Dear Friend,
I am Peter Harley,a private Mortgage broker of Prominent Financial Services
Ltd 1650 in middlesex U.K, and I happen to have managed a particular
account for a Resident Foreigner,here in the United Kingdom,who died
Intestate, leaving in our care a sizable amount in a domiciliary Investment
Account. For some reason this client does not have an easily identifiable
next of Kin and I have made several enquiries to locate any of my clients
relatives; immediate and extended, this has proved unsuccessful,hence, I am
contacting you. I need your assistance in securing the money and property
left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared
unserviceable by the Finance House here in the United Kingdom. The Finance
House has already issued a Government Mandatory formality notice to provide
the Next of Kin or have the account confiscated and this
should expire within a month.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating any of his relatives for over two
years and convinced that no one is coming up and having satisfied the
mandatory legal requirement of Beneficiary/next of kin
Notification, I now seek a Reliable and Trustworthy person,with your consent
and perfect understanding, to present you as the next of kin of the deceased
so that the proceeds of this account,can be paid into an account to be
provided by you(preferably) outside the United Kingdom Financial
Institutions or its Isles), as the perceived Next Of Kin Legally and
Otherwise.
All I require is your honest cooperation and confidence in me; which I know
would not come easy. I guarantee that this will be executed under a
legitimate background that will protect you from any breach of the law. I
would advise that you give this positive consideration and get back to me
soon. I'll be flexible and considerate in the percentage share that will be
given to you for your assistance.
Upon receipt of your response I'll furnish you with further details.
Regards,
Peter Harley.
