Subject: RE: Heir Aquisition
Dear Respondent ,
This is a personal email directed to you and I request that it be treated as such. I am Barrister Louis Mbanefo, a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney/sole executor to Thomas Kosky (Our Client),now deceased and hereinafter referred to as 'Our client' who worked as contractor with Chevron Texaco an oil magnate in my country and was killed as a result of an attack from Niger Delta Militants. Hence, Since the death of Our client, I have written several letters to the embassy 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 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 in which my client deposited . On this note I decided to search for a credible person and finding that you have the same Nationality, I decided to contact you, that I may, with your consent, present you to the "trustee" bank as my late client's Next of Kin 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 possible for the fuller reasons that you have the same Nationality with my client making it a lot easier for you to put up a claim in that capacity. I propose that 50% of the net sum will accrue to you at the conclusion of this deal in so far as I do not incur further expenses. Therefore, to facilitate the immediate transfer of this fund, you need, first to contact me via signifying your interest and as soon as I obtain your confidence, I will immediately appraise you with the complete details as well as the documents, with which you are to proceed and i shall direct on how to put up an application to the bank.
HOWEVER, you will have to assent to an express agreement which I will forward to you in order to bind us in this transaction. Upon the receipt of your reply, I will send you by E-mail the next step to take. 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. Like I have implied, I require only a solemn confidentiality on this.
Best regards,
Barrister Louis Mbanefo
