Subject: URGENT PROPOSAL
Dear Friend,
I am Dr. Mark Williams Barrister at law and attorney to late Sir Alexander
Diodorus, a Greek Merchant Otherwise known as my client who was based in the
United Kingdom and died of complications from injuries
sustained after a ghastly motor accident.
As the attorney to Sir Alexander Diodorus I was his Confidant as he shared
with me virtually everything about himself, his business and family. I was
his Attorney for 15 years and during that period I wrote
His WILL and was also named as the executor, which has since been fulfilled.
I am also aware due to my Closeness to him that a huge amount of money
Pounds he deposited with a bank here in London was not willed out. He told
me about this on his sick bed and even instructed that I should prepare a
codicil to that effect, however before I could finish my work he had died.
After his death, funeral and subsequent executions of His will I went into
action to ascertain the Information passed unto me by my client. My
Investigation conformed to the information; at that Point I knew I had to do
something to move the funds Out of the bank and knowing that I cannot do
this alone I have decided to contact you and seek your Assistance and
acceptance to be the next of kin to the Estate.
Aside my humble self and you, the relationship manager (Account officer) of
my client knows about this, for He was very helpful during my discreet
investigation, Through him I was able to see the deposit paper work Of the
fund which confirmed that there is no next of Kin to the it. It is necessary
for us to move the fund out of the bank on time because if we do not do This
within the next two years the bank would regard The money as sundry funds,
which would give them the Right to claim the money.
I cannot move the money in my name because he is my Client, for it could
arose suspicion, his account Officer cannot do the same, hence the
importance of your assistance. Has my assurance that there is
Nothing to fear about, as we also need your assurance That you would work
with me without fear or favor to Achieve our desired objective. The legal
back up is no Problem for I would be responsible. Since the codicil was not
ready before his death, letter of Administration will be secured from the
Probate office, with this letter I would personally apply on your behalf to
the bank for the release of
the funds to you. I also want you to know that you would not be asked to pay
any fee for this transaction. All we need is your assistance and trust.
Upon receipt of a confirmation of acceptance from you a sharing ratio would
be worked out between the three of us and communicated to you along with my
telephone Number in the light of above, your positive responses would be
appreciated.
Sincerely,
Mark Williams.
Kellwood Associates.
