GREETINGS TO YOU ,
This is a personal email directed to you and I request that it be treated
as such. I am Steven Walker, a personal attorney/sole executor to the late
Engineer Robert M. hereinafter referred to as” my client" I represent the
interest of my client killed with his immediate family in a fatal motor
accident in East London on November 5, 2002. and I will like to negotiate
the terms of investment of resources available to him.
My late client worked as consulting engineer & sub-comptroller with
Genesis Oil and Gas Consultants Ltd here in the United Kingdom and had
left behind a deposit of Six Million Eight Hundred Thousand British Pounds
Sterling only (£6.8million) with a finance company. The funds originated
from contract transactions he executed in his registered area of
business.Just after his death, I was contacted by the finance house to
provide his next of kin, reasons been that his deposit agreement contains
a residuary clause giving his personal attorney express authority to
nominate the beneficiary to his funds. Unknown to the bank, Robert had
left no possible trace of any of his close relative with me, making all
efforts in my part to locate his family relative to be unfruitful since
his death. In addition, from Robert’s own story, he was only adopted and
his foster parents whom he lost in 1976, according to him had no possible
trace of
his real family.
The funds had remained unclaimed since his death, but I had made efforts
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
However, it will interest you to know that I discovered that some
directors of this finance company are making plans already to have this
fund to themselves only to use the excuse that since I am unable to find a
next of kin to my late client then the funds should be confiscated,
meanwhile their intentions is to have the funds retrieved for themselves.
I reasoned very professionally and resolved to use a legal means to
retrieve the abandoned funds, and that is to present the next of kin of my
deceased client to the bank. This is legally possible and would be done in
accordance with the laws. 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.
I find this to be possible for the fuller reasons that you are of the same
nationality and you bear a similar last name with my late client making it
a lot easier for you to put up a claim in that capacity. I have all vital
documents that would confer you the legal right to lay claim to the funds,
and it would back up your claim. I am willing to make these documents
available to you so that the p roceeds of this bank account valued at
£6.8million can be paid to you before it is confiscated or declared
unserviceable to the bank where this huge amount is lodged.
I do sincerely sympathize the death of my client but I think that it is
unprofitable for his funds to be submitted to the government of this
country or some financial institution. I seek your assistance since I have
been unable to locate the relatives for the past four years now and since
no one would come for the claim.
I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased
since you have the same last name giving you the advantage which also
makes the claim most credible . In that stand, the proceeds of this
account can be paid to you. Then, we talk about percentage. I know there
are others with the same surname as my client, but after a little search,
my instinct tells me to contact you.I shall assemble all the necessary
documents that would be used to back up your claim.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of law. 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. As I said, I require only a solemn confidentiality on
this. Please get in touch via my alternative email
barr.stevenwalk@hotmail.com for better confidentiality and if okay by you,
send me your telephone and fax numbers to enable us discuss further on
this transaction. Contact number is +44-7624172570 (Calling me should not
be any problem all you need to do is to dial your country code before
dialing my number (+44 (0)7045758607) If this proposal is acceptable by
you, do not take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed in you,
Thanks for your understanding.
Kind Regards.
