Subject: NEXT OF KIN/ ATTN: Kwak
Dear Kwak,
I am sorry for the embarrassment this mail might cause you, as we have not
met before. I am Barrister Jack Roberts, a solicitor at law, I was the
personal attorney to Engineer Edward Kwak, who used to work with Shell Oil
Johannesburg. Hereinafter shall be referred to as my client.
On the 21st of April 2002, my client, his wife and their children were
involved in a car accident on their way from Durban, while arriving from
Easter Holiday. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives,
since then I have made several inquiries to your Embassy to locate any of my
clients extended relatives; this has also proved unsuccessful. I came across
your name and contact while I was searching for Edward's relations hence I
contacted you to assist me with this project.
I am contacting you to assist in repatriating the money and properties left
behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by
the finance house where these funds were deposited.Particularly, the
Security Company where the deceased has an account valued $USD10 Million
Dollars, last year issued me a 12 months notice to provide the next of Kin
or have the fund consignmentconfiscated, and this ultimatum expires by next
month.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over two years
now, I seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin of the deceased
since you have the same last name so that the proceed of this deposit valued
at $USD10 Million Dollars can be released to you and then you and I can
share the money, 50% for me 45% for you, and the remaining 5% will be for
expenses and tax.
Please, find attached, picture of the funds as was taken by my client before
it was deposited at the Security company, because he made the money in one
of the Oil deals he had with our Oil Minister. Also is the family picture of
Engr. Edward. This is just to proof to you that my proposal is genuine. I
will also procure 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 business
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Get in touch
with me through my email address so that we can proceed further.
Alternatively, you can mail me at bjrobertsesq@zwallet.com or
bjrobertsesq@highveldmail.co.za
Sincerely yours,
Jack Roberts ESq.
