Good-day to you,
My name is Barrister David Turex, a Fifty Five (55) year old Attorney-at-law
in London, England. My client by name Mr. William Chen, an IT specialist
resident in London, but now deceased, lost his life alongside fifty-one
others (51) on the 7th of July 2005 on a bomb blast here in London. Details
of this incidence can be checked on the following news link: **
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/4663931.stm*<http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/4663931.stm>
* .Prior to his Death, my Late Client made a fixed deposit of 7,500,
000.00British Pound Sterling(about US$15million) in a financial firm in
London, England. As his personal Attorney before his death, I was
officially notified and instructed by the firm to provide Mr.William Chen's
next of kin so that the Funds in his Account is remitted/repatriated to his
Next of Kin in accordance with British Inheritance Law.
Mr. William Chen died interstate, meaning He died without leaving a Will,
hence, all my efforts to locate any of his relatives for presentation to the
Financial Firm has proved abortive. I am seeking your consent to present you
as the deceased relative/next of kin and subsequently the beneficiary of the
fund so that the proceeds of this account valued at 7,500, 000.00British
Pound Sterling can be paid to you for subsequent disbursement between you
and I. 60% for me, 35% for you and then 5% will be set aside for any
expenses we might incur in the course of the transaction.I contacted you
through a search in the internet for similar surname to my deceased client
when I failed to locate any of his immediate family members because of lack
of information on this.
Work with me to receive these funds as next of kin to Mr. W.Chen, by
confirming your interest by email. I assure a 100% risk free transaction
because I am in possession of the personal file of the deceased with full
proof of your relationship with the deceased, after which the money will be
transferred into your account as Mr. William's Next of kin
I will furnish you with all relevant information that will release the
Funds to you, bearing in mind,that an application will be filed to the
financial firm for processing of the release of the Funds into your
nominated Bank account.
I wait to hear from you.
