best compliments of the season. I am Mr. Kofi Anderson Esq, a notary public, I am the personal Attorney to late Mr. Kurt Kahle, 51, a citizen of Germany; the decease ran a private business school and he is the President/CEO of Diamond Safari Company Ltd, Accra Ghana. On the 31st of July 2000, my client, his wife and their only child were involved in a plane crash, which claimed their lives. The accident occurred as he was going for a vacation to Caribbean with his entire family, all 109 occupants of the plane unfortunately lost their lives. Below is the BBC news that announces the crash. You can check and confirm with my stories.http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/859479.stm My client has being a successful Diamond dealer in my country and the whole of the West African sub-region; he left behind a huge estate and assets. Sequel to his death, I have made several different efforts in search of the immediate relatives in order to transfer the legacies he left in my custody but my efforts have been fruitless. Currently, one of the banks in custody of my late client’s legacy has requested me to bring forward the next of kin to inherit the legacy. The value of the legacy is US$15.5Million deposited with the International Commercial Bank, Accra-Ghana.In line with the result of my search, I humbly seek your consent to be presented as the bona fide next of kin to the deceased so that this legacy will transfer to your ownership. This entails repatriating the fund to your nominated receiving bank account As a matter of fact. I have the legal requirements needed to back you up in the claims. Moreover, the bank in custody of this legacy mandated me to bring forward the next of kin to inherit the fund or forfeit it to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as an unclaimed dividend, Therefore, your unalloyed co-operation is required earnestly to claim this legacy from the bank for final disbursement between us. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. If you are ready to receive this legacy as the next of kin to the deceased, kindly reply this letter to confirm your position, waiting for your urgent response.Yours truly,Barrister Kofi Anderson (Esq.)
