Attn: Dave Nigel
This is a personal email directed to you and I request that it should
be treated as such. I am Paul Goodman, a lawyer and solicitor at law.
I am the personal attorney/sole executor to the late George Nigel
hereinafter referred to as my client’ who worked as an independent oil
merchant in my country UK before he died in a car crash with his
immediate family on the 28th of July, 2008.
I carried out this search on you and I am contacting you because you
bear a similar last name with that of my late client and the further
reasons are as follows:
Since the death of my client in July, 2008, I have written several
letters to his embassy with an intent to locate any of his extended
relatives who shall be claimants/beneficiaries of his abandoned
personal estate and all such efforts have been to no avail.
However, going by the recent publications by the Trustee bank in which
my client deposited the sum of £8.7m (GBP), I fear a likely winding
up proceedings in the coming months. I seek your consent therefore, to
present you to the trustees as my client’s next of kin since you bear
a similar last name with him so that you can help repatriate the money
to a foreign account and I promise a fair share between us at the end
of the transfer.
If you are very interested, contact me through my secured email
address; [email protected] so I can appraise you with
further details. I assure you that I have all the requirements to
execute this claim legitimately.
Please let me have your opinion as soon as possible and send to me
your telephone and fax numbers to enable us to discuss further on this
transaction.
Best regards,
Mr. Paul Goodman
