Dear Sir/Madam,
I am very sorry for this breach of protocol. This is because I don't know
how to personally reach you, except this internet which is very
porous.Please bear with me.
I am Barrister Williams.S. Abraham,a solicitor at law.The personal Attorney
to Engineer.Mark,a National of your Country,who used to work with The Shell
Development Company as a plant Engineer before his death in a plane crash
which took place in November,21st 2001.
He has a fix deposite of {US$5.3m} as a family belongings in the ASSURANCE
BANK plc ,with the hope of transferring it to his country as soon as he is
on leave.And, unfortunately he died alongside with his wife on their way
back from a trip,and have no "Next-Of- kin", and had no children, Since his
death I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my
clients extended relatives this has also proved unsuccessful. After these
several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his lastname,to locate any
member of his family hence I contacted you.
Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over 4 years
now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased
since you have the same last name so that the proceeds of this deposit
valued at {5.3million dollars} can be handed over to you and then you and me
can share the money 60% to me and 30% to you then 10% will be for any
expances that may occure, I will manipulate the necessary legal documents
that can be used to back up any claim we may make.
It is true that we don't know each other, but I believe that it takes two to
tangle with mutual understanding, devoid of cheating we will succeed. If you
would be interested to do this business with me,Please get in touch with me
by Email:<EMAIL:williams_sb77@yahoo.com.au> to enable us discuss further.In
your reply, I will appreciate questions before the commencement of this
deal,if any, please send your personal data,your telephone/fax numbers,and
an email address specifically for this business.
Please keep this very confidential for obvious security reasons. Contact me
for more information,all confirmable before we proceed, trusting to hear
from you shortly for a detailed information which are confirmable before you
can make up your mind .If however,you are not interested,do let me know by
return mail too as I will not contact anybody else until I hear from you.
I thank you in advance for your co-operation while expecting your immediate
positive reply.
