THE LATE ADAMS' INHERITANCE.
I was privileged to capture your names from the Internet. My name is
Barr. Ahmed Hassan, a legal practitioner and the personal Attorney to late
Mr. Adams, a national of your country who died along with his wife and his
Two sons in a Ghastly motor accident along Sagamu express road Ibadan, on
November 19th 2000. All the occupants in the vehicle lost their lives.
I am convinced that it was the grace of God that made me to locate you.
My client was a successful and is accomplished family man, who made enough
fortune before his untimely death.Since then I had made several inquiries
through your Embassy to locate any of my clients extended relative but
this exercise has proved unsuccessful. After several unsuccessful attempts,
I decided to trace his relatives through the Internet, to locate any
member of his family no progress was recorded .My late client was an influential
wealthy businessman, an oil magnet here in Nigeria and he left behind a
deposit of Eightenn million,Three Hundred Thousand United States Dollars
only US$18,3OO,OOO.OO in his domiciliary bank account in OCEANI BANK
INTL. PLC here in Lagos.
After the death of my client his bankers contacted me, as his Attorney
to provide his next of kin who should inherit his fortune.The board of
directors of his bank adopted a resolution and I was mandated to
provide his next of kin for the payment of this money within 5 years or forfeit the
money to the bank as an abandoned property.The bankers had planned to invoke
the abandoned property decree of 1996 to confiscate the funds after the
expiration of the period given to me.
Despairing at the point of exhaustiveness, fortunately, I came across
your name, , I discovered that you bear the same surname with my late client
and coincidentally, you are nationals of the same country.
I seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin to the Deceased
since you are at an advantage, so that the proceeds of this Bank Account
valued at
US$18.3m Million Dollars can be paid to you.We shall both share the
funds.
55% to me and 40% to you, while 5% should be for Expenses or Tax as
your Government may require, I shall assemble all the necessary Legal
Documents that will be used to back up our claim.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing this deal
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law. Please get in
touch with me by email: amedhassa_n_chambers@yahoo.com to enable us discuss
further.
Best Regards
Barr. Ahmed Hassan
