Dearly
As it may interest you to know, I am writing,following the impressive
information about your profile through the website, where I was seaching
for a good relaible contact which I will entrust this business oppurtunity
into its control. I was elated when I saw your address,and I picked a keen
interest with confidence to solicit for your help in executing this
oppurtunity.
However,I was moved to contact you base on the present situation of this
oppurtunity which I may say that it is God given time offer.Their was this
foreigner who lived here in Lome-Togo long ago called Auther Billings ,and
it happen that the man registered to me as his private personal
attorney,unfortunately the man died with his wife and their kids in plane
crash which happened on 30th October, 2001.
Owing to the death of this man ,his bank called on me for his balance with
the bank as his attorney,to invite his relatives to come and claim the
money,I tried all I could to trace his family,but all my efforts proved
arbortive.The bank has been presurising me to look for his family because
they realise that a lot of swindlers have been forwarding application to
claim the money as his next of kin,but it happen that after much
verification,they will find out that those people were rogues,because they
cannot provide a enough evidence / prove that they were his relative.
However,I have decided to use you as his next of kin to claim the money for
my own personal use as it happen that his relatives were not available up
till now,and I have all his documented memo in my file which will back you
up before the bank as his next of kin.I will still obtain a genuine legal
backing with your name which will place you in the position of the bonafide
next of kin to the deceased.
Furthermore,the amount involved is ($7.000,000.00) Seven Million, United
State Dollars,If my proposal interest you then you will have to furnish me
with your full name and address which I will use to secure the legal
documents.And as soon as I received your address,I will form an application
which you will submitt to the deceased bank as his next of kin.After due
verification and clarification by the board members of the bank approval
will be issue and payment made into your would be nominated bank account.Be
rest assured that their is no risk involved as I have perfected and made the
neccessary arrangements to back you up in claiming the fund but you have to
maintain the high secrecy this business demands as the bank does not know
that I am using you to claim the money I will compensate you with 25% of the
total money for your help and assistance,and I will like to invest my own
part of the money in your country base on your advice.And 5% is mapped out
for expensis.
You can now forward the address and your full name,and I will furnish you
with the details and application as soon as you reply this mail. Please get
in touch with me by my private email (barrister_wilford@yahoo.com) to enable
us discuss further.
Thank you very much for your understanding.
Thanks as I await your reply.
Best Regards,
Barr. Wilford Jamal
