*FROM THE DESK OF BEST CHAMBERS
BARRISTER Fani Kayode,
Dear Panel,
I am Barrister Fani Kayode, an attorney and Barrister at law. I am the
personal attorney to Mr. Ken Panel, a citizen of your country, who work with
(R.C.C) Construction Company Here in Nigeria. Herein after referred to as my
client. On the 21st of April 2006, my client, his wife Valerie and their two
Children (Larry and Daren) died in an plane crash on one of Eastern parts of
the country and since then I have made several inquiries to locate any of my
clients extended relatives. After several unsuccessful attempts, I decided
to look for somebody reliable to this fund.
I have contacted you to assist in claiming the funds left behind by my
client before the bank confiscates or declare the fund unserviceable. Until
his death my client had WILL and maintained a US Dollars currency deposit
account with a closing balance of US$6.5 Million deposited in the bank here
and I have received a letter from the bank indicating to recover all such
dormant and unclaimed accounts to the invest it with other Funds through the
capital market, but we have cleverly informed them that a member of his
family as next of kin has shown interest to claim the deposited amount.
It is for the urgency of this claim that I write to you to stand and receive
the money as next of kin since I have failed in attempts in locating the
relatives for over 2 years now. I seek your consent to present you as the
next of kin of the deceased since I can perfectly procure all the vital
documents that would aid the transfer into any account of my choice abroad.
I am prepared to disburse the money among ourselves depending on your early
reply then we can discuss the modalities If this proposal is acceptable to
you and you do not intend to take undue advantage of it, then trust we shall
best on you and your company, and kindly respond immediately to this mail
and furnishing me with your confidential telephone and fax numbers. I have
all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may
make regarding this fund.
As soon as I received your mail I shall contact you for us to work out the
modalities for the transfer of this money into your account. All I required
is your honesty and cooperation to enable us sees this deal lthrough.I
guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law and for more detail you can mail
me through my private email address (cbn_002@universia.es)
