plot 5/7 sandton,
J'bourg.SA.
Attn:Sir,
Compliments, and do please accept my highest regards and Esteem. This
proposal might come to you as a surprise due to the urgent need of a
reliable foreigner, I therefore deem it necessary to contact you. I am
Barrister David Lungu, a solicitor at Law and the personal attorney to late
Mr. Martin Chey a Thai Nationale Residing in Johannesburg South Africa,
hereinafter shall be refered to as my client.
On the 22nd of Dec. 2004, my client, his wife and all their three children
travelled to Thailand for the christmas holiday. Unfortunately, my client
Mr. Chey and all his family died in the most
terrible and highly horrible Indian Ocean's Tidal Wave disaster (Asian
Tsunami) of the Dec. 26th 2004.
Ever since this tragic and traumatic events, I have made frantic efforts to
establish contacts with his relatives, but could not succeed. Due to the
fact that considering the nature of my clients
business dealings, He never presented any name on Documentation as his
possible next of kin. I am therefore with all sense of humility decided to
make contact with you in order to assit in claiming and retrieving the money
left behind by my client before the credit house know of his
demise and probably get the funds confiscated or even decleared it
unserviceable by the finance and credit institution where these funds were
deposited. I solicit your urgent assistance and co-operation as a foreigner
for easy passage of the funds to your designated Bank account.
Mr. Chey was a successful businessman and was involved in cash transactions
due to the nature of his business. He was engaged in buying of Raw Gold and
Diamond from His suppliers in the mineral - rich equatorial belt of central
and southern African Countries, after which he sends the consignments to
Bangkok in Thailand for processing and onward shipments to Dubia and Saudi
Arabia.
The amount of money kept in the custody of the finance and credit house is
USD 25.5 million Dollars only. Since I have been unable to locate his
relatives after all my frantic efforts, I am therefore compelled by this
circumstances to seek your consent to present you Sir, with my
position as his legal advicer as his next of kin or business associate of
the deceased so as to enable you receive and collect the above funds All
other further informations to that effect at my disposal
will be made available to you upon your consent and the acceptance of the
project.
The funds when retrieved and successfully secured will be shared thus:
-myself, the attorney 40%, yourself the presented next of kin 30%, while 20%
will go to Charity and possibly the Tsunami victims through you, in line
with my clients belief and support for Charity as a great philantropist
during his life time, the balance of 10% will be for contingency expenses to
be incured during the process by both parties. I assure you the fullest and
absolute co-operation and a hitch free
operation in this regards. I equally guarranttee you total protection
against any breach of the law in line with my legal profession.
You are indeed very free to ask questions you deem necessary for further
clarifications, and please endeavour to always keep secret all informations
concering this transaction.
Your most urgent response will be highly appreciated through my email in
order to avoid my making further contacts.
Regards.
Barrister David Lungu
