Hello Friend,
Hope you are doing great and sound? I am Dr. Norman Kenneth
de Andrade Barrister at law and attorney to late Michael
Woody, an America Merchant otherwise known as my client who
was based in the United Kingdom and died of complications
from injuries sustained after a ghastly motor accident.
As the attorney to Sir, Michael Woody I was his confidant
as he shared with me virtually everything about himself,
his business and family. I was his attorney for 15 years
and during that period I wrote his WILL and was also named
as the executor, which has since been fulfilled. I am also
aware due to my closeness to him that the amount of 22
Million Euros he deposited with a bank in Europe was not
willed out. He told me about this on his sick bed and even
instructed that I should prepare a codicil to that
effect,however before I could finish my work he had died.
After his death, funeral and subsequent execution of his
will I went into action to ascertain the information passed
unto me by my client.
My investigation conformed to the information; at that
point I knew I had to do something to move the funds out of
the bank and knowing that I cannot do this alone I have
decided to contact you and seek your assistance and
acceptance to be the next of kin to the estate. It is
necessary for us to move the money out of the bank now
because if we do not do this within the three months the
bank would regard the money as sundry funds, which becomes
as good as their own money.
I cannot move the money in my name because he was my
client, for it could arouse suspicion thus the importance
of your assistance. Have my assurance that there is nothing
to fear about, as I also need your assurance that you would
work with me without fear or favour to achieve our desired
objective. The legal back up is no problem for I would be
responsible. Since the codicil was not ready before his
death, Letters of Administration without Will, would be
secured from the probate office, with this document
granting probate rights in your favour I would personally
apply on your behalf to the bank for the release of the
funds to you.
What I require from you to enable us achieve the above are
your:
Full and Official Names
Address
Date of Birth
Telephone and Fax numbers
Upon receipt of a confirmation of acceptance from you, a
sharing ratio would be worked out between us on the most
liberal and magnanimous terms.
Take care and have a nice day.
Sincerely,
Norman Kenneth de Andrade
