Good day Friend .
I am sorry for contacting you through this medium without
a previous notice,I had to use the E-mail because it is an
easier and more confidential way of making contact with
people around the world.My name is Barrister Richard Hamill ,
a Forty Five (45) year old Attorney in practice
here in London-England.I had a client by name Mr.Victor a
contractor based here in sri-lanka/indonesia now
deceased.My client lost his life alongside his wife and
only child in aceh sri-lanka.Details of this incidence can
be checked on the following website;
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/4143487.stm
Prior to the Death of my Late Client,He secured a contract
of $12,500,000.00 million from the sri-lanka/indonesia
government,following which he received a 30%mobilization
fee of US$3,750,000.00 Million and successfully executed
the contract, but the balance of US$8,750,000.00 Million
contract payment was in the Process of being transferred
into My Late Client's Account which he submitted to the
Government when he lost his life in the incidence.
Few days after his sudden Death,The Government of
indonesia effected the transfer of the balance of his
Contract Funds into the Account that My Late Client has on
his file with the Government.As his personal Attorney
before his death,I have been officially notified and
instructed by the bank here in U.K where the money is
currently deposited that I should provide and forward the
particulars of Mr.Victor's next of kin so that the Funds
in his Account can be remitted into his Next of Kin's
Account in accordance with British Laws.
However, as the personal attorney and close confidant of
late Mr. Victor Burkhart ,I want you to know that My late
Client died interstate,i.e,He died without leaving a
Will.Hence,all my efforts to locate any of his relative
whom I can present to the Bank has proved abortive.
Therefore I am seeking for your consent to present you as
the deceased relative/next of kin and subsequently the
beneficiary of the fund so that the proceed of this
account valued at US$8,750,000.00 Million can be paid to
you for subsequent disbursement between you
and I. If you can cooperate with me and receive this funds
as next of kin to Mr.Victor,confirm your interest by
contacting me through my E-mail:-richardhamill2@yahoo.com
I can assure you that the deal is 100% risk free because i
am in possesion of the deceased personal file which
contains all information which I shall use to prove your
relationship with the deceased therefore the money will be
paid into the account of whomever I present as Mr.Victor's
Next of kin with proofs that I will present to the bank
when needed.
When I receive a positive response and after proper
discussion with you,I will furnish you all relevant
information that will facilitate the release of the Funds
to you An Application will have to be filed to the Bank
for processing of the release of the Funds into your
nominated Bank account.
I wait to hear from you.
Barrister Richard Hamill
