Subject: PLEASE CONFIRM RECEIPT.
Dear Sir,
I hope this meets you in good health. My name is Christiansen Grahams a legal practitioner and Attorney to late Mr. Igor Shaposhnikov who died in the plane crash on the 9th of March, 2000.
My late client was an influential wealthy businessman, a Russian Contractor, a Russian big time Oil dealer and the Principal owner of Oil Alliance Company and he left behind a deposit of Four Million, Two Hundred Thousand British Pound (£4,200,000.00 PB) as a Fund owned by his foreign business partner.
Since he is dead and no more and no trace to any of his relatives living or dead after all the efforts I have made in the past few years, I want you to stand as my late client's next of kin/beneficiary in London to claim the cash deposit.
I have employed every means possible to locate any of my client's extended relatives (next of kin) but this exercise has proved unsuccessful after many years. After the death of my client the manager of the company have made several contacts to me, as his Attorney to provide his next of kin who should inherit the deposited fund.
The Directors of his (Mr. Igor Shaposhnikov) company adopted a resolution and I was mandated to provide his next of kin for the payment of this money or forfeit the money to the company. The company had planned to invoke a clause in the property Act, to confiscate the funds after the expiration of a period given to me. Despairing and at the point of desperation, I came across your name and contact, while trying to locate documentation's regarding possible relatives of my client. Convinced that you may be able to act in locus for my late client as his next of kin, I therefore, decided to contact you with these facts before me because of the status quo. By virtue of my brief and my closeness to the deceased,
I am very much aware of my client's financial standing, which he operated here in London.
I have reasoned very professionally and I felt it would be legally proper to present you as the next of kin of my deceased client and the sole beneficiary of the cash deposit. The rest is between you and I and with my guide we can have you claim this cash deposit by standing as the next of kin to my late client, once this is done we shall both share the funds at the ratio of 50% to me and 50% to you.
I shall assemble all the necessary Legal Documents that will be used to back up our claim. All I require is your honest cooperation 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. Please get in touch with me and reply this letter as soon as possible.
I will give you more details as soon as I received your reply urgently. Kindly send your swift reply to my confidential email -grahams2000@o2.pl
Best Regards,
Christiansen Grahams
