Dear VICTIMNAME,
Thank you for responding to my letter. I am the
administrator of the estate of Richard Burson, my late
client, you need not worry over the legality of this
transaction.
Like you already know, my name is Bar.Henry Slater
and I am an Attorney, Please note that you must
contact me on my direct telephone numbers or via e-mail only
as stated above, for confidentiality sake.
It is unfortunate, that I cannot afford to give you
all the details,like the bank where the money is
deposited for now, as I need to be sure of your
position before I can do that, due to the very sensitive
nature of my position as it relates to this matter.
Let me take this opportunity to give you a brief on
how we intend to succeed with this transaction, hitch
free. I will need you to send to me:
(a) your full names, your complete home / mailing
address,
(b) your confidential telephone and fax numbers
Once I receive your complete details, we would be able
to commence by my firms' writing a claims letter on
your behalf to the bank, to formally introduce you as
next of kin to my late client, Richard Burson.
In order to prove you as next of kin to my late
client, Richard Burson, to be able to lay claim to the
estate on behalf of you and us over here, which is the
main purpose of this relationship, I will use your
information to prepare the necessary documents and
affidavits and probate letter of Mandamus that will
put you in place of the next of kin.
Since I have in my possession as his personal lawyer,
the deposit certificate of the amount of
US$15.5million of my late client which does not
contain any name on the next of kin column, Your name
will now take the place with the proper affidavit to
back it up.
Once we get these documents and submit the claim
affidavit on your behalf, the application is approved
and you will need to sign the release documents for
the money to be paid into your account. I will not
play any role from when the bank starts to contact you
until the money hits your account, because as the
administrator of the estate, I am not supposed to play
an active role other than the filing of the application on
your behalf, to avoid any form of suspicions from the
bank. Our estimation of time from when I get your
complete details to when the money is hits your
account should not be more than two weeks. There is no
risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction
will be done by me and our contact at the bank.
Please observe utmost confidentiality, and be rest
assured that this transaction would be most profitable
for both of us. I thank you once again and wait for
your details.
I await your prompt response.
Best regards,
Bar.Henry Slater.
