Subject: Send the following information to me immediately
Dear Partner,
Goodday, how are you doing today? hope fine, Like you have already kown, i am Barrister Pic Williams., i reside here in Nigeria, married with three kids. Phone number, 234-8059263830.
I sent you my proposal because i want to use youe name to secure this fund. Whether you are truelly my late client next of kin or not, what matters is for me to present you to the bank and instruct the bank to transfer ownership to you, since my late client did not put any ones name as his next of kin before his death.
After the death of my client, i have searched every nook and cranny to see if i could find any of his relatives, i even went to his embassy to make a report but i did not get any good result. After sometime, the bank where he deposited the fund wrote ma and asked me to provide the next of kin to my late client or else, the fund will be diverted to the bank's treasury account as an uncliamed fund. so, i decided to look for a good trust worthy person so i can use his or her name to secure the fund and share it together with him or her. I am very happy that you have the same last name with my late client, this will make our claim more faster.
Meanwhile, i want us to work like brother and sister with one love and understandind. i am a good christain and will not want anything that will stain my name. so, i want to tell you that nothing wroong is going to happen to any of us or any break of laws in each of our countries. Everything that concerns this busines is real and legal with 100% risk free. just make up your mind and work with me, i assure you that we will secure the fund and both of us will be happy.
I have all the related documents to back you up as the next of kin to my late client. all you have to do is to send your full information to me so i can forward it to the bank to your name. Another thing is for you to co-operate with me and the paying bank. As soon as the bank approves you as the beneficary of the fund, then the fund will be paid to you, then i will come over to your country to meet you for our percentage sharing and investment plans. I will scan my call to bar certificate tomorrow because it is not with me right now just for you to know that i am a lawyer.
I want you to send the following information to me immediately.
Your full name
Residential address
Phone & Fax numbers
Age
Occupation
Marital status.
As soon as i receive these information, i will commence and forward it to the paying bank for change of ownership and payment approval to your name.
Best regards to you and your family.
Barr. Pic Williams.
