URGENT ASSISTANCE.
Dear Amarjit Singh
Good Day,
I am Jerry Akukaria, Personal Attorney to the late
Mr.Patrick .J, A foreign construction engineer who was
resident here in Nigeria.My client died with his family while on Vacation at
Phuket Island in Thailand in December 2004.Asia Earth
Quake Disaster(TSUNAMI DISASTER)
http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2004/tsunami.disaster/ On
the 6th of January 2005,I recieved a phone call as his
personal Attorney which broke the tragic news of my
clients death in the Tsunami disaster.
Since then I have made several enquiries to locate any
of his extended relatives.This has proved
unsuccessful.l got your contact from the
Nigeria Chambers and Commence.
After several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to
trace his relatives over the internet hence I
contacted you. I seek your consent and assistance in
repartriating money left behind by my late client
before it gets confiscated or declared unserviceable
by the bank where the deposit is lodged.
The deposit is valued US$10,500,000.00 (Ten
Million,Five Hundred and Fifty Thousand United States
Dollars only) and it is lodged with Trans
International Bank Plc.
The bank has issued me an ultimatum to present a
next-of-kin of the deceased to inherit the funds or
have the account declared serviceable
two weeks ago.The board of directors of his bank
adopted a resolution and I was mandated to provide his
next of kin for the payment of this
money within 28 working days or forfeit the money to
the bank as an abandoned property.
The bankers had planned to invoke the abandoned
property decree of 1996 to confiscate the funds after
the expiration of the period given to me.
I hereby seek your consent to present you to the bank
as next-of-kin of the deceased, so that the proceeds
of this account valued US$10,500,000.00 can be
transferred to you as inheritance, and
thereafter you and me will share the money; 50% to me
and 45% to you, while 5% will be donated to the
Tsunami Disaster Charity Fund.
I have necessary legal documents that will be used to
support claim of the inheritance from the bank. All I
require is your honest
co-operation to enable us see the transaction through.
I guarantee that the transaction will be executed
under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you
from any breach of the law.
To commence the process of claiming the funds, I will
require the following information from you,
1.Your Full names.
2.Your Telephone and fax numbers.
3.Your Contact address.
4.Your Date of birth.
5.Your Occupation.
As soon as I recieve these information I will file-in
a formal application to the bank for the inheritance
in your name as next-of-kin
of the deceased.That will enable the bank to process
the transaction with you as beneficiary and remit the
funds in your name as
(Inheritor).
Thank you.
Yours faithfully,
Barrister Jerry Akukaria.
