Dear Friend,
PROPOSAL FOR BUSINESS OF MUTUAL BENEFIT
Firstly, let me apologize for encroaching into your privacy It is my
privilege to capture your name from the Internet, I am contacting you with
the hope that you can be of assistance to me in this mutually beneficial
business deal.
My name is Jeffery Harold, a legal practitioner and the personal Attorney to
late Mr. Hilary Adams, a foreigner who died along with his wife and his two
Sons in a ghastly motor accident along Port Louis-Reduit express in July 13,
2005.All the
occupants in the vehicle lost their lives. My client was a successful and an
accomplished family man, who made enough fortune before his untimely death.
Since then I had made several inquiries through Embassy to locate any of my
clients extended relative but this exercise has proved unsuccessful. After
several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives through the
Internet,
to locateany member of his family not much progress was recorded. My late
client was an influential wealthy Businessman, a Gold magnet (merchant) here
in South Africa and he left behind a deposit of Twelve Million, Two Hundred
Thousand United States Dollar ($12,200, 000.00USD) in his domiciliary bank
account in a commercial bank here in South Africa.
After the death of my client his bankers contacted me, as his Attorney to
provide his next of kin who should inherit his fortune. The board of
directors of his bank adopted a resolution and I was mandated to provide
his next of kin for the payment of this money within 90 working days or
forfeit the money to the bank as an abandoned property. The bankers had
planned to invoke the abandoned property decree of 1996 to confiscate the
funds after the expiration of the period given to me.
Despairing at the point of exhaustiveness, fortunately, I decided to undergo
a random search in the internet for a possible assistance, I came across
your name and three others and decided to contact the four of you hoping
that one of you might end up as my partner, hence I am contacting you with
these facts before me because of the situation now.
By virtue of my closeness to the deceased and his immediate family,I am very
much aware of my client financial standing and the bank account he operates.
I have reasoned very professionally and I feel it will be legally proper to
present you as the next of kin of my deceased client, so that you can be
paid the funds left in his bank account.
I seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin to the Deceased since
you are at an advantage as a foreigner too, so that the proceeds of this
Bank Account valued at $12.2 Million Dollars can be paid to you.
We shall both share the funds. 60% to me and 35% to you, while 5% should be
for Expenses or Tax as your Government may require, 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 law.
Please get in touch with me with my confidential EMAIL:

Best Regards
Attorney Jeffery Harold (Esq.)
