Hello Brother,
I am Barrister Nicholas Smith, a solicitor at law. I am the personal
attorney to Mr. Kaigo Lukeman, a national of Hong Kong, who uses to work
with (SOUTH AFRICA TOTAL OIL COMPANY). My client Mr. Lukeman was born on the
21st of April 1967 and he was killed by a plane crash in his journey to
Australia for a contract. My client Mr.Lukeman never had a family of his
own, his parents are late and he is the only child of his parents. Before he
died he deposited the sum of ($10.1 MILLION DOLLARS) TEN MILLION ONE HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS in STANDARD FINANCE SECURITY PLC (SFS) the money were
concealed in a trunk box which he deposited as personal valuables for
security reasons. With the hope of transferring it to his country as soon as
he is on leave.
Since his death I have made several enquiries to Hong Kong embassy to locate
any of my clients extended relatives this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to contact you. I have
contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind
by my client before they get confisticated or declared unserviceable by the
security company where the deposited was made.
Now the STANDARD FINANCE SECURITY PLC (SFS) has issued me a notice to
provide the next of kin or have the box confisticated within the next ten
official working days. Since i have been unsuccessful in locating the
relatives for over four months now. I seek your consent to present you as
the next of kin of the deceased, so that the proceeds of this deposit can be
sent to you and then you and i can share the money.60% to me and 40% to you.
Please you are free to give your own opinion on this transaction modality if
you wish. I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up
every claim we may make.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us See this transaction
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will
protect you from any breach of the law.
BEST REGARDS,
BARRISTER NICHOLAS SMITH.
