Greetings to you,
This is a personal email directed to you and I request that
it be treated as such. I am Brain Walker, a personal
attorney/sole executor to the late Engineer Robert M.
Hereinafter referred to as" my client" I represent the
interest of my client killed with his immediate family in a
fatal motor accident in East London on November 5, 2002. and
I will like to negotiate the terms of investment of
resources available to him.
My late client worked as consulting engineer &
sub-comptroller with Genesis Oil and Gas Consultants Ltd
here in the United Kingdom and had left behind a deposit of
Six Million Eight Hundred Thousand British Pounds Sterling
only (£6.8million) with a finance company. The funds
originated from contract transactions he executed in his
registered area of business. Just after his death, I was
contacted by the finance house to provide his next of kin,
reasons been that his deposit agreement contains a residuary
clause giving his personal attorney express authority to
nominate the beneficiary to his funds. Unknown to the bank,
Robert had left no possible trace of any of his close
relative with me, making all efforts in my part to locate
his family relative to be unfruitful since his death. In
addition, from Robert’s own story, he was only adopted and
his foster parents whom he lost in 1976, according to him
had no possible trace of his real family.
The funds had remained unclaimed since his death, but I had
made efforts with intent to locate any of his extended
relatives whom shall be claimants/beneficiaries of his
abandoned personal estate, and all such efforts have been to
no avail. More so, I have received official letters in the
last few weeks suggesting a likely proceeding for
confiscation of his abandoned personal assets in line with
existing laws by the bank However, it will interest you to
know that I discovered that some directors of this finance
company are making plans already to have this fund to
themselves only to use the excuse that since I am unable to
find a next of kin to my late client then the funds should
be confiscated, meanwhile their intentions is to have the
funds retrieved for themselves.
I reasoned very professionally and resolved to use a legal
means to retrieve the abandoned funds, and that is to
present the next of kin of my deceased client to the bank.
This is legally possible and would be done in accordance
with the laws. On this note, I decided to search for a
credible person and finding that you bear a similar last
name, I was urged to contact you, that I may, with your
consent, present you to the "trustee" bank as my late
client's surviving family member so as to enable you put up
a claim to the bank in that capacity as a next of kin of my
client. I find this to be possible for the fuller reasons
that you are of the same nationality and you bear a similar
last name with my late client making it a lot easier for you
to put up a claim in that capacity. I have all vital
documents that would confer you the legal right to lay claim
to the funds, and it would back up your claim. I am willing
to make these documents available to you so that the p
roceeds of this bank account valued at £6.8million can be
paid to you before it is confiscated or declared
unserviceable to the bank where this huge amount is lodged.
I do sincerely sympathize the death of my client but I think
that it is unprofitable for his funds to be submitted to the
government of this country or some financial institution. I
seek your assistance since I have been unable to locate the
relatives for the past four years now and since no one would
come for the claim. I seek your consent to present you as
the next of kin of the deceased since you have the same last
name giving you the advantage which also makes the claim
most credible . In that stand, the proceeds of this account
can be paid to you. Then, we talk about percentage. I know
there are others with the same surname as my client, but
after a little search, my instinct tells me to contact you.
I shall assemble all the necessary documents that would be
used to back up your claim.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law. I
will not fail to bring to your notice that this proposal is
hitch-free and that you should not entertain any fears as
the required arrangements have been made for the completion
of this transfer. As I said, I require only a solemn
confidentiality on this. Please get in touch via my
alternative email esq_bwalker@hotmail.com for better
confidentiality and if okay by you, send me your telephone
and fax numbers to enable us discuss further on this
transaction. Contact number is +44-704-571-1062 (Calling me
should not be any problem all you need to do is to dial your
country code before dialling my number Tel:
+44-704-571-1062) If this proposal is acceptable by you, do
not take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed in
you, Thanks for your understanding.
Kind Regards.
Brain Walker
