JOHN JACKSON CHAMBERS,
LEGAL PRACTITIONERS AND PUBLIC NOTARY
AND HIGH COURT REPRESENTATIVE
301-302 BONNY CRESCENT
VICTORIA ISLAND,LAGOS NIGERIA.
ATTENTION:SIR/MADAM,
I hope this meets you in good health. My name is Barrister John Jackson
legal practitioner and Attorney to late Mr.Steve moore.who died in the
plane crash of Yak-40 jetliner on March 9, 2000.You may follow the link
below to read about the plane crash where my client lost his life:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/world/europe/672849.stm My late client was an
influential wealthy businessman,an Engineer Contractor in my Country and
a Russian Oil dealer and the Principal ownerof Oil Alliance Company.
He left behind a deposit of Twenty Seven Million,United States Dollars($27,000,000.USD)
in his domiciliary bank account in a commercial bank here in Nigeria Which
is one of the main reasons it has been very important to locate his next
of kin.After the death of my client his bankers contacted me,as his Attorney
to provide his next of kin who should inherit hisfortune. The board of Directors
of his bank adopted a resolution and I was mandated to provide his next
of kin for the payment of this money or forfeit the money to
the bank as an unclaimed fund.
The bankers had planned to invoke a clause in the property Act, to confiscate
the funds after the expiration of a period given to me.I came across your
name, while trying to locate documentation'sregarding possible relatives
of my client in his country of origin and convienced that you may be able
to act in locus for my late client as his next of kin.
I therefore, decided to contact you with these facts before me because
of the status quo.By virtue of my brief and my closeness to deasedthe,iam
very much aware of my client's financial standing and the bank account operates
here in my country.
I have reasoned very professionally and I feel it will be legally proper
to present you as the next of kin of my deceased client and the sole beneficiary
of his estate, so that you can be paid the funds left in his bank account.
I seek your consent to present you as the Next of
Kin;the bank needs only the facts as presented legally.The rest is between
you and I and with my guide we can have the money paid into your account,
once this is done we shall both share the funds.
50% to me and 40% to you, while 10% should be for Taxes as your Government
may require, I shall assemble all the necessary legal documents that will
be used to back up our claim.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see is transaction
through,I assure you that this transaction will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect us from any breach of law.Please contact me
through my direct email (barrister_johnjackson500@yahoo.es)
Best Regards,
Barrister,John Jackson (Esq).
