My name is Barr Rashidi Dasuki, a legal practitioner and the personal
Attorney to late Mr. Carl Van Hillman, who died along with his wife
and his two sons in a ghastly motor accident along Kumasi express way
here in Ghana. This incident occurred on the 13th of August 2003; all
the occupants in the vehicle lost their lives.
My client was a successful and an accomplished family man, who made
enough fortune before his untimely death. Since then I had made
several inquiries through his country Embassy to locate any of my
clients extended relative but this exercise has proved unsuccessful.
After several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives
through the Internet, to locate any member of his family not much
progress was recorded. My late client was an influential wealthy bus
linesman, a gold and diamond magnet here in Ghana and he left behind
a deposit of ten million United Sates Dollars only
($10,000,000.00usd) in his domiciliary bank account here in Accra
Ghana. After the death of my client his bankers contacted me, as his
Attorney to provide his next of kin who should inherit his fortune.
The board of directors of his bank adopted a resolution and I was
mandated to provide his next of kin for the payment of this money
Within 28 working days or forfeit the money to the bank as an !
abandoned property. The bankers had planned to invoke the abandoned
Property decree of 2003 to confiscate the funds after the expiration
of the period given to me. Despairing at the point of exhaustiveness,
Fortunately, I came across your contact to my utmost amazement, with
my late client and coincidentally too, you are nationals of the same
country. I am convinced that you may be linked with my late client or
that you might provide clue to my search. I therefore, decided to
contact you with these facts before me
Well, my proposal therefore is that, I am looking for a foreigner who
will stand in as the next of kin to my late client. It is not
necessary to be a blood relation to him, nor have the same name. It
is not also necessary to come from the same Country. By virtue of my
closeness to the deceased and his immediate family, I am very much
aware of my client financial standing and the bank account he
operates. 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, so that you can be paid the funds left in his bank account,
hence I contacted you. I seek your consent to present you as the Next
of Kin to the deceased since you are at an advantage as a foreigner
so that the proceeds of this Bank Account valued at $10 Million
Dollars can be paid to you. we shall both share the funds 45% to me
and 45% to you, while 10% should be for Expenses or Tax as your
Government may require, I shall assemble all the necessar!
y Legal Documents that will be used to back up our claim . All I
require is you been honest to me and your co operation to enable us
sees this deal through. I guarantee that this transaction will be
executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from
any breach of law. Please get in touch with me by my official email
(barr_rashidi4@yahoo.com)
Contact me immediately so that we can discuss further about this issue.
Best regards,
