GREETINGS TO YOU,
This is a personal email directed to you and I request that it be treated
as such. I am Steven Walker, a personal attorney/sole executor to the late
Engineer Robert here in after 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.
