Attn:Sir,
Compliments of the day to you.I must solicit your confidentiality and assure
you that I am contacting you in good faith and this proposal will be of
mutual benefit.
I am Bar.Clifford Ibru (Esq.), a legal practitioner. My client who was a
member board of trustees SPDC London was killed with his entire family
in a fatal accident,sparing none of their lives, some years ago.
Before his death, I assisted him in the deposit of some funds with a
Security Company for safekeeping.The funds have remained unclaimed since his
death, and such unclaimed funds are appropriated and returned to the
treasury as a matter of policy. Considering the lack of success in my bid
to locate any of his relatives for over a year now, I hereby solicit your
consent to enable me present you as the Next of Kin to my deceased client.
I am contacting you for two reasons. Firstly, you both have the
same last name, which makes the claim most credible. Secondly, I
strongly believe that the Security Company does not deserve to
inherit the funds. These reasons led to my resolve to claim the
funds, which was why I contacted you.
With your permission, I will proceed to establish you as the next of
kin/Beneficiary to my late client. As soon as this is done, you will then
give instructions to the Security Company, to transfer the deposited funds
into another account you will provide, after which we shall then share the
funds upon agreed terms.
Finally, I demand that you keep this transaction
confidential till we complete the deal and also
confirm that the funds have been transferred into any
nominated bank account of ours. I would want you to
furnish me with the following informations which will
assist me in this claim,
1,FULL NAME
2,CONTACT ADDRESS
3,TELEPHONE AND FAX
4,OCCUPATION.
These information will assist me secure the necessary papers in your name.
When I receive your response, I will provide you with further details.
I await your reply,
Bar.Clifford Ibru {Esq.}.
