Dear Sir/Madam,
I crave your indulgence to kindly attend to this in good faith. I do not
mean any disrespect approaching you through this medium, it is due to the
time constrain of this matter.
My name is Barrister David Wineman, a legal practitioner and the personal
Attorney to Mr. John Parkes a national of your country here in after
refered to as my client. My client Mr. John Parkes and his family were
involved in the 5th of November 2000 fatal auto crash along Ibadan/Lagos
express way in which people were burnt to death unfortunately my client and
his family lost their lives.
My late client was an oil magnet working with Chevron Oil Nigeria Plc and
had left behind a deposit of Fourtheen Million seven hundred thousand
United States Dollars only ($14.7million USd) with a finance company. After
the death of my client, the finance company contacted me, as his Attorney
to provide his next of kin who should inherit his fortune. This according
to them is their policy in sure circumstances, but Since his death I have
made several Enquiries through your Embassy to locate any of my client's
extended relative but this exercise has proved unsuccessful. I had to
inform the finance company about my fruitless effort in locating my late
client close relative or his
next of kin.
The board of directors of the company now adopted a resolution and I was
mandated to provide his next of kin for the payment of this money within
the next 15 official working days or forfeit
the money as an abandoned fund.The company had planned to invoke the
abandoned property decree of 1996 to confiscate the funds after the
expiration of the period given to me but after an
investigation in the finance company, I found out that some members of the
company wants to divert this fund into their private accounts for their own
selfish interest and only want, to use the excuse that since I am not able
to look for some one to make the claim, the money should be made
unserviceable and that means submitting the fund to the federal government
of this country and some to the company management which is not their main
intentions.
By virtue of my closeness to the deceased and his immediate family, I am
very much aware of my client's financial standing. I have reasoned very
professionally and I feel it will be legally proper to present you as the
next of kin of my deceased client.
This is legally possible and would be done in accordance with the laws of
the land. I seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin to the
Deceased,so that the proceeds of This Bank Account valued at $14.7 Million
United State Dollars can be paid to you, before they get connfiscated or
declared unserviceable to the bank where this huge deposit were lodged.
Note that this is legal, and 100% risk free since I have all vital
documents that would be requested by them and that would confer you the
legal right to make this claim.
I do sincerely sympertize the death of my client, but had thought it
unprofitable for his funds to be summited to the federal government of this
country and the finance company where it is lodged. My aim now is to
retrieve this funds, and for this I seek your assistance. Since I have been
unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 4years now I seek your
consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased,all I require is
your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law. Please get in touch with me and
send to me your telephone and fax numbers to enable us discuss further
about this transaction. If this proposal is acceptable by you, do not take
undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed in you, I await your urgent
response.
Best regards,
Barrister David Wineman
