Subject: Dear Olav Please I need your consent.
Dear Olav,
Good day.
May I indroduce myself to you and as well let you know my purpose of
contacting you. Please Reply Via Email:fredezzeh@atlas.cz
I am Fred Ezzeh solicitor and notary public, the personal Attorney to
Mr. Mark Olav who is a national of your country. On the 21st of April
2002, my client, his wife and their only son were involved in a car accident along Accra / Kumasi expressroad.Unfortunately they all lost their lives in the event of theaccident,since then Ihave made several enquiries to locate any of my clients relatives butall my efforts were unsuccessful.
After all these, I decided to trace his relatives over the Internet, tolocate any member of his family but of no avail, hence I contacted you.I contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property leftbehind before they get nfiscated or declared unserviceable by theSecurity Company where my client lodge these hugedeposits.Particularly, the bank affiliate where my client had a depositvalued at aboutU.S$20.5 million U.S dollars,though unknown to the them. Consequently, the Security Company issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within a short time.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives all these
while, now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the
deceased since you share the same surname so that both of us can retrieve the money from the Security Company and subsequently share the funds; 60% for me and 35% for you, while 5% should be for expenses that may be incureed in the process.It may interest you to note that I have all necessary legal documentsthat can be used to backup the claim. All I require is your honestcooperation to enable us see this deal through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement
that will protect you and myself from any breach of the law. I hope you
will welcome this lifet ime opportunity, if so please get back to me in
confirmation of your good interest through my e-mail to enable us discuss further.
