Attn Sir/ Madam,
I am Douglas Clark a solicitor and legal practitioner based in United
Kingdom. I am the personal attorney to Dr. George Brumley who was a
consultant with Shell UK LTD here in London, who shall be referred to as my
client.
On the 21st of July 2003, my client Dr. George Brumley and his family
were involved in a fatal plane crash in Nairobi Kenya, West Africa.
Unfortunately my client Mr. George and his family lost their lives.
Here is the website of the incident that struck on that faithful day.
http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/07/20/kenya.crash/index.html
Since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of my clients
extended relatives and this has proved unsuccessful.
After my several unsuccessful attempts to locate any member of his
family hence I contacted you.
I am contacting you to assist in repatriating the money left behind by
my client before they get confiscated or declared unclaimed by the
security company where this huge deposit were lodged.
Particularly, the finance company where the deceased had the said fund
valued at USD20 million dollars has issued me a notice to provide the
next of kin.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 3
years, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the
deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at $20 Million Dollars
can be paid to your account abroad, you will have 30% of the money for
your role while I will have 60% and 10% for expenses that we may incur
in the cause of processing the claim.
I have access to all necessary legal documents that can be used to back
up any claim we may make. 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 from any breach of the law.
Please kindly get back to me through my email address or personal phone
number for confidentiality and send to me your telephone and fax
numbers to enable us discuss further about this transaction.
Best regards,
Douglas Clark (esq.)
