Subject: ASSISTANCE PLEASE
FROM THE DESK OF
BARR. DAVID MARK
LONDON
Dear Sir,
RE: YOUR ASSISTANCE IS NEEDED IN ACTUALIZING THIS GOAL
I am David Mark, i was the personal attorney to Mr. William Heinz, the
Chairman/CEO of Bz Sales and Engineering Company, here in London which filed
for
bankruptcy and was subsequently liquidated due to an accumulated debt of
US$45,000.000.00 unpaid funds owed some of their major customers. Following
the
liquidation my client's company in the year 2002, he lost all he had which
were
confiscated by court appointed bailiffs.
Prior to the confiscation order, my client disclosed to me of some cash
deposits
totaling US$10,500.000.00 which he lodged with a Private Finance and
Security
Company here in the United Kingdom and didn't declare these information to
any one for
fear of loosing completely all he has labored for in life and also to save
him from
any financial embarrassment in the future. Unfortunately, one years after
the funds
were lodged with the Finance and Trust Deposit Company, my late client was
found dead
in his apartment on the 15th of March, 2004 due to prostrate cancer which he
has been
diagnosing for years. Due to the clause on the deposit agreement, these
funds cannot be
released to anyone since my late client died intestate(without a will).
However, due to the
circumstances which prompted him to lodge these funds, he informed me that i
and his
Account Officer are the only persons privy to these funds which have been
coded to prevent
the bailiffs from tampering with them.
Presently, i am in a bad financial situation due to the fact that i relied
so
much on the assurances from my late client that he was going to compensate
me for my
legal representation which i offered him without asking for a dime. Since, i
cannot
claim these funds, i approached the Account Officer with the fact regarding
the funds
and informed him of my intention to have the funds released to someone i
would appoint
and present to the Bank as my late client's next-of-kin/relative.
Willingly, he consented to this arrangement and further advised in order for
the
management to authorize the release of these funds, that i contact a Trusted
and
Reliable Individual whom will act as the relative to Mr. William Heinz late
client. Hence, i contacted you for your consent and co-operation to act as
the
next-of-kin/relative of my late client.
I can assure you that there is no risk whatsoever involved in the
transaction
since the Account Officer is with us. Therefore, this business is definitely
bound to go
through. All that is required on your part is your utmost co-operation,
honesty
and above all an assurance that our own share of these funds, once
transferred into your
account, will be held in trust for us pending our arrival. I have to stop
here now as your
response will determine our subsequent correspondence. Please feel free to
disregard this
proposal if it is not in line with your principles. Otherwise, please get
back to me via
my email address: davidmarkxyz@yahoo.co.uk
Best regards,
Barr. David Mark.
N.B
I am ready to discuss the percentage you are willing to take if you are
ready to participate in this transaction with me.
