Dear Barrister Peter Azu,
Thank you so much for reaching out — I truly appreciate the time and care you’ve taken to share this with me. I’m genuinely moved by the story of your late client, Engr. Patrick, and the tragedy he and his wife endured. It’s deeply sad, and I can only imagine how hard that must have been for you and his family.
I’ve been living in Houston for the past 15 years, working as a litigation attorney specializing in oil and gas disputes. I’m not exactly from Nigeria, but I do have a strong interest in international legal matters — especially those involving inheritance and due process. That said, I’m also a man who values trust, transparency, and proper legal procedure.
Before we move forward, I’d love to understand a few things:
1. Can you confirm the exact name of the bank where the account was held, and whether it’s a Nigerian institution?
2. Is there any documentation, such as a death certificate or will, that supports the claim of the account being held by Engr. Patrick?
3. Would you be able to provide a copy of the bank’s notice or any correspondence you’ve received regarding the account?
I’m very interested in helping, and I’d be happy to assist in any way — even just reviewing the documents or connecting with a legal expert in Nigeria if needed.
Looking forward to your reply.
Warmly,
Danny Smith
