Subject: Hello
Dear Friend,
On behalf of the Trustees and Executor of the estate of Late Engr. Martin
Wilzek, I wish to
notify you of a very urgent and sensitive issue as regards my deceased
client's unclaimed estate in bond and cash status in the custody of a very
discret and reliable fiduciary agent in Europe.
I wish to notify and inform you that the original beneficiary of the Late
Engr. Martin Wilzek's estate is yet to be located to enable her claim the
sum of 5.1 million US Dollars left in our charge.
Late Engr. Martin Wilzek until his death was a former managing director and
pioneer staff of a giant German construction company. He was a very
dedicated business man who loved to give
out. His great philanthropy earned him numerous awards during his life time.
Late Engr. Martin Wilzek died on the 5th day of February 2004 at the age of
82 years, and his "WILL" is now ready for execution. According to
instructions left by him these funds should be used in the support of
Humanitarian/Charity projects especially in war-torn and conflict zones in
Africa, as well as activities geared towards helping the poor and the needy.
Consequently, we the senior partners in his former law firm took the
decision believing same to be in good faith and for the general to through
random sampling in the website to contact a possible beneficairy preferably
one of Caucasian origin to assist in the receipt of this long unclaimed fund
for the purposes, it was originally meant for.
Should you therefore be interested in this mutually beneficial project, you
are to contact me immediately to enable us work out how much will be given
to you for the sacrifices you will be required to make. Also ensure to
include your contact telephone number for important discussions on the
required process.
Thank you.
Peter Wallace - Esq.
