Attention Please
I am Barrister Micheal Kuller (Esq). I had a client
who shared the same surname with you. He was a Citizen
of your Country and worked with MULTI-MEDIA PARTNERS
INCORPORATED, London.On the 2nd of August 2004, my
client, his wife and
their two children were involved in a car accident
along Manchester Express Road. All occupants of the
vehicle
unfortunately lost their lives.Since then, I have made
several frantic enquiries at your Embassy here in
London, to locate any of my
client's extended relatives, this has also proved no
success. After
these series of unsuccessful attempts, I decided to
trace his relatives over the internet, to locate any
member of his family ,but to no avail, hence I
contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist me in repatriating the
money left behind by my client before they got it
confiscated or declared it unserviceable by the
Finance House where
this money was deposited.Particularly and more
seriously, the Finance House where the deceased made a
deposit valued at US$20M. They gave me an ultimatum to
provide the next-of-kin within the
shortest possible time or have the funds indefinitely
confiscated within the next 10 official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the
relatives for over nine (9) months now, I therefore
seek your consent as alast resort to present you as
the next of kin to the deceased (My Late Client) so
that the proceeds of this deposit valued at US$20M can
be paid to you and then you and I can share the money
among ourselves in the following ratio: 55% to me, 35%
to you and the last 10% should be for expenses or tax
as your government may required.
I have all the necessary legal documents that can be
used to back up any claim we may make, all I require
is your honest co-operation and sincerity to enable us
see this
transaction through. I guarantee that this will be
executed under a very legitimate arrangement that will
protect both of us from any breach of the law, and my
profession as a lawyer guarantees that.
I shall highlight the necessary steps to take soon as
I acknowledge your anticipated affirmative reply.
Once again,Please, Reply only to:

Most Sincerely,
BARR Micheal Kuller (ESQ)
Attorney-At-Law.
