Subject: ATTENTION
Principal Attorney
(Phil Ebozie & Associate Chambers)
Accra, Ghana.
Dear Wen,
I am Barrister Phil Ebozie a solicitor at Law and Personal Attorney to Mr.
Allan Wen, an expatriate who worked as a contractor here in Accra Ghana,
herein referred to as my late client.
On the 30th of April 2003, my client was involved in a car accident along
Accra express way and all the occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost
their lives.
Since then I have made several enquiries here to locate any of my client’s
extended relatives, but this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to search through with
his name which motivated me to contact you to locate any member of his
family hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the fund valued at US$9.5
million left behind by my late client before it gets confiscated or declared
unserviceable by the bank where this huge amount is deposited.
The said Security & Finance Firm/bank has issued me a notice to provide the
next of kin or have his account confiscated within the next twenty one
twenty one official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over two years
now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased
to the Security & Finance Firm / bank so that the proceeds of this account
can be paid to you.
Therefore on receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss the
sharing ratio and modalities for transfer and I will provide an application
which you will submit to the Security Finance Firm/bank as his next of kin
for payment approval .
You should note that I have all the necessary information and legal
documents needed to back up this claim.
All I required from you is your honest co-operation to enable us see this
transaction through for our mutual benefits.
I await your immediate response through my alternate email address:
philebozie@yahoo.co.in
Best regards.
Phil Ebozie (Esq.).
