Before I introduce myself, I wish to inform you that this letter is not a hoax mail and I urge you to treat it with
seriousness. This letter must come to you as a big surprise, but I believe it is only a day that people meet and
become great friends and business partners This is a personal email directed to you and I request that it be treated
as such it is not a hoax mail please. I am John Abbott,a solicitor at law.
I am the personal attorney/sole executor to the late Robert Gandesbery, hereinafter referred to as 'my client' who
worked as an independent oil magnate in my country and who died in a plane crash on January 31 in an Alaska airline
Flight 261 with other passengerson board. You can confirm this from the website below which waspublished by
CNN.WEBSITE.http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska airlines.list/with his immediate family. Since the death of my
client in , I have written several letters to the embassy with an intent to locate any of his extended relatives
whom shall be claimants/beneficiaries of his abandoned personal estate and all such efforts have been to no avail.
Moreso,I have received official letters in the last few weeks suggesting a likely proceeding for confiscation of his
abandoned personal assets in line with existing laws by the bank in which my client deposited the sum of
($11,500,000.00, ELEVEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND US DOLLARS)
On this note i decided to search for a credible person who are will present to the bank so that this fund can be
released in your favor as the beneficiary's next of kin. I was urged to contact you, with your consent, present you
to the "trustee" bank as my late client's surviving family member so as to enable you put up a claim to the bank in
that capacity as a next of kin of my client.
I find this possible for the fuller reasons that i have all the legal document that will make your the full
beneficary next of kin my late client, with my client legal document it easier for you to put up a claim in that
capacity.I propose that 35% of the net sum will accrue to you at the conclusion of this deal in so far as I do not
incure further expenses.
Therefore, to facilitate the immediate transfer of this fund, you need, first to contact me via signifying your
interest and as soon as I obtain your confidence,I will immediately appraise you with the complete details as well
as fax or scam you the documents, with which you are to proceed and i shall direct on how to put up an application
to the bank.
However, you will have to accent to an express agreement which I will forward to you in order to bind us in this
transaction. Upon the reciept of your reply,I will send you by fax or E-mail the next step to take.I will not fail
to bring to your notice that this proposal is hitch-free and that you should not entertain any fears as the required
arrangements have been made for the completion of this transfer. Like I said, I require only a solemn
confidentiality on this. Please send me your phone numbers fax number full names and complete contact address ,so I
can call you to discuss this matter.
Thanks.
Best regards,
John Abbott
