STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL.
FROM THE DESK OF:ATTORNEY DANNY CLANCYHARLEQUIN CHAMBERS5, FINCHELEY LANE, LONDON, SW1 +44-703-19-22-093
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Attorney Danny Clancy, personal attorney to Late Mr. Jim Thompson, aNational of United States of America, who used to work with The ROYAL DUTCH PETROLEUM Company (SHELL) here in London, who herein after shall be referred to as my client.
On the 21st of April 2004, my client, his wife and their two children were involved in a ghastly motor accident and they lost their lives as the vehicle caught fire after the crash.
Since then I have made several inquiries to American embassy, HERE IN LONDON to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has proved abortive. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to seek for a foreigner who will stand as the next of kin to Mr. Jim Thompson .
My purpose of contacting you is to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by my client prior to his death before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable, by the bank where his deposits were lodged with halifax bank london.
The bank has already issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account Confiscated, and declared dormant within the next ten (10) official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating his relatives for over 2 years now I seek your consent to represent him as his next of kin since you are you are a foreigner so that the proceeds of this account valued at usd$15.5m (Fifteen million five hundred thousand united state dollars) can be released to you and then we can share the money afterwards, I have all the necessary official and legal documents that can be used to back up the claim we may make. All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us in seeing this transaction through i have maped out 25% of the total money for you while 5% will be for any expenses we incure towards the transaction and 70% will be for me and my collaegues.I am constrained to take this action as if I don’t want corrupt bank officials to seize the money, or the government would impound it into the already bloated National treasury, where it would be looted by corrupt politicians, or used to fund unnecessary wars, that escalate and end innocent lives.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
PLEASE REPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING:
1. NAME 2. OCCUPATION 3. ADDRESS 4. PHONE NUMBER/MOBILE NUMBER/FAX NUMBER This information would enable me file an application with the bank for IMMEDIATE PAYMENT, of my late clients benefits to you as his next of kin.
Yours in lawful service,
Barrister Danny Clancy (ESQ)
