Dear Visser,
I am Barrister Ikeji Charles, a solicitor at law,and the personal attorney
to Late Mr. Mark Visser, a foreigner, who used to work with an oil company
here in my country.
Before his death some four years ago, my client, his wife and their three
daughters were resident in this country before the ill-fated day that they
met their death as a result of a mob attack on their way back from a Sunday
outing.
My client (Mark) before his death deposited with one of the leading banks in
Nigeria the sum of $17 Million and other personal effects for safe keeping,
with the hope of transferring it to his country as soon as he is free to do
so.
Unfortunately this was not to be as a result of his sudden death. Since his
death I have made several enquiries through his embassy to locate any of my
client's extended relatives, which has been unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts,I decided to contact you. I have
contacted you to assist in reclaiming the money and property left behind by
my client before they get it confiscated or declared unserviceable by the
bank.
Now the BANK has issued me the last notice to provide the next of kin or
have the MONEY confiscated. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the
relatives, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin/heir to the
deceased since you have the same last name with him so that this deposit
of($17million dollars) will be paid to you and then you and I can share the
money thus: 50% for you and 50% for me while we will jointly take care
of any expenses (if any) that may arise. Please you are free to give your
own opinion on this sharing modality if you so wish.
Again the fact that my client did not leave any specific instruction as to
who inherits this wealth makes it easier since the law stipulates that under
such circumstance the heir must be a foreigner and this is why I have
contacted you.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us seeing this deal
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you and I from any breach of the law.
Please get in touch with me through my alternate email address:
ikejicharles@aim.com
Best regards,
Barr. Charles
