I have long long looked for someone like you.
I am Barrister Desmond O'Connor Rupert, solicitor and personal attorney to
MR DAVID LEFEBVRE who worked with Shell Petroleum Development Company here
in the U.K, here in after referred to as my client.
On the 21st of April 2002, my client, his wife and their three children were
involved in a car accident along Dublin - Dundalk Ireland express road and
all occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.
Since then, several enquiries to locate any of my clients extended relatives
have also proved abortive. Hence, after these several unsuccessful attempts,
I decided contact you to assist me in this transaction .
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 finance firm in Europe where this huge deposit was lodged.
The finance firm, where the deceased had an account valued at about U.S $ 10
million dollars has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have
the account confiscated within the next twenty one official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the
relatives for over 2 months now, I seek your consent to present you as the
next of kin of the deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at
U.S $10 million dollars can be paid to you and then we both can share the
money,60% to me and 40% to you.This percentage is as a result of people in
chambers that has to also be settled at the end of this gesture.I think it
is alright for me and better than loosing the whole fund.
I will provide all necessary legal documents that can be used to backup any
claim we may make. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see
this proceeding through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law. I need to get a little contact
of yours' then get to talk with you for a while and see
if you can be the best option for this. May we have the strength to follow
our days.
Let us give this a shot.
Best regards,
Desmond O'Connor Rupert Esq
