Subject: HELLO
DEAR
I am Barrister James Tobo an attorney at law, I am just back from Thailand
where I identified the corpse of my late client Mr Mark Bush, who sadly died
recently alongside all in family in the unfortunate Tsunami incident.
My client and all his family (wife and 2 kids) went to Thailand for holidays
and got killed there when the flood ensued, I have identified their corpse
and have made arrangements for their remains to be buried in Thailand there
and i pray that the almighty grants them eternal rest.
The main reason why am writing you is because my late client has a fixed
cash deposit in one of the banks in London here and he died without leaving
a will, I have tried contacting his only living relative (who does not even
know that this money exists) for weeks now but learnt that he moved out of
his rented apartment without leaving any forwarding address, if I do not
provide a next of kin very soon this bank will convert this money for
themselves so I contacted them through my late client's financial and
investment advisor that I am trying to contact his next of kin and will
reach them as soon as I do. This bank and this financial advisor knows that
I am Mr Bush's lawyer so cannot dispute whomever I present as next of kin
especially as I was present and instrumental to his establishing this fixed
cash deposit with this bank and I have all the necessary documents regarding
that and also the source of this money.
All you need to do is stand as the next of kin to my client and you will
receive this money. The total amount of this deposit is 8 million pounds and
I have all the necessary documents and information the bank will require
from you so all you need to do is stand as next of kin and we will get this
money out of this bank without any stress at all.
I am sure that this transaction will be very smooth and totally risk free
because I have all we will need to get this claim from the bank all i need
is someone to stand as next of kin
If you are interested in working with me on this please send me a fax to my
fax number 44 8701345557 or call me on my phone number on 44
7979815465(Email Address: toboj3@yahoo.com) so that I will send you more
details and I will be in London till we conclude this transaction.
I await your quick reply and if you are not interested please kindly destroy
this mail and forget I ever wrote you.
JAMES TOBO
