Your Kind Attention Dear"
I am contacting you for a business relationship that will be of great benefit to you and my family, I am Barr. Cecil Kwashie Adadevh, a Solicitor; the personal attorney to late Eng. Kellogg Brown, who owned a construction company here in Ghana and was also in partnership with Technip Iberia, Engineering/Construction Company located in Barcelona Spain before the incident that took him and his entire family's life occurred last two year.
Since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of his relatives to claim the fund he left behind but this has proved unsuccessful, After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace over the Internet to locate any of his family member but to no avail.
Particularly, the deceased left behind the sum of $23 million dollars with a Bank in Spain and this fund came as a result of his in partnership with Technip Iberia; meanwhile I have made inquiries with the bank for the release of the fund and was told to present my late client's next of kin within the next ten official working days before the release of the fund.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating my late client's relatives for over two year now, I therefore seek your consent to present you as his next of kin to claim the fund so that the fund will be release/transfer to your foreign bank account as his rightful beneficiary, note that there are practically no risks involved because I will provide all the necessary legal documents that will back up our claim.
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 and I do not need to remind you of the need for absolute confidentiality if this transaction must be successfully succeed.
After the release/transfer of this fund to your account, I will come over to your country to meet with you for further investment plan as I will like us to invest this fund on proper business ventures that will be lucrative in your country under partnership.
If you have accepted to offer your assistance in this regard kindly reply with your private telephone number or call me on +233 24 680 8221 for more clarification/details of transaction.If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me because this very project requires understanding, I express my sincere appreciation, while awaiting your prompt response/call.
