Hello Dear,
This letter might come to you as a surprise because we have not met before
either in person nor by correspondence. I got your contact through a
discreet inquiry. I am Barrister Uba Williams, a legal solicitor and the
personal attorney to (late Mr. Bill Robert jr.) an American citizen, who
here -in- after referred to as my client who ought to have perished in a
plane crash on 2001 on board "Alaska airlines flight 261" alongside with
other passengers.
My main reason of contacting you is that since the demise of (late Mr. Bill
Robert jr.) I have personally watched with keen interest to see the next of
kin of my deceased client but all has proved abortive as no one has come
forth for claims at the bank where the deceased normally makes deposit of
his funds of an approximate sum of US$10.2million (Ten million, two hundred
thousand United States dollars). The said bank has issued me a final notice
to provide the next of kin of my client as it is against the banking ethics
here in England to allow such funds to stay more than 10 years, because
after 10 years the funds ought to be posted to the bank's reserve vault /
treasury as unclaimed bill.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating my client's relatives for the
past five (5) years, to avoid this negative action by the bank, I have
decided to seek your cooperation, just to have you stand as the next of kin
to (Late Mr. Bill Robert jr) going by the fact that both of you have the
same nationality so that the said funds (US$10.2 Ml) would be released and
paid into your bank account as will be the nominated as the next of kin.
At this juncture to be on the safer side all documents and proof will
legitimately package your whole data and particulars as the Next of Kin to
the deceased so as to have the funds swiftly wired to a nominated bank
account of your choice for onward long term investment.
More so, based on your solicited assistance I have decided to give you 40%
of the total funds, 10% laid aside for any unexpected liability which may
arise through out the duration of this transaction both fax and phone bills
inclusive then the balance of 50% I will invest with your kind assistance
and guidance, you have to maintain high degree of confidentiality on this
matter due to my sensitive position in this transaction.
I anticipate your prompt and committed response, you should have no course
to entertain any fear at all hence the transaction is 100% risk free.
Awaiting your prompt response.
Uba Williams (Esq.)
