Since then, I have been managing his properties here in the
South Africa and some of his properties, which he put out
for sale. Which I monitored the payment as his attorney,
has been bought and paid for. Now the money paid was
deposited into his Local account here. I have contacted you
to assist in repatriating the money and property left
behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared
unserviceable by his bank.
Particularly, the bank has issued me a notice to provide
any of his next of kin or have the account confiscated
within a short time. My late client has an account valued
at 15.5 million dollars. Since I have been unsuccessful in
locating the relatives for some time now, and with the bank
giving me deadline, I now seek your consent to present you
as the next of kin of the deceased, so that the proceeds of
this account valued at 15.5 million dollars can be paid to
you and then you, and I can share the money. 50% to me
amounting to US$7,750,000.00 dollars and 40% for you
amounting to US$6,200.000.00 and 10% amounting to
US$1,550,000.00 for miscellaneous expenses that might
arise. I have all necessary information that can be used
to back up any Claim we may make.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see
this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed
under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from
any breach of the law. Trust me, as his attorney; this is a
risk-free relationship.
Send me your full names and address, telephone and fax
numbers to enable us discuss further about this
transaction.
A swift acknowledgement on the receipt of this mail would
be appreciated.
