Subject: Re: NEXT OF KIN NEEDED
My Dear Harry ,
I wish to acknowledge the receipt of your email in respect of my proposal to you, I thank you and request for your honest interest to assist me in this great mutual transaction. I am doing this transaction with you based on trust,for this reason you have to assure me that this fund will be safe when transferred into your account and you are not going to betray me in this transaction. I would have loved to have a meeting with you but because of my work it will not be possible till this fund is transferred into your account then I will be with you for the disbursement of the fund. In the first instance what I want you to do in this transaction is to stand as the bona-fide next of kin to the deceased.
I am going to do all the paper works to show that you are the next of kin to my decease client because the man in question Mr. Simon Cohen did not write any will before he died with his family in the auto crash. For this reason the bank is ready to welcome any person who will come up as the next of kin to the deceased by showing some proof like his account number with them and the amount involved. I am going to furnish you with all these vital information.
I want to guarantee you that there is no risk involve in this business so far you can abide by my guidance and instructions. You have to know that all the under ground work has been neatly done. In my next reply I will give you an Agreement on how we shall share the fund when transferred to your account and after that a Text Of Formal Application for you to fill and send to the bank for the claims. This transfer process will take us about 7 to 8 working days to complete.
I want you to maintain the confidentiality aspect of this transaction. You have to keep it to yourself because no body here is aware that I am using you to claim the money as the next of kin to my client till this fund gets into your account. I don't want any thing that will tarnish my image or destroy my political career in the next presidential election.
My regards to you and your family,
Hon. Barr J UBASS Esq,
