Subject: Regards
My name is Barr.Abdul Halim Ismail,a legal practitioner with Abdul Halim
Law Firm in Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia.I saw your contact and profile and
decided that you could cooperate with me in this proposition.I had a client
who was deceased in November 2001,in Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia.
I am contacting you because you have the same surname as my deceased
client and I felt that you could help me in the distribution of funding that was
left in my deceased client's bank account.This funding is closed to be
declared un-serviceable by the bank as there were no indicated next of kin
beneficiary of the funding in that bank account.The total fund in this bank
account of my deceased client is US$ 3.6 Million (Three Million Six Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars)
The bank had issued me a notification to contact the next of kin of my
deceased client for either to re-activate the bank account or to make
claim with the beneficiary of the funding in their bank account,with monthly
surcharges of 6% to be deducted as an Escrow safe keeping fee of the bank
account,so as to avoid the indefinite closure and confiscation of the funding.
My proposition to you is to seek your consent in presenting you as the next
of kin and beneficiary of my deceased client,since you have the same last
name with him.This means that the proceeds of his bank account would be
paid to you as his next of kin or the legitimate beneficiary.When the proceeds
in his bank account are paid to your account, we would share the proceeds on
a mutually agreed percentage of 60% to me and 40% to your kind self.
All the legal documents to back up your claim as my client's next of kin would
be legitimately procured by me.The most important thing I would need is your
honest cooperation in this proposition.This would be done under a legitimate
arrangement that would protect you from any breach of the law.
If this business proposition offends your moral ethics,please pardon my
correpondance.But in the contrary if it pleases you,then,contact me at once
byresponding to this mail.Here is my alternate email address:
abdulhalim_01@gawab.com <mailto:abdulhalim_01@gawab.com>
Kindest regards,
Barr.Abdul Halim Ismail Esq.
