Subject: LETTER OF INTENT
Dear Friend,
The letter I send to you was borne out of deep convention that we both can
achieve the award of bequeathed pecuniary Will and this could also serve the
purpose of Charity, in addition to making you and me realizes some thing out
of these. Consequently, my proposal is that I would like you to stand out as
the lawful appointee Beneficiary to the outstanding clause of the deceased
Will so that the fruits of his labor will not get into the hands of some
corrupt bank officials.
I am Mr. Edward Yau of Shanghai Commercial Bank Limited (London Branch) I am
contacting you based on Trust and confidentiality that will be attached to
this transaction.The Management and the Legal department of our Bank
(Shanghai Commercial Bank Limited UK) in a recent meeting, Recommended that
the account of Albert Dominguez, who was one of my branch depositor, should
be declared Dormant, confisticated and the depositor's fund sent to the Bank
Treasury according to UK Banking and financial law. He died in world trade
centre as a victims of the September 11,2001 incident that befall the United
State of America, the bank has made series of efforts to contact any of the
relatives to claim this money but without success, you can confirm through
this site:
<http://www.september11victims.com/september11Victims/victims_list.htm>
Mr. Albert Dominguez is an account holder in my branch, he owns a dollar
account with the sum of US$18.2M deposited in a Secret account with my
branch .In fact, since his death, no next of kin of the Dollar account
holder(the brother) nor any relative of him has shown up for the claim this
because he has the account as a secret account thus he left all the
documents for the deposit with me. This is where I am interested and where I
want you to come in.
If after some years, the funds are unclaimed, the bank will confiscate the
fund into the bank treasury, Hence there is a Government Gazette/Circular
Mandating/Authorizing Banks to place on hold or freeze any account
containing large amounts that has been unserviceable for a reasonable period
of time. This is geared towards forestalling capital flight from the
economy.
In order to avert this negative development, I have contacted you for
assistance.
I wish to clarify you with the following issues! That we are the Counsel to
the said deceased; Mr. Albert Dominguez; this is why the Bank has given us
the mandate to provide the Beneficiary of the aforementioned clause. I just
want you to represent as the lawful Beneficiary.
This does not mean He is your relative as a matter of fact. My reason for
asking you to do so is because it has taken me one year to search for any of
the relatives but all effort was unsuccessful. He lived here for more than
ten years before his demise.
There is nothing illegal about it, the bank advised that I notify the
Beneficiary to come forward for claims. To solidify these claims, I will
proceed to the Probate Registry Jurisdiction here in the United Kingdom to
obtain documents such as grant of letters of administration which passes
recognition and absolute right to claim. I will ensure that everything is
legitimately done so that you could contact the Bank for the claims together
with the documents from the Probate Registry Jurisdiction such that there
will not be any breach of law. This would be taken to the probate division
of Royal Court of Justice. After the confirmation, the probate would now
release your letter of administration for claims to this Fund. This document
will give you the legal backing to receive this Fund. I would also want your
full names and address as you want them used in the approval/payment
documents and your telephone and fax numbers. Thanks and God bless.
Looking forward to your highly appreciated comments at your convenience.
Thank you,
Mr.Edward Yau.
