Attn: Beloved,
I crave your indulgence for the unsolicited nature of this letter, but it was borne out of desperation and current development. Please bear with me. I am Attorney Antonio Lopez, a solicitor at law. I was The Personal attorney to Mr. Raymond Mark, a national of your country, who used to own a steel plant company in Spain herein after shall be referred to as my Client.
On the 11th day of March 2004, my client, his wife and their 2 Children were involved in the Madrid Train Bomb Attack, along Atocha Train Centre. 190 occupants of the train unfortunately lost their lives. I know that my client had no living next of kin but I went ahead and made several inquiries to your embassy to locate any of my Client’s extended relatives but this proved unsuccessful. I only did so to be double sure of this fact.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track email over the Internet; hence I contacted you. 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 bank where this huge deposit were lodged, particularly the HSBC PRIVATE BANK (Madrid, Spain) of Spain where the deceased had an account valued at about 15.6 million Euros.
This account will be confiscated after four years if not claimed and we have just about one month. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the Relatives for over 2 months now. I therefore seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since i can change your last name to be the same with my client last name on my position so that the proceeds of this account valued at 15.6 million Euros can be paid to you and thereafter you and I can share the money. 60% shall be for me, 40% shall be for you, while 10% is earmarked for expenses that might be incurred during the process of transfer of the fund. I have all necessary legal Documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make, all I need is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee you 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 via my personal e-mail or fax number above, to enable us discuss further. You should also send your phone number so that I can call and speak with you directly. I hope to hear from you soonest.
Best regards,
BARRISTER ANTONIO LOPEZ
