Subject: URGENT ATTENTION
Dear Friend,
Firstly, not to cause you embarrassment, I am Barrister ROBERT WILLIAMS,a
Solicitor at law and the personal attorney to named Gerald Welsh who died in
an air crash along with his wife on the 31st October 1999 in an Egyptian
airline boeing 990 with other
passengers on board. You can confirm this fact from the website
which was aired by the BBC WORLD NEWS:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm .
Since his death, none of his relations or persons have come forward to lay
claims to his this funds as next-of-kin, and on my own i have made concerted
effort to locate any of his relatives but all prove abortive, which makes me
to believe that maybe nobody of his knows that he was operating this foreign
account with and Insurance broking firm here in the UK. Based on the ethics
and policies of the Deposit holding firm, this funds will be declared
unclaimed
funds and taken to the treasury of the bank as capital base of the bank,
because already the account has been tagged dormant because it has exceeded
the normal functional number of years.
Inspite of the above please do bear in mind that l have made several
enquiries with his country's embassies to locate any of my clients extended
relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After
these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to contact you with this
business partnership proposal. I have contacted you to assist in
repatriating a huge amount of money left behind by my client before they get
confiscated or declared unserviceable by the
Finance/Security Company where these huge deposit was lodged.
The deceased had a deposit valued presently at $10.5million (Ten Million,
Five Hundred Thousand United State Dolars) and the Company has issued me a
notice to provide his next of kin or Beneficiary by
Will otherwise have the account confiscated within the next sixty official
working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over
3years now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin / Will
Beneficiary to the deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at
$10.5 Million US dollars can be paid to you. This will be disbursed or
shared in these percentages, 60% to meand 40% to you.
I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim
we may make. All I require is your honest Co-operation, Confidentiality and
Trust to enable us see this transaction through. I guarantee you that this
will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from
