Tel;:233242325723
Dear Sir/Madam;
Compliments of the day to you. I must solicit your confidentiality and assure you that I am contacting you in good faith and this proposal will be of benefit to both of us. I am Barrister.Abu Saleh (Esq.) a personal attorney to Mr Mark Pitts who was a major contractor/expatriate with Obuasi Gold Mines in Gold coast Ghana was killed with his entire family in a fatal accident, sparing none of their lives, some years ago. Before his death, I assisted him in the deposit of some funds ( US$12.5Million ) in International commercial bank of Ghana (I C B) for safekeeping. The funds have remained unclaimed since his death, and such unclaimed funds are appropriated and returned to the treasury as a matter of Govt policy. Considering the lack of success in my bid to locate any of his relatives for over a year now, I hereby solicit your consent to enable me present you as the Next of Kin to my deceased client.
Iam contacting you for two reasons. Firstly, both of you are the same national, which makes the claim most credible. Secondly, I strongly believe that the bank does not deserve to inherit the funds, These reasons led to my resolve to claim the funds which was why I contacted you, With your permission, I will proceed to establish you as the next of kin/Beneficiary to my late client. As soon as this is done, you will then give instructions to the bank, to transfer the deposited funds into account you will provide, after which we shall then share the funds upon agreed terms.
Finally, I demand that you keep this transaction confidential till we complete the deal and also confirm that the funds have been transferred into any nominated bank account of ours. I want you to furnish me with the following information’s which will assist us in this claim.
1,FULL NAME
2,CONTACT ADDRESS
3,TELEPHONE AND FAX
4,OCCUPATION.
5,AGE/MARITAL STATUS
This information will assist me to secure the necessary papers in yourname when I receive your response, I will provide you with further
details.
I need your reply.
Barrister Abu Saleh(Esq)
