Dear Friend,
I presume this letter will come to you as a surprise, but as things
unfold,we will know each other better. I will start by introducing myself to
you.My name is Thomas Cole a solicitor at law.
I am writing in respect of a foreigner Mr Richard Burson,who happens to be
my client an oil merchant and contractor who perished in a plane crash of
31st October 1999[WITH EGYPTIAN AIRLINE 990] with other passengers aboard.
Since the demise of my client I personally have watched with keen interest
to see the next of kin but all has proved abortive as no one has come to
claim his funds of US$28.5m(Twenty Eight Million Five Hundred Thousand
United States Dollar) and all the relevant documents in the bank has no
record of any next of kin. On this note, I decided to seek for whom his name
shall be used as his next of kin so I have contacted you to assist in
repatriating most especially, the money left behind by my client before they
get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where the huge
deposits were lodged.
Particularly, the Equity Development Bank Plc where the deceased had an
account valued at about Usd28.5 million dollars has issued me a notice to
provide the Next of kin, or have the account confiscated.
I seek your consent to present you as the Next of kin of the deceased, I
know you can assist me as I need somebody who is trustworthy and willing to
assist me get the funds transfered.Whcih the account which my late client
operate is valued at Usd28.5 million dollars can be paid to you, as my
clients Next of Kin, and then we can share the amount on a mutual agreed
percentage.
All legal documents to back up your claim as the deceased Next of Kin will
be provided. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this
deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under al egitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law and you should
endeavor to keep it confidential.
