INTERESTED FOR JOINT PARTNERSDHIP
Dear Friend,
Firstly, not to cause you embarrassment, I am Barrister MR. WILLIAM MOKOENA,
a Solicitor at law and the personal attorney to named GERALD WELSH who died
in an air crash along with his wife (CARYL WELSH) on the 31st October 1999
in an Egyptian airline Boeing 990 with other passengers on board. You can
confirm this fact from the website which was aired by the BBC WORLD NEWS:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm
Since his death, none of his relations or persons have come forward to lay
claims to his funds as next-of-kin, and on my own I have made concerted
effort to locate any of his relatives but all prove abortive, which makes me
to believe that maybe nobody of his knows that he was operating this foreign
account with and Insurance broking firm here in Europe. Based on the ethics
and policies of the Deposit holding firm, this fund will be declared
unclaimed funds and taken to the treasury of the bank as capital base of the
bank, because already the account has been tagged dormant because it has
exceeded the normal functional number of years.
In spite of the above please do bear in mind that l have made several
enquiries with his country's embassies to locate any of my clients extended
relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several
unsuccessful attempts, I decided to contact you with this business
partnership proposal. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating a huge
amount of money left behind by my client before they get confiscated or
declared unserviceable by the Finance/Security Company where this huge
deposit was lodged.
The deceased had a deposit valued presently at $11million (Eleven Million
United State Dollars) and the Company has issued me a notice to provide his
next of kin or Beneficiary by will otherwise have the account confiscated
within the next sixty official working days. Since I have been unsuccessful
in locating the relatives for over 3years now, I seek your consent to
present you as the next of kin / Will Beneficiary to the deceased so that
the proceeds of this account valued at $11 Million US dollars can be paid to
you. This will be disbursed or shared in these percentages, 60% to me and
40% to you.
I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim
we may make. All I require is your honest Co-operation, Confidentiality and
Trust to enable us sees this transaction through. I guarantee you that this
will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from
any breach of the law.
And please provide me the following: This is to enable me commence immediate
preparation of all legal documents that will back up our claim.
1. Full Name:
2. Your Telephone Number and Fax Number
3. Your Contact Address.
Your urgent response will be highly anticipated and appreciated.
Best regards,
Mr William Mokoena Esq.
