Subject: RE: URGENT RESPONSE NEEDED.
From the Desk of; Attorney Donald Whitewood. Donald Whitewood Law
Chambers (Solicitor, Senior Advocate and Notary Public), London,
United Kingdom. Dear Sir/Ma, My name is Donald Whitewood, I am a
Lawyer by profession and the personal attorney to my late client “Mr.
Darrell Blakeley”. My client “Mr. Darrell Blakeley” 88years old was
among the victims who lost their lives during the pandemic COVID-19.
My client who had been suffering with an underlying health condition
for several weeks before contacting the corona virus, and he died on
the 13th of March, 2020, after undergoing treatment at North
Manchester General Hospital here in London, United kingdom. Please
visit the below site for confirmation;

Since the death of my late client, his bank (Lloyds Bank) where he has
a trust account deposit of £7.4m (Seven Million and Four Hundred
Thousand British Pound Sterling) have contacted me as his personal
attorney, to provide the next of kin to my client, so that his fund
valued at £7,400,000.00m can be released to his next of kin. My late
client “Mr. Darrell Blakeley” was never married, but had one daughter
from his mistress in Dublin, Ireland. According to report gotten from
source, his daughter and mistress died in a ghastly car accident on
their way to Scotland in December 2017. Ever since the death of my
client in March, I have made several attempts to locate any member of
his relative, so that I can present the relative to the bank (Lloyds
Bank) as his Next of Kin, to enable the bank (Lloyds Bank) release his
fund £7.4m to the relative, but all effort proved unsuccessful for me.
Hence, I am contacting you because as his personal attorney, I have
been given an ultimatum by his bank (Lloyds Bank) to provide his Next
of Kin before the 5th of April, 2021, else they will be faced with no
other option than to confiscate his fund and return it to the British
government coffers as unclaimed fund. Now, I am seeking your
assistance in helping me repatriate these fund £7.4m from his bank
(Lloyds Bank) rather than having it confiscated, so that you and I can
share it according to agreement reached between the both of us, and
give some part of it to the church because my late client was a good
Christian and a member of his church elder’s council. I have most of
the necessary legal documents/papers in my chamber, which may be
required by his bank (Lloyds Bank) to prove you as the rightful Next
of Kin/beneficiary. All that I require from you is Trust and
Transparency, to prove that you will not swindle me after the funds
must have been transferred to you by his bank (Lloyds Bank). Please
indicate your readiness to assist me in this ordeal by providing the
below details, to enable me prepare a Letter that will be forwarded to
the bank, presenting you before the bank (Lloyds Bank) as his Next of
Kin; 1. Your Full Names. 2. Your Contact Address. 3. Your Direct
Telephone Number. 4. Your Occupation. 5. Your Date of Birth. As soon
as I receive the above details from you, I shall prepare the Letter
containing your details, and present it to the bank (Lloyds Bank) for
them to contact you immediately as his Next of Kin. Thanks and waiting
to hear from you. Respectfully, Attorney Donald Whitewood (LLB Hons).
Donald Whitewood Law Chamber. London, United Kingdom.
