Dear Friend,
My names are Scott Ferguson an attorney to a deceased Immigrant property magnate who was based in the United kingdom,also referred herein as my client. On the 31st of July 2000, my client, his wife and their two Children died in the Air France plane crash bound for New York in their plan for a world cruise, please visit website below for confirmation: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm
Since then, I have been managing his properties here in the U.K. and some of his properties, that he put out for sales.
As his attorney, I also monitored the payment of his properties sold, the money paid was deposited into his account. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and properties left behind by my client before they get confisticated or declared unserviceable by his bank.
Particularly, the bank has issued me a notice to provide any of his next of kin or have his account confisticated within a short time. The account of my late client valued 9.4million Pounds Sterlings.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for some times now, the bank has giving me a deadline to provide any of his next of kin. Since I could find any, I now seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to my deceased client, so that the proceeds of his account can be paid to you. When the money is paid to you, our sharing ratio will be 60% to me and 40% for you.
I have all necessary information that can be used to back up any Claim we may make. All I require is your honest co-operation 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 the law.
As his attorney, I will require you to Send me your full names and address, telephone and fax numbers to enable us discuss further about this transaction.
A swift acknowledgement on the receipt of this email would be appreciated. Please reply to my official email if interested or not, to enable me know what next to do: scottferguson@kaixo.com.
Thanks for honouring this proposal, I hope to hear from you soonest.
Best regards.
SCOTT FERGUSON.
United Kindom.
