Dear Partner
Thanks so very much for your urgent respond. However, let me once again assure you that there is no single problem associated with this transaction, thereby assuring you that you are not exposing yourself to any legal problem. Although I don’t blame you about the way you will feel concerning this transaction; meanwhile it quite human and natural.
How ever, my late client is a national of United States of America but live here in United Kingdom with his wife and work with Frank Howard Allen Realtors, here in United Kingdom.
The main reason why I contacted you is because Due to the bank where Mr. Ronald Lake had his fund of US$10,500,000.00 Million has offered me fourteen working days to provide a next of kin to claim his fund because I decline their idea of transferring the fund to their treasury department hence my client is late and there is nobody who came to claim the fund, I made several enquiries even to the United States embassy to locate any of his extended relatives, but all attested futile.
Now I want you to stand as the relative to Mr. Ronald Lake since you are a foreigner, so that this US$10, 500,000.00 Million will be paid to you then you and I can share the money.
I will provide all necessary documents that will be required. You don’t have to worry about any risk. All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
As you can see time is of great essence as the bank has given me deadline. We shall both share the funds this way; 50% for me 40% will go for you then the remaining 10% will go for the Orphanage.
All i will need for smooth transfer of this transaction is only your trust, then after that i will draft and forward to you the sample of Application for the Claim.
I AWAIT YOUR IMMEDIATE REPLY TO ENABLE US START THIS TRANSACTION IN EARNEST AND ALSO INTIMATE YOU WITH MORE DETAILS.
Thanks and God bless.
Best Regards,
Bar. Morris D. Vincent Esq.
