Subject: ATTENTION AMARJIT SINGH
Dear Amarjit Singh, First and foremost, I want to apologize for contacting you through this medium. Let me introduce myself to you. I am Marx Lawrence, Esq; a Barrister at Law and Lead Counsel of Lawrence and Associates Chambers located at Plot 7, Forces Avenue, Accra-Ghana. I am the personal Lawyer to Dr. Daniel Singh, a National of your country, who used to work with Ashanti Gold Mining Company in Ghana. On the 24th of June 2000, my client, his wife and their two children were involved in a car accident along Takoradi express road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then, I have made several enquiries through your embassy to locate any of my clients' extended relatives but this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his last name over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by
my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Security Firm where these huge deposits were lodged. Particularly, Global Security and Finance Limited Ghana where the deceased deposited his inheritance valued at $7.5 million dollars. The Security Firm have issued a notice to provide the next of kin or have the his deposit confiscated within the next fifteen official working days. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 5years now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you have the same last name so that the proceeds of this inheritance valued at $7.5 million dollars can be transfered to you and then you and me can share the money as follows: 50% for me and 45% for you while 5% will be kept aside for reimbursement of any expenses secured during the transaction. I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make. All I require is your honest cooperation to
enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Please get in touch with me via email to enable us discuss further details. Best regards, Marx Lawrence Esq.
