The PRESIDENT/C.E.O
I am barrister Ahmad Bello (Esq.) a Senegalese
Solicitor & Financial Attorney. I was the personal
attorney to a client who was an expatriate mining
consultant/contractor with Senegalese Petroleum
Corporation in St Louis-Senegal. The contractor
here-in-after referred as my client was also a
Diamond/Gold Merchant.
He made a numbered time (Fixed) deposit of Twenty five
million United States of America Dollars in a bank in
Dakar, capital of Senegal with standing
statement/agreement with the bank that all
correspondences in respect to the fixed deposit
contract must be sent to him through my humble
chambers. Upon maturity, the routine notification was
sent to me which I dispatched to his forwarding
address as usual without no reply. After a month, I
sent a reminder which I received from the bank without
any reply again. Finally, I discovered from my
client’s contract employers- Senegalese Petroleum
Corporation that he died among many others in an auto
crash along St Louis express road. On further
investigations, I found out that he died without
making any WILL and all attempts to trace his next of
kin was fruitless. I also discovered that he did not
declare any kin or relations in all his official
documents, including his fixed deposit contract with
the bank in Dakar-Senegal.
First, I am contacting you based on the official
letter I just received from his bankers reminding me
that Senegalese law states that at the expiration of
5(five) years the money will revert to the ownership
of the Senegalese Government if I do not confirm the
next of kin to claim the fund. Second, as a foreigner,
to stand in as the next of kin to him so that the
fruits of this old man’s labour will not go into the
hands of some corrupt government officials. Note that
this transaction is simple and risk free because I
will provide expert legal services that will guarantee
the successful execution of this deal.
I wish to point out that after the claims, I would
want 20% of this money to be shared among charity
organizations, while the remaining 80% is shared
equally between us. Most importantly, I would also
require your assistance towards investing my share in
your country or anywhere as you may advice. If you are
interested, please contact me immediately . Upon your
response, I shall provide you with more details and
how we shall proceed with the claims. I expect you to
observe utmost confidentiality and be rest assured
that this transaction would be profitable for both of us.
Awaiting your urgent reply.
Thanks & Regards
Barrister Ahmad Bello (Esq.)
