Subject: Dear Friend
Dear Friend,
I appologise to you for any inconveniences caused if this mail does not
meet your demands,though I do not intend to embarass you by the contents of
this very mail.I am Barrister Desmond O'Connor Rupert. I was the personal
Attorney to
Late Engr Morgan Wood who was a citizen of your Country but lived
and did his business here in London with his family and he was the CEO of
Suh
Properties before his sudden death along with his family.
This mail is written to solicit your assistance to present you as next
of kin to my Late Client.Before his sudden death,he made a fixed Deposit
valued at USD22million (Twenty Two Million United States Dollars Only) with
The Abey National Bank Plc"East Linton Branch Uk here in London.
Unfortunately he lost his life aboard Egypt Air Flight 990, which crashed
into the
Atlantic Ocean on October 31, 1999. He left no clear beneficiary as Next of
Kin .
The Bank here in london has searched for the relatives for more than
four years without any success and after 5 years,no claims are made by any
of the deceased next of kin,the money will be sent to unclaimed accounts and
embezzled by the corrupt bank or government officials. It is against
this bank drop that the bank has contacted me as the Late depositor's
Attorney to contact and present to them my late Client's next of kin so that
the
deposit can be paid to him or her.This is why I have contacted you.Anybody I
present to the bank as the next of kin will be accepted . Upon your
acceptance,
I shall give you other details for the successful claim of the fund. I have
secured
from the probate registry, an order of Mandamus to locate any of the
deceased
beneficiaries, and more so I am assuring you that this business is 100% risk
free.
If this proposal is acceptable by you, please endeavour to reply me
immediately,
if not please disregard this email.
Thank you very much for your anticipated acceptance while I expect your
prompt response.
Yours faithfully,
Desmond Rupert Esq .
