Subject: ATTENTION-- URGENT RESPONSE REQUIRED
Dear Friend,
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 Emmanuel Wilkins,a legal
practitioner .My client and his family was involved
in the 5th of November 2000 fatal auto crash along
A 4O6 express way in the United Kingdom in which
people were burnt to death,unfortunately my client
and his family lost their lives.
My late client was an oil magnate working with Chevron
Oil here in the United Kingdom and had left behind a
deposit of Nine Million Eight Hundred Thousand Pounds
only(£9.8million Pounds) 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 such 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
offficial 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 want 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 submmitting 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 clients
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 accordiance with the
laws of the land.I seek your consent to present you as
the Next of Kin to the Deceased since you are at an
advantage,bearing the same surname and equally from
the same country,so that the proceeds of This Bank
Account valued at £9.8 Million Pounds can be paid to
you,before they get confiscated 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 vitial documents that would be
requested by them and that would confer you the legal
right to make this claim.
I do sincerely sympatize the death of my client,but
had thought it unprofitable for his funds to be
submitted 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 6years now, I seek your consent
to present you as the next of kin of the deceased
since you have the same last name,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 through
my alternative email emmanuelwilkins77@excite.com
for better confidentiality and send to me your
telephone and fax numbers to enable us discuss further
about this transaction. My contact numbers
are +447837389418. If this proposal is acceptable by
you, do not take undue advantage of the trust I have
bestowed in you,I await your urgent responce.
