Attention: : Steven
My name is Barrister Thomas Woodman. I am a barrister, solicitor
and notary public, the personal attorney to Mr.
Michael peter of Transfield Worley (New Zealand) Ltd.
Who is a national of your country. On the 21st of
April 2002, my client, his wife and their only son
were involved in a fatal autocrash in Here in
Johanisbug- South Africa. Unfortunately they
all lost their lives in the event of the accident,
since then I have made several enquiries to locate any
of my clients extended relatives and this has also
proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided
to trace his relatives over the Internet, to locate
any member of his family but of no avail, hence I
contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and
property left behind before they get confiscated or
declared unserviceable by the Finance house here where
my client lodge these huge deposits. Particularly, the
Finance house where the deceased had an account valued
at about Nine Million United States Dollars.
Consequently, the Finance house issued me a notice to
provide the next of kin or have the account
confiscated within a short time. Since I have been
unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over some
years now, I seek your consent to present you as the
next of kin of the deceased so that the proceeds of
the account valued at Nine Million United States
Dollars can be paid to you for both of us to share; I
have all legal documents that can be used to backup
the claim.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us
see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be
executed under a legitimate arrangement that will
protect you from any breach of the law. Please get
back to me via my personal e-mail:
twoodman002@yahoo.com to enable us discuss further.
Thanks for your kind co-operation
Regards,
Barr. Thomas Woodman
