Subject: Hello Friend.
Hello Friend,
Hope you are doing great and sound? I am Dr. Norman Kenneth de Andrade Barrister
at law and attorney to late Goethem Haemer, a Greek Merchant otherwise known
as my client who was based in the United Kingdom and died of complications
from injuries sustained after a ghastly motor accident.
As the attorney to Sir Goethem Haemer I was his confidant as he shared with
me virtually everything about himself, his business and family. I was his
attorney for 15 years and during that period I wrote his WILL and was also
named as the executor, which has since been fulfilled. I am also aware due
to my closeness to him that the amount of 22 Million Euros he deposited with
a bank in Europe was not willed out. He told me about this on his sick bed
and even instructed that I should prepare a codicil to that effect, however
before I could finish my work he had died.
After his death, funeral and subsequent execution of his will I went into
action to ascertain the information passed unto me by my client. My investigation
conformed to the information; at that point I knew I had to do something
to move the funds out of the bank and knowing that I cannot do this alone
I have decided to contact you and seek your assistance and acceptance to
be the next of kin to the estate. It is necessary for us to move the money
out of the bank now because if we do not do this within the next two years
the bank would regard the money as sundry funds, which becomes as good as
their own money.
I cannot move the money in my name because he was my client, for it could
arouse suspicion thus the importance of your assistance. Have my assurance
that there is nothing to fear about, as I also need your assurance that you
would work with me without fear or favour to achieve our desired objective.
The legal back up is no problem for I would be responsible. Since the codicil
was not ready before his death, Letters of Administration without Will, would
be secured from the probate office, with this document granting probate rights
in your favour I would personally apply on your behalf to the bank for the
release of the funds to you.
What I require from you to enable us achieve the above are your:
Full and Official Names
Address
Date of Birth
Telephone and Fax numbers
Upon receipt of a confirmation of acceptance from you, a sharing ratio would
be worked out between us on the most liberal and magnanimous terms.
Take care and have a nice day. Reply me at my private email account: mbbv12@excit.com
Sincerely,
Norman Kenneth de Andrade
Norman + Associates
