Subject: PLEA FOR ASSISTANCE
Hello Anticipated Partner,
I am Barrister J. P. Wallace. I was the Personal Attorney to Mr. Williams
Foster, the Chairman/CEO of BZ Sales and Engineering Coy, here in London
which filed for Bankruptcy and was subsequently Liquidated due to an
accumulated Debt of US$45,000,000.00 unpaid Funds owed some of their Major
Customers. Following the Liquidation my Client's company in the year 2002,
He lost all he had, which were confiscated by Court Appointed Bailiffs.
Prior to the Confiscation Order, My Client Disclosed to me of some Cash
Deposits totaling US$9,500,000.00 (Nine Million. Five Hundred Thousand
United States Dollars) which he Lodged with a Private Finance and Security
Company here in the United Kingdom and didn't declare these Information to
any one for fear of Loosing Completely all he has labored for in Life and
also to save him from any Financial Embarrassment in the Future.
Unfortunately, One year after the Funds were lodged with the Finance and
Trust Deposit Company, My Late Client was Found Dead in His Apartment on the
15th of March 2004 due to Prostrate Cancer which he has been diagnosing for
Years.
Due to the Clause on the Deposit Agreement, These Funds cannot be released
to anyone since my Late Client Died Interstate (Without a Will). However,
Due to the Circumstances, which prompted him to lodge these Funds, He
informed me that his Account Officer and I are the only persons Privy to
these Funds, which have Been coded to prevent the Bailiffs from tampering
with them.
Presently, I am in a bad financial situation due to the Fact that I relied
so much on the assurances from My Late Client that he was going to
compensate me for my Legal Representation, which I offered him without
asking for a Dime.Since, I cannot Claim these Funds, I approached the
Account Officer with the Fact regarding the Funds and informed him of My
Intention to have the Funds released to someone I would Appoint and Present
to the Bank as My Late Client's Next of Kin/Relative.
Willingly, He consented to this Arrangement and further advised that in
order for the Management to authorize the release of these Funds, that
anyone I am presenting Should be willing to adhere to instructions and
advises from us both through me. Hence, I contacted you for your consent and
Co-operation to act as the Next of Kin/Relative of my Late Client.
I can assure you that there is no risk whatsoever involved in the
transaction since the Account Officer is with us. Therefore, This Business
is definitely bound to go through. All that is required on your Part is Your
Utmost co-operation, Honesty and above all an Assurance that our own share
of these Funds, once transferred into your Account, will be held in Trust
for us pending our arrival in the United States.
I have to stop here now, as your response will determine our subsequent
correspondence. Please feel free to disregard this proposal if it is not in
line with your principles. Otherwise, Please Get back to me ASAP.
Best regards,
Barrister J. P. Wallace
N.B I am ready to discuss the percentage you are willing to take if you are
ready to participate in this transaction with me.
