Subject: Attention Please
FROM: BARR. FRANK MIKE (ESQ)
VICTORIA CHAMBERS,GREENBELT ZONE,
4 Albert Embankments, London
SE1 7SR, United Kingdom.
Attention Please
I am Barrister Frank Mike (Esq). I had a client who shared the same surname
with you.He was a Citizen of your Country and worked with MULTI-MEDIA
PARTNERS
INCORPORATED,London.
On the 2nd of August 2003, my client, his wife and their three children were
involved in a car accident along Manchester Express Road. All occupants of
the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.
Since then, I have made several frantic enquiries at your Embassy here in
London, to locate any of my client's extended relatives, this has also
proved no success.After these series of unsuccessful attempts, I decided to
trace his relatives over the internet, to locate any member of his family
,but to no avail, hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist me in repatriating the money left behind by
my client before they got it confiscated or declared it unserviceable by the
Finance House where this money was deposited. Particularly and more
seriously, the Finance House
where the deceased made a deposit valued at US$20M. They gave me an
ultimatum to provide the next-of-kin within the shortest possible time or
have the funds
indefinitely confiscated within the next ten official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over nine (9)
months now, I therefore seek your consent as a last resort to present you as
the next of kin to the deceased (My Late Client) so that the proceeds of
this deposit valued at US$20M
can be paid to you and then you and I can share the money among ourselves in
the following ratio: 60% to me, 35% to you and the last 5% should be for
expenses
or tax as your government may required.
I have all the necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any
claim we may make, all I require is your honest co-operation and sincerity
to enable us
see this transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a
very legitimate arrangement that will protect both of us from any breach of
the
law, and my profession as a lawyer guarantees that.
I shall highlight the necessary steps to take soon as I acknowledge your
anticipated affirmative reply.
Most Sincerely,
BARR. FRANK MIKE (ESQ)
Attorney-At-Law.
Victoria Chambers,
GreenBelt Zone,London, Uk.
