Good day,
May I introduce myself to you and as well let you know my purpose of
contacting you. I am Barr. Andrew White solicitor and notary public,
the personal Attorney to Mr. Sheu Yuan-dong, governor of Taiwan's
Central Bank, his wife and only daughter with other four other
finance officials returning from a conference in Bali Died in a plane
crash in Taiwan, unfortunately they all lost their lives in the event
of the plane crash, since then I have tried everything humanly
possible to locate any of my clients relatives but all my efforts
were unsuccessful.
For you to understand what happened please view the link below:
<http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9802/16/taiwan.crash.update2/>
After all these trials, I have decided to contact you to assist in
repatriating the money and property my client left behind before
they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by (Secoe Greece)
where my client lodge these huge deposits.
Particularly, the bank affiliate where my client had a deposit valued
at about U.S$60.5 million U.S dollars, though unknown to them.
Consequently, the Secoe issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or
have the account confiscated within a short time.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives all these while,
I now seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the
deceased since I have the warrant and license to present you as
the legal beneficiary,
so that both of us can retrieve the money from Secoe Greece
and subsequently share the funds; 60% for me and 35% for you,
while 5% should be for expenses that may be incured in the processing.
It may interest you to note that I have all necessary legal documents
that can be used to backup the claim.
Do not worry about the legitimate of the business since the steps
in this transaction will be that of legal procedures.
A power of Attorney will be issued to you as a legal beneficiary and
representive of my late client.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement
that will protect you and myself from any breach of the law.
I hope you will welcome this life opportunity, if so please get back
to me in confirmation of your good interest through my private e-mail:
(andrew.white@lawyer.com) to enable us discuss further.
Thanks in anticipation of your kind co-operation.
Best regards
Barr. Andrew White(Esq)
