Dear Mr Sekhar,
Thanks for your response to my email. I know that you may not be related to the late Walter but I am quite convinced that we can successfully do this deal and claim this fund without stress if you can cooperate with me. The government here has indicated interest to take over this fund if no beneficiary comes for it in accordance with the law. But it is quite easy to present you as the next of kin/beneficiary to the late Engr.Walter so that this fund will be paid to you and we two will share it.
The most important thing here is for you to keep the deal very secret and strictly confidential so that no third party will know about it. The deal will be handled legally and legitimately so that we shall not have any breach of the law during the course of transaction and even after the transaction.
You should understand that Projects like this does not come up every day so I want to solicit for your understanding and for you to give this deal an adequate attention. In order for us to succeed, we must have to work as a team as brothers in truth,honesty and in understanding and have absolute confidence in each other.
For us to start the deal, you should send me your data as follows; Your full name, Address (home or office), Age, Occupation, Your confidential Phone and Fax numbers. These details are needed to process the legal and inheritance documents from the Federal Ministry of Justice here (Probate division) in your name as the next of kin to the deceased account owner.
Through that way, it will never be against the law and we will be safe. There is no risk involved as long as you are ready to cooperate with me and keep the secret.That above process will make the government to approve/recognise you as the true beneficiary/next of kin to the late Walter. As soon as that is done, the documents will be sent to our bank and the bank will then contact you to let you know the conditions for the release of the inheritance to you. Once it is done this way, we have succeeded in building the security and you should not have fear of any thing as long as you don't go about disclosing to people that you are not the real beneficiary.
As soon as this inheritance deposit is released to you, I shall be coming over to your country for the disbursement of the funds in the ratio of 50-50. (50% for you and 50% for me) However, Note that this project will involve some financial expences to get it accomplished.
If you are ready or willing for the deal, do get back to me so that we can commence the processes immediately. This transaction can be concluded within three weeks if we follow it up adequately. For any further clarification, you can always reach me on this phone number; +234-803-711-8012. This is my direct phone number.
Waiting to hearing from you.
My regards
Musa
