Subject: HELLO Wojciechowski,
From: Barrister Dan Johnson
Johnson chamber's Accra Ghana
HELLO Wojciechowski,
I am Barrister.Dan Johnson, solicitor and notary public and the personal
attorney to Mr.MARK Wojciechowski, Who is a national of your country. On
the 21st of April 2002, 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 proved unsuccessful.
After making all the necessary efforts and several unsuccessful attempts to
locate any of my deceased client true relative I decided to trace his
relatives
over the Internet, to locate any member of his family but all was to no
avail, hence I contacted you because of the surname similarity. I contacted
you to assist me in retriving a baggage containing money deposited by my
deceased client with a security company here in Acrra Ghana before they get
confiscated or declared unserviceable by the security company,My deceased
client has a deposit valued (US$7.5 million) U.S dollars with a security
company here.
I have the necessary legal documents that can be used to backup the claim
for the release of the deposit to your favour as the next of kin
beneficiary,the security company issued me a notice to provide the next of
kin or have the deposit confiscated or forced to be open within a short time
to know what is inside.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over some years
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 the deposit
valued US$7.5million can be released to you for both of us to share the
funds inside; 50% to me and 45% to you, while 5% should be for expenses and
tax as your government may require.In view of the above did i contacted you,
I also want to inform you of the need to make preparations to come down here
to Ghana where the security company maintains there headoffice for
the clain of the deposit.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 e-mail to enable us discuss further, or better still let me have
your contact telephone numbers for oral details as we progress.
Thanks for your kind co-operation
BarrDan Johnson
