- Good Day,I am Barrister Jimmy Dawson a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney to Mr.Riza, a national of your country, who was into Gold Mining and export here in Ghana and he settled here in Ghana for a long time before his death.On the 27th of January 2008, my client Mr.Riza , his wife and their only daughter were involved in a Car Accident along the Cape Coast Express Road here in Ghana unfortunately they lost there lives may their soul rest in peace.Mr.Riza deposited as family belongings and treasure in a CONSIGNMENT (Gold-Jewelries) and a sum of US$9,600,000.00 in a Standard Finance & Securities Company here in Ghana for himself, with the hope of transferring it to out during his leave which was suppose to be in the month of April 2008 before his untimely death.Since his death I have made several enquiries and efforts to locate any of his extended relatives but have been unable to get in touch with any. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to search through the Internet hence I contacted you.I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the security company where these Consignments (Money) were deposited and if this happens, the Security Company will declare it to the Government of Ghana if we don’t act fast and put claim to it. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 6 months now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you have the same last name so that the proceeds of these Consignments and Money valued at 9.6 million dollars can be claimed by you and then you and me can share the money 50% to me and 50% to you. I have the Death Certificate and the Deposit Certificate that can be used to back up this claim.All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect us from any breach of the law since I am a Lawyer and I have all the details.Please get in touch with me as soon as possible with your personal contact details such as your full names and phone number so that I will contact you with more details.I await your urgent reply.Best regards,Barr. Jimmy Dawson (ESQ).
