Dear,
I am barrister Gani Fayose(SAN); a solicitor at law. On
the 21st of November 2003,my client as well as his wife and
three children were involved in an auto accident
along Port Harcourt Enugu express road. All occupants
of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since
then I have made several inquiries to locate any of my
clients extended relatives but this has proven
unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful
attempts, I decided to contact you.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the
money and property left behind by my client before
they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the
bank where this huge deposits were lodged,
particularly the Marina International Merchant Bank
Plc. where the deceased had an account valued at about
US$13.5 million dollars. I have been issued a notice
by the bank to provide the next of kin to my late
client or have the account confiscated after three
years if not claimed and We have just one year left.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the
relatives for over 1 year now I seek your consent to
present you as the next of kin of the deceased since
you are a foreigner so that the proceeds of this
account valued at US$13.5 million dollars can be paid
to you and then you and me can share the money. 65%
shall be for me and 30% for you while 5% is earmarked
for expenses that will be incurred during the process
of transfer of the fund. I have all necessary legal
documents that can be used to back up any claim we may
make.
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 intouch with me to enable us discuss
further. You may also, send your phone number so that
I can call you.
I look forward to seeing your urgent response.my contact e mail
addresses are (gani_fayose60007000@yahoo.co.in) and or
(gani_fayose60007000@galaxysurf.com).macmorison_love@sify.com
Best regards,
Gani fayose(SAN)
