Dear Sir,
Compliments of the day and how are you doing today?
My Name is Barrister Jones Douglas of the above address and Personal
Attorney to one late PETER CRAIG a national of your country, he died on his
way to a seminar in auto crash on the 10th day of October 2004. My late
client was the Chief Executive officer of {African development Oil Company}
for 25 years and he was retired onthe 30th day of September 2004.
He was re-contracted as a petroleum consultant to the company before
this unfortunately incident occured on the above date just after a Month.He
left all his credentials with my chamber for the drafting of his new
Contract Agreement that will bind his new contract with African
Development Company.Before his death my client made a numbered time (fixed)
deposit for twelve calendar months valued at US$7.5M with the (OCEANIC BANK
PLC) with open beneficiary and No one will ever come forward to claim this
fund since his sudden death and according to Nigerian banking law the money
will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian government if the account
owner is certified dead and nobody comes forward to claim it after five
years.
So far, the bank has just written my chamber a routine notification to
Provide the next of kin of my late PETER CRAIG or have the account
confiscated within the next ten official workingdays.This situation is
presently giving me a serious concern as to what i should do to
safeguard this ($7.5m)from this bank rules.
I want to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since i dont want
the government to confiscate this fund, we will share the
USD$7.5million dollars on 50% 50% basis ones we are through ok.
Pls i want to urge you to view this mail with every sense of responsibility
of purpose and treat your response with despatch.
Kindly reply on receipt of this mail through my alternative email box
Barrister Jones Douglas (barristerjonesdouglasdouglas@yahoo.com) only on the
basis of your acceptance to assist me in this transaction, you should
include your direct contact phone NUMBERS where we can open communications
with you.
Thanks for your anticipated response
Barrister Jones Douglas
