From: GILBERTMANDEL& ASSOC.
(Advocate and Solicitor)
# 13/15 Plumstead West, WOOLWICH,
LONDON, UK.
As it may interest you to know, I got your impressive information
after a conscious search for a reliable and matured person who has
all it takes to execute this project.
I was elated when i saw your address,and i picked a keen
interest with confidence to solicit for your help in executing this
opportunity.
However,i was moved to contact you based on the present situation of
this opportunity which i may say that it is a God given offer, there
was a foreigner who lived here in LONDON some time ago called
SHRIEVE PIECER by name,and it happened that the man registered with
me as his personal attorney,unfortunately the man died with his wife
and their two kids in a ghastly motor accident which happened on 12 th July,
2003. Along...Cairnfield Avenue, Cricklewood NW2 ,LONDON.
Owing to the death of this man called SHRIEVE PIECER by
name,his bank ( NAT WEST BANK ,UK ) called on me for his balance with the bank as his attorney since January 2003,to invite his relatives to come and claim
the money,i tried all i could to trace his family,but all my efforts
proved arbortive,then from January th is year 2004,till now,the bank
has been presurising me to look for his family because they realise
that a lot of swindlers have been forwarding application to claim the
money as his next of kin,but it happened that after much
verification,they will find out that those people were crooks,because
they cannot provide a legal evidence to prove that they were his
relative. Moreover,i have decided to use you as his next of kin to
claim the money for my own personal use as it happen that his
relatives were not available up till now,and i have all his
documented memo in my file which will back you up before the bank as
his next ofkin,i will still obtain a genuine legal evidence which i
will make out in your name to satisfy that you are the rightful next
of kin to the deceased.
Furthermore,the amount involved is (7.500,000.00)SEVEN MILLION
FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND POUND STERLING ( GBP ) .
Hence i will like you to furnish me with your full name
and address which i will use to secure the legal documents,as soon as
i receive your address,i will forward an application to you which you
will submit to the concerned bank as his next
of kin.
Be rest assured that there is no risk involved as i have
perfected and made the neccessary arrangements to back you up in
claiming the fund. Finally,you have to maintain the high secret this
business demands as the bank does not know that i am using you to
claim the money on my own,besides,i will compernsate you with 30% of
the total money for your help and
assistance,and i will like to invest my own part of the money in your
country based on your advice.Therefore you can now forward your
address and your full name,and i will furnish you with the
application as soon as you reply this mail.
Thanks as i await your reply.
Best Regards,
GILBERT MANDEL Esq,
