London England.
Attention:
This is a personal email directed to you and I request that it be treated as
such. I must solicit your confidentiality and assure you that I am
contacting you in good faith and this proposal will be of mutual benefit. I
am Andrew White, a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney/sole
executor to the late Mr. Mark Borges hereinafter referred to as 'my client'
who worked as an independent oil magnate in my country and who died in a car
crash with his immediate family in east London on the 5th of November 2000.
My late client a formal Sub-Comptroller working with Chevron Texaco Oil here
in the United Kingdom and had left behind a deposit of Nine Million Eight
Hundred Thousand British Pounds Sterling only (£9.8million) with a finance
company. After the death of my client, the finance company contacted me, as
his attorney to provide his next of kin who should inherit his fortune; this
according to them is their policy in sure circumstances. Since the death of
my client, I have written several letters to the embassy with intent to
locate any of his extended relatives whom shall be claimants/beneficiaries
of his abandoned personal estate and all such efforts have been to no avail.
I had to inform the finance company about my fruitless effort in locating my
late client close relative or his next of kin. The board of directors of the
company just adopted a resolution and I was mandated to provide his next of
kin for the payment of this money within the next 15 official working days
or forfeit the money as an abandoned funds. The company had planned to
invoke the abandoned property decree of the company to confiscate the funds
after the expiration of the period given me. Also I have received official
letters in the last two days suggesting a likely proceeding for confiscation
of his abandoned personal assets in line with existing laws of the
institution.
Well I have reason very professionally and I can use a legal means to
present a next of kin of my deceased client. This is legally possible and
would be done in accordance with the laws of the land. On this note I
decided to search for a credible person and finding
that you bear a similar last name, I was urged to contact you, that I may,
with your consent, present you to the "trustee" as my late client's family
member so as to enable you put up a claim to the bank in that capacity as a
next of kin of my client. I find this possible for the fuller reasons that
you are of the same nationality and you bear a similar last name with my
late client making it a lot easier for you to put up a claim in that
capacity. I have all vital documents that would confer you the legal right
to make this claim and would make them available to you so that the proceeds
of this bank account valued at £9.8million can be paid to you before it gets
confiscated or declared unserviceable to the bank where this huge amount is
lodged.I do sincerely sympathize the death of my client but I think it is
unprofitable for his funds to be submitted to the government of this country
or some financial institution. My aim is to retrieve this fund and let it be
claimed by the deceased family name, etc. for this I seek your assistance
since I have been unable to locate the relatives for the past 4year now and
since no one has come for the claim. I seek your consent to present you as
the next of kin of the deceased since you have the same last name giving you
the advantage so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you. Then
we talk percentage. I know there might be other persons out there with the
same surname as my last client, but after a little check my instinct tells
me to contact you. Can I trust you on this? I shall assemble all the
necessary documents that will be used to back up your claim.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of law. I will not fail to bring to your
notice that this proposal is hitch-free and that you shouldn’t entertain any
fears as the required arrangements have been made for the completion of this
transfer. Like I said, I require only a solemn confidentiality on this.
Please get in touch with me by my alternative mail: Andrew_white14@yahoo.gr
for better confidentiality and send to me your telephone and fax numbers to
enable us discuss further on this transaction. My contact number is
+4478367902702 if this proposal is acceptable by you, do not take undue
advantage of the trust I have bestowed in you,
Thanks for your understanding.
Kind Regards.
Andrew White.
