Dear Friend,
I am Br. Stanley Hall, the Personal Attorney to a
Foreign Contractor, who worked with a Multinational
Oil Firm in United Kingdom. On Saturday, the 21st of
April 2001, my client, his wife And their two children
were involved in a car accident along Fulham Road by
Old Church Street, London. All occupants of the
vehicle unfortunately lost there lives. Since then I
have made several enquiries to his Embassy to locate
any of my clients extended relatives, this has also
proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful
attempts, I decided to trace his relatives over the
Internet, to locate any member of his family but of no
avail, hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist me in repatriating the
money left behind by my client before they get
confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Bank
where this huge deposits were lodged. Particularly,
the Bank where the deceased had an account valued at
about US$10 million dollars has issued me a notice to
provide the next of kin or have the account
confiscated within the next twenty official working
days.
since I have been unsuccessful in locating the the
relatives for over Four years now I seek your consent
to present you as the next of kin to the deceased so
that the proceeds of this account valued at $10
million dollars can be paid to you and then you and I
can share this money. 70% to me and 25% to you,while
5% should be for expenses or tax as your government
may require, I have all necessary legal documents that
can be used to back up any claim we may make.
All I require is your honest cooperation 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 in
touch with me via email as soon as you get this mail
to enable us discuss on the modalities and process for
success of this transaction.
I also request for your private telephone number, fax
number for easy and more confidential communication.
I await your kind response, Good day and God bless.
Best regards,
Br. Stanley Hall.
