RE: NEXT OF KIN !

Dear Sir/Madam,

I got your contact in course of my inquiry to locate relations of my Deceased Client who died in a car crash. On the 7th of August 2004 it was reported to us that my Client, his wife and their only daughter were involved in a car crash. The reason for this is to inherit a Contract Payment Deposits Account of $3.8 million of which the Deceased left in a Finance Firm. This request emerged when the Finance Firm contacted me for the attention of my Deceased Client (perhaps for
one reason or the other they have tried to contact him and was unsuccessful) I announced his death and protocols observed. I was mandated (as the deceased's attorney) to provide the Next of Kin to inherit the Deposits or they will freeze it as" Unclaimed Deposit" Unfortunately, and unknown to the Finance Firm, the Next of Kin was
among the dead in the car crash.

But rather leaving the Deposits/Account frozen hence I seek your help to claim the fund into your Account as you share same names with the Deceased and I have the required Information to execute the transaction under legal process.Upon the conclusion of this transaction, I will come to your country,for the disbursement of this fund, which 40% of the total amount will be your compensation, while 60% will be my share for the investment I will need your help to establish in your country. Email: james_obj@yahoo.com

Yours Faithfully,
Barrister James Obi Esq.

Holy Trinity – June 19, 2011

 

Pro-Life Sunday  

1. “Today, as we celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, we also recognize the wonderful gift of fatherhood....  Fathers are the first protectors of the family, and along with mothers, the primary educators about life for their children, young people learn what it means to build a new culture of life in Canada....  I ask parents once again to educate their children in living the pro-life message by explaining to them why life is a gift always to be respected from conception to natural death.  Our Archdiocesan “Prayer for Reverence for Life” is a helpful tool to bring the Gospel of life to our children in daily prayer within the family.  Let us ask God to make every family a sanctuary of life where unconditional respect for every human is fostered.”

       - Excerpt from message by Archbishop J. Michael Miller, CSB
