Subject: STAND AS NEXT OF KIN/BENEFICIARY
FROM: BARR. JOSEPH RICHMANN (ESQ)
JOSEPH & ASSOCIATES,GREENBELT ZONE,
4 Albert Embankments, London
SE1 7SR, United Kingdom.
Attention My Good Friend,
I am Barrister JOSEPH RICHMANN (Esq). I had a client who shared the
same surname with you.He was a Citizen of your Country and worked with
MULTI-MEDIA PARTNERS INCORPORATED,London.
On the 2nd of August 2003, my client, his wife and their three children
were involved in a car accident along Manchester Express Road. All
occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.
Since then, I have made several frantic enquiries at your Embassy here
in London, to locate any of my client's extended relatives, this has
also proved no success.After these series of unsuccessful attempts, I
decided to trace his relatives over the internet, to locate any member
of
his family ,but to no avail, hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist me in repatriating the money left behind
by my client before they got it confiscated or declared it
unserviceable by the Finance House where this money was deposited.
Particularly and
more seriously, the Finance House where the deceased made a deposit
valued at US$20M. They gave me an ultimatum to provide the next-of-kin
within the shortest possible time or have the funds indefinitely
confiscated within the next ten official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over nine
(9) months now, I therefore seek your consent as a last resort to
present you as the next of kin to the deceased (My Late Client) so that
the
proceeds of this deposit valued at US$20M can be paid to you and then
you and I can share the money among ourselves in the following ratio:
60% to me, 40% to you .
I have all the necessary legal documents that can be used to back up
any claim we may make, all I require is your honest co-operation and
sincerity to enable us see this transaction through. I guarantee that
this
will be executed under a very legitimate arrangement that will protect
both of us from any breach of the law, and my profession as a lawyer
guarantees that.
Thank you for taken your time to go thru my mail and I shall highlight
the necessary steps to take soon as I acknowledge your prompt
anticipated affirmative reply. God bless you!
Most Sincerely,
BARR. JOSEPH RICHMANN (ESQ).
Attorney-At-Law.
GreenBelt Zone,London, Uk.
