Hello,
I am Barrister CYRIL ANYOKU , an attorney at law. This mail is written
to
solicit your assistance to be presented as next of kin to my deceased
client
Mr Ronald Lake. He made a fixed deposit valued US 3.5M,(Three Million,
Five
Hundred Thousand US Dollars) on September 1998 for 36 months
maturity, with an intent of putting up a gold mining company here in
Cotonou
and upon the maturity this bank started contacting him but to no avail
On 31 January, 2000, my clientele along with his wife died in a plane
crash
of Alaska Airlines Flight number 261. You shall read more about the
crash on
visiting this
site(http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/)
The Governing Body of the bank has contacted me on this matter, based
on the
fact that his supposed next of kin, happened to die in the said crash
and I
am yet to provide any other Next of Kin to lay claim to the fund.
Under a clear and legitimate agreement with you, I shall seek your
consent
to be presented as the next of Kin,so that the proceeds of this account
now
valued US 4.1 million, will be paid to you, so that the Bank will not
confiscate this fund, as the banking law and guidelines here stipulates
that if such money remained unclaimed after four years, the money will
be
transfered into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund
For the sake of transparency on this matter, you are free to make
immediate
contact with me through my mailbox or phone line, for further
information
related to this matter.
Thank you very much for your anticipated acceptance while I expect your
prompt response.
Yours faithfully,
Barrister CYRIL ANYOKU
