Dear Micheal Gallatin
This is a personal email directed to you and I
request that it should be treated as such. I am
Patrick Blair, a solicitor at law.
I am the personal attorney/sole executor to the
late Mr.Robert Gallatin, hereinafter referred to as 'my
client' who worked as an independent oil magnate in my
country and who died in a car crash with his immediate
family on the 5th of Nov 2000. Since the death of my
client in Nov, 2000, 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.
More so, 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 £9.8m GBP. The board of directors
of the company now adopted a resolution and I was
mandated to provide his next of kin for the payment of
this money within the next 15 official working days or
forfeit the money as an abandoned fund. The company
had planned to invoke the abandoned property Decree of
1996 to confiscate the funds after the expiration of
the period given to me but after an investigation in
the finance company, I found out that some members of
the company wants to divert this fund into their
private accounts for their own selfish interest and
only want, to use the excuse that since I am not able
to look for some one to make the claim, the money
should be made unserviceable and that means submitting
the fund to the federal government of this country and
some to the company management which is not their main
intentions.
By virtue of my closeness to the deceased and his
immediate family, I am very much aware of my client's
financial standing. I do sincerely sympathize the
death of my client, but had thought it unprofitable
for his funds to be submitted to the federal
government of this country and the finance company
where it is lodged. I have reasoned very
professionally and I feel it will be legally proper to
present you as the next of kin of my deceased client
which is legally possible and would be done in
accordance with the laws of the land. On this note I
decided to search for a credible person and finding
that you bear a similar last name, I was urged to
contact you, that I may, 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, so that the proceeds of This Bank Account
valued at Nine Million Eight Hundred Thousand British
Pounds Sterling only(£9.8million ) can be paid to you,
before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable
to the bank where this huge deposit is lodged. Note
that this is legal,and 100% risk free since I have all
vital documents that would be requested by them and
that would confer you the legal right to make this
claim. I find this possible for the main reason that
you bear a similar last name with my client making it
a lot easier for you to put up a claim in that
capacity. Therefore, to facilitate the immediate
reprofiling of this fund, you need, first to contact
me via my alternative email address signifying your
interest and as soon as I obtain your confidence, I
will immediately intimate you with the complete
details as well as fax 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 assent to an express
agreement which I will forward to you in order to bind
us in this transaction. Upon the receipt 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. I
guarantee that this will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any
breach of the law. Please get in touch with me through
my alternative email patrickblair1960@hotmail.com for
better confidentiality and send to me your telephone
and fax numbers to enable us discuss further about
this transaction.
Like I said, I require only a solemn
confidentiality on this. Please let me have your
opinion as soon as possible for My contact number is
+447024016878 and If this proposal is acceptable by
you, do not take undue advantage of the trust I have
bestowed in you, I await your urgent response.
Give me a call at your earliest convenience.
Best regards,
Patrick Blair(Esq)
