Subject: Pls. I Write Based On The Same Surname With My Client !!
BARRISTER ARTHUR ANDERSEN
ARTHUR ANDERSEN & ASSOCIATES.
(Legal Practitioner/Notary Public)
Andersen Park, 5 Summit Road Dunkeld,
Johannesburg, South Africa.
Date: 18th October 2005.
Attention Please,
I am Barrister Arthur Andersen Esq. a solicitor at law. I was the Personal
attorney to a national of your country, who is a contractor with South African Gold Mining Corporation. Herein being referred to as my client, were involved in a Plane Crash in one of the local flights in South Africa. All occupants of the flight unfortunately lost their lives. I know that my client had no living kin but I went ahead and made several inquiries to your embassy to locate any of my client's extended relatives but this has proved unsuccessful. I only did so to be double sure of this fact. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Security company where these huge deposits were lodged, particularly with the Genbel Securities Limited where the deceased had an amount valued at about US$25 Million Dollars only. The Security Company has issued me a notice that in the event that no next of kin comes up for the claim, the money will be confiscated after some years
if not claimed.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for years now I
seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased since
you have the same last name with my client, so that the proceeds of this amount valued at US $25 Million Dollars can be paid to you and then both of us can share the money. 50 /50 each as I’ m not a greedy attorney. I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make. All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us seeing 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 by my e-mail to enable us discuss further. You may also, send your phone number so that I can call you when replying.
I look forward to your urgent response.
Best Regards,
Barr. Arthur Andersen
