Subject: bussiness proposal!
Good day,
I am mrs.tracy
Nana Brown , Solicitor and Notary
Public, the personal attorney to Mr. Dennis Yeung, the
president of DIAMOND SAFARIES CO.LTD.ACCRA-GHANA.
On the 21st of April 2003, my client, his wife and
their only son were Involved in a car accident along
ACCRA/KUMASI Express Road. Unfortunately, they all
lost their lives in the event of the accident, since
then I have made several enquiries to locate any of my
clients extended relatives and 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 contacted you to assist in repatriating the money
and property left behind before they get confiscated
or declared unserviceable by the bank where my client
lodged these huge deposits.
Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an
account valued at about $7 Million US Dollars.
Consequently, the bank issued me a notice to provide
the next of kin or have the account confiscated within
a short time. Since I have been unsuccessful in
locating the relatives for over a year now, I seek
your consent to present you as the next of kin of the
deceased since you share the same surname so that the
proceeds of this account valued at 7 Million Dollars
can be paid to you for both of us to share the money;
45% to me and 45% to you, while 10% should be for
expenses or tax as your government may require. I have
all necessary legal documents that can be used to
backup the claim.
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 through my email to enable us discuss
further. If is your relative or not..let me know if
you are interested to stand to make the claim due to
bearing the same last surname with my late client. In
other to tell you what its required to execute this
deal. We will jointly take care of notarization of all
relevant required documents from the high court here
in Ghana before you will contact the bank as the Next
of Kin. Bye for now and thanks for your understanding.
Best Regards,
Tracy Nana Brown Esq
