Dear Friend,
Iam sorry for whatever surprise this letter may cause you. However, I am
writing to you with honesty and in absolute genuine intention.
Iam Barrister Hassan Adams, an attorney to my client Mr. Nelson, who died
in an auto accident here in 2001. My client was an expatriate (foreigner)
who worked in the Oil and Gas industry as an Oil explorer.
My purpose of writing to you is to seek your assistance and permission to
present your name as the next of kin (Relation) to this late client who
deposited the sum of US$12.5million in a bank here before his death in
auto accident with his family.
The bank where he deposited the U$12.5million has requested me as his attorney
to forward to them the particulars and names of his next of kin for the
release of the fund.I have made all efforts to locate any of his blood relations
but this have been very difficult. To worsen the matter, non of his relatives
has come forward to identify themself(s) as my late client's next of kin
since his death.
In view of this difficulties in locating my client's next of kin, rather
than allowing his funds to be unjustly appropriated by the bank, I decided
to write you to seek your assistance and permission to present your name
as his next of kin to the bank to enable us retrieve the funds out of the
bank.
N:B It does not matter whether you are his biological blood relation or
not. I will take care of this by processing required documents in your
name to back-up the claims.I guarantee that the documents which I will process
in your name as backup evidence for the claims will protect and clear you
from any breach of the law here.
As an attorney, all necessary and legitimate steps shall be taken by me
to protect your name and to ensure that this transaction is conducted and
executed legitimately without any trouble .
For the transfer of the funds to be effected, we shall need a secure bankaccount
anywhere in the world for the transfer in your favour.Once the transfer
is effected into your account, you will take 45% of the fund while I will
take 55%. Please if you are interested to assist me, you should reply me
through my above email address. Yo can also contact me on my phone number
234-80-33688902
Please include your address and also your telephone number to enable me
contact you for more discussion and further clarification.
Once I receive your reply I shall proceed to process the necessary legal
documents in your name for the transfer of the funds.
It is envisaged that this transaction will be concluded within 8 working
days upon the receipt of your response to assist me.
May God be with you.
Yours sincerely,
Barrister Hassan Adams
