Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Bar. MOMOH S JONES; I am an barrister with AKINSEYE AND CO CHAMBERS
I am the personal attorney to a citizen of yourcountry who used to workwith
the Shell Petroleum Development Company in Nigeria.
On April 21, 2003, THE ENGINEER,(hereafterreferred to as my client),his
wife, and their three children were involved in a car crash. Alloccupants of
the car unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have made several
inquiries to your embassy to locate any of my client's extended family, but
my efforts so far have been unsuccessful.After several unsuccessful
attempts, I decided
to trace his last nameover the Internet, to locate any member of his family
hence Icontacted 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 bank where these huge deposits were lodged,
particularly the INTERCONTINENTAL BANK PLC,Where the deceased had an
account Valued at about ($8.3million USDollars).
The INTERCONTINENTAL BANK PLC has issued me a notice to provide the
next of kin or have the account reverted to Bank ownershipwithin the
next twenty official working days, this is in line with Nigeria's
Banking Laws and the Rules governing the Banking and Finance Sectors
which stipulate that if after a period of thirty-six months there is
no claimant or next of kin presented for the funds of a deceased
account holder, ownership of such funds revert to the Bank and the
Federal Government of Nigeria.Since
I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for almost
three years now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin
of the deceased so that this account valued at ($8.3 million USD) can
be paid to you and then you and me cans hare the money.
All the necessary documents concerning this claim are with the Bank's
legal department. 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 you from any breach of the
law.
Please get in touch with me by replying my email as soon as possible,
as I have just twenty working days in which to lodge a claim for the
funds on behalf of my client's next of kin. You could include your
phone number if you prefer oral communication. Thank you for your
anticipated cooperation.
Bestregards,
BARRISTER. MOMOH S JONES(QC)
