Your Urgent Attention Dear,
I am Barrister Williams Yukukazu (Esq).I have a client Mr. Mark Warnen from United Kingdom,who bears the same last name with you, and a national of your Country who used to work with Mekon Associates Company in Tokyo-Japan. On the 2nd of August 2003, my client, his wife and their three children were involved in a car accident along Manch Express road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.
Since then I have made several enquiries to your Embassy to locate any of my client's extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives over the internet ashe rightly told me that his relativs are into Auto Cars,to locate any member of his family but of no avail, hence I contacted you. I have contacted you to assist me in repatriating the money left behind by my client before they got confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Finance House where these huge deposits were lodged. Particularly, the Finance House where the deceased had an account valued at about US$10.5M has issued me a notice to provide the next-of-kin or have the account confiscated within the next 15 official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over nine (9) months now, I seek your consent if he is not your relative to present you as the next of kin to the deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$10.5M, can be paid to you and then you and I can share the money, 70% to me and 30% to you.
I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make, all I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law and myself.
Please observe utmost confidentiality and be rest assured that this Transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country.Please upon the receipt of this mail message,send to me the Following,
1 Your full Name and address.
2.Your full contact information
3.Your Telephone Numberand Fax Number.
Anticipating your prompt response.
Yours Sincerely,
Williams Yukukazu & Associate,
