GOOD DAY, ATTENTION:
I am Barrister William Kof, a Solicitor I am the Personal Attorney to Engr.
John Williams, a national of your country, who used to be an Shipping
merchant in the netherlands.On the 24th of August 1999, my client, his wife
and their three children were involved in a car accident along Rotterdam
Express Road.All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost there lives.
Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy here in my country
to locate any of my client‘s 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 to
no avail, hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left
behind by my client before they get confiscticated or declared unserviceable
by the security company where this huge deposits were lodged.As soon as I
hear from you, we shall discuss the mordalities of processing this money in
your favour, hence it has become obvious that the later has no
relatives.Particularly, the Security company where the deceased had
deposited the amount $14.6m, (fourteen million six hundred thousand dollars)
has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the fund
confiscated within the next ten official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2 years
now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased so
that the proceeds,of this fund $14.6m (fourteen million six hundred
thousand dollars) can Be delivered to you and then you and I can share the
money in an agreeable percentage that we shall reach as we progress. 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 by telephone (preferably) to enable us discuss
further on the modalities for executing this project.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 and
Me, from any breach of the law.So what i will require from you is to send me
these details below;
1.FULL NAME
2,CONTACT ADDRESS
3,TEL/FAX NUMBER
