Subject: GOOD DAY
Greetings,
Before I start,I must firstly, apologize for this unsolicited proposal
to you.I am aware that this is certainly an unconventional approach to
starting a relationship,but as time goes on you will realize the need
for my action.
My name is George jim, Solicitor to Gerald Welsh, who died with his
wife in an air crash on the 31st October 1999 in an Egyptian airline
flight990.
For confirmation check:

Before the death of Gerald Welsh, he maintained a fixed deposit account
with a Financial services Company here in the UK (details of which I
will disclose to you later). Since his death, none of his relatives
have come to make claims for this money as his beneficiary,and the
Security Company cannot release the fund from his account unless someone
applies for claims,as next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in the
Security Company guidelines.
The Security Company has made several futile efforts to contact his
relatives.As personal Lawyer to Mr.Gerald Welsh I am aware that he was a
secretive person and did not want anybody to know about the bank
account.He infact asked me to write a letter to the Security Company to stop
sending to him,his quarterly statement of account for fear that his
mails may be intercepted by the wrong people.
Based on this discovery, I now seek your permission to have you stand
in as a next of kin to the deceased, as all documentations will be
carefully worked out by me for the release of these funds allamounting to
the tune of(US$5,340,000.00).
This we have to do immediately because after five years the money will
be recalled to the bank`s treasury as unclaimed bills. It is on this
note I decided to seek a willing partner who will act as the next of
kin/beneficiary of Mr.Gerald Welsh rather than allow the bank Claim it.
It may interest you to know that we have secured from the probate
office,an order of mandamus to locate any of the deceased beneficiaries
The following will be required of you at this stage;
1.Your full name:In order for me to prepare the documents for the
transfer of the funds to your name.
2.Direct Telephone and fax numbers:For our private and documentary
correspondence.
Upon your acceptance I shall send you a copy of my international
passport for more confidentiality and trust. I shall be compensating you
with a million dollars ($1Million dollars) on final conclusion of this
project for your assistance and collaboration.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of the law.If this proposal is
acceptable to you.Please endeavor to contact me immediately THROUGH MY
Regards,
George jim
