Dear Sir\Madam,
I am Barrister John Lawrence, a solicitor at law. I am the Personal Attorney
to Mr. Heinz Hutchinson a National of your Country , who used to work with
Shell Development Company in Germany. Here in after shall be referred to
as my client. On the 21st of April 2004 my client, his wife and their three
children were involved in a car accident along Express Road. All occupants
of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have made enquiries
to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives, which has
also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided
to trace whosoever that bears his last name in your country, to locate any
member of his family hence I contacted you. I have contacted to assist in
repatriating the money and property left behind by my client before they
get Confiscated or declared Unserviceable by the Security Company where
this huge deposit were lodged. Particularly, the Security Company. where
the deceased had an account valued at about $100,0000,00, Million Dollars
USD has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account
confiscated within the next ten official working days. Since I have been
unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 1 years now. I seek your
consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you have
the same last name so that the proceeds of this account valued at $100,0000,00,
Million Dollars USD can be paid to you and then you and me can share the
money 60% to me and 40% to you. I have all necessary legal documents that
can be used to back up any claim we may make.First, I must solicit your
confidence in this transaction, which is of mutual benefit. This is by virtue
of its nature of being utterly confidential. I got your contact through
a friend of mine in Germany. I am sure and have confidence of your ability,
and reliability to prosecute a transaction of this great magnitude of TRUST.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing this deal through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law. Please kindly contact me on
the same E-mail Address:goldmaxs2005@zipmail.com.br above for
more briefing. Awaiting your quick response.
