__________________________________________________
This letter is not intended to cause any embarrassment in whatever form,
rather it is intended to contact your esteemed self, following the knowledge
of your high repute and trustworthiness.
Firstly, I must solicit your confidentiality. I know that a proposal of this
magnitude will make anyone apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you
that it is made in good faith and will be of mutual benefit. I am Barrister
Stefan Repede a Romanian national, the personal attorney to Mr James Sutton
also a British national, herein after referred to as my client, who until
his death was a major crude oil contractor with the British government.
My client and his entire family were involved in a fatal motor accident,
which unfortunately claimed their lives.
I have since then made several enquiries to the British embassy, in a bid to
locate any relation of my client,and these efforts of mine have not been
productive.
I have contacted you to assist me in securing the money left behind by my
client before they are declared as unclaimed and unserviceable by the bank
where they have been lodged for safekeeping. I am particularly interested in
securing the funds lodged with UK Island Bank, totaling fifteen Million,
United States Dollar (USD15M). This is because the said Bank has issued a
notice to me, unequivocally instructing me to produce the Next of
Kin/Beneficiary to the said account within the next ten official working
days, or have the account confiscated.
Considering my lack of success in my bid to locate his relatives for over
two years, I solicit your consent to enable me produce you as: the Next of
Kin to my deceased client, the funds will then be transferred to you as the
beneficiary and shared according to a proposed sharing pattern ratio of
60:40 i.e. 60% for me and 40% for you.
I will provide all the necessary legally obtained documents to back up any
claim we make regarding this process, and will just require your
understanding and cooperation to enable us achieve success within a
legitimate arrangement, eliminating any liability resulting from any breach
of the prevalent laws.
Your urgent response will be highly appreciated.
Thank you.
Best Regards,
Barrister Stefan Repede.
