Dear, Sir
I am Barrister Godwin Bawalksin , the Personal Attorney to Mr. Phillip
martins a national of
Your country and a co founder of (EXTANAL OIL & GAS MACHANT PLC). Here in
Nigeria...
On the 21st of April/2005. Mr. Kim, his wife and their three children were
involved in a car
Accident along Lokoja Abuja Express Way on his way back from a holiday trip
with his family
With his caravan unfortunately they all lost their lives in the event of the
accident.
Since then I have made several enquiries to your Embassy to locate any of my
client's
Extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After several
unsuccessful attempts, I
Decided to trace his relatives over the Internet to locate any member of his
family
but to no avail, now because of your surname I contacted you to see if
theirs any link.
Sir, I contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left
behind by my client
Before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where
these huge deposits were lodged... I have every document of the deceased,
his life insurance and deposits in his
Fixed accounts worth about twenty seven million US dollars.
The bank issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account
confiscated within
the next twenty official working days.
I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since
you are from the
Same country... I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to
back up any claim
We may make.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us seeing this work
through. I guarantee that
This will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you
from any breach of the law. Please get in touch with me by email to enable
us discuss further.
Yours Faithfully
Barrister Godwin Bawalksin
