Subject Matter: Invitation to Act as Next-of-Kin
I write this august letter in confidence, believing that it will reach you
in high spirit and I believe you will maintain the level of confidence and
trust matters of this nature requires. Though, I know that this proposal may
make you apprehensive and worried, but I assure you that all will be well at
the end.
Before proceeding, I wish to introduce myself. I am Dr. Francis Oluwole,
Deputy General Manager, (Credit Controls) with Standard TrustBankLimited,
Lagos. I got your contact from a reliable fellow.
The Proposal:
An American Citizen, Late Engr. Roy .A. Bruce, a Petrochemical Engineer with
Eleme Petro-Chemical Co.Rivers State. Until his death in ADC plane crash in
November 2000, operated a domiciliary account with us and had a closing
balance as at the end of September 2000 amounting to $10,500,000.00 ( Ten
Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only), the bank now
expects a next of kin as beneficiary to no avail.
Valueable efforts have been made by Standard Trust Bank Plc to get in touch
with any of late Roy A Bruce's family as beneficiary to his estates without
success.It is because of the perceived possibility of not being able to
locate any of Late Engr. Roy .A. Bruce's next of kin, since he had no wife
or children that is known to the bank.
Consequently, the chairman and the board of Directors are planning to
declare the fund Unclaimed and transfer it to special trust fund for
purchase of arms and ammunition for ECOMOG soldiers in sierra Leone and
Liberia zones in the East Africa sub-regions. In other to avert this
negative development, I now seek your permission to have you stand as
next-of -kin to the estate of late Engr. Roy A Bruce, so that the fund
$10,500,000.00 will be released and paid into your account as beneficiary's
next of kin. I will help to arrange all documents and proves to enable us
get this fund out. I have secured from the probate registry an order of
mandamus to locate any of the deceased beneficiary and more so, I am
assuring you that this transaction is risk free.
Once the fund is moved to your nominated account, you will be entitle to
35%. Your share stays while the rest be for me and some people I will settle
here. You will be entitled to substantial part from my percentage, in trust
for investment. As soon as I receive your acceptance in principle, I will
furnish you with the necessary modalities for commencement.
Finally, I am relying in my confidence in you, having opened up to you,you
can contact me via my alternative email address
(francis_oluwole2002@yahoo.co.uk).
If however you are not interested, please feel free to destroy this
information as I will continue to scout for willing partner(s).
Yours Faithfully,
Dr.Francis Oluwole.
