Subject: Hello
>From The Desk Of Barrister Kingsley Don,
London, W8 5DL,
26 Kensington Court,
England.
Dear Friend,
I know my message will come to you as a surprise. Therefore,I tender my
excuse.
I am Barrister Kingsley Don,the president of Donald legal chambers here in
UK,an adviser to governments establishment, and personal lawyer to the late
Mr Mark Ross, an International bussinessman who died over two years ago on
ghastly motor accident on his way to Asia on official duty.
It was three weeks from today that I received a call from the bank where he
kept some money, notifying me that, he deposited a sum of Seven Million Five
Hundred Thousand United State Dollars($7.500,000.00) in their financial
institute, information they got from some documents that back-up the
depositions in which my name was mentioned as his personal Lawyer,the bank
advices me to provide them with the name of the next of kin for the money
because for the past two years and some months now, the money has been with
the security company without anybody coming forth for it.
After so many attempt I made to get in touch with the family and relatives
failed, and to my utmost surprise, you bear the same surname with my client,
I decided to contact you because of the ultimatum of twenty one days from
now and pressure from security company which says that if I failed to
forward them with the name of the next of kin, the money deposited will be
forfieted finally and redirect the fund to the government treasury as
unclaimed fund,as constituted in the laws of banking,security company and
other financial institutions here in United Kingdom, for this reason your
sincere help is needed.
On my own part as the attorney, I will facilitate in getting all the
necessary legal documents from the ministry of justice here in UK that will
prove the Legality of this money, which will be transferd to you so that you
and I can share the money. I am proposing 45 percent of this money to you
and 5 percent for any auxillary expencese from the financial firm transfer
charges.
I've got in my possesion the Certificate Of Deposit of the said fund, all i
require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this transaction
through and i guarantee that this would be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that would protect you from any breach of law.
Pls, get intouch with me through my private secured and confidential email
(amazingchamber@fastermail.com)for us to discuss further.
l am anxiously expecting your urgent response.
Best Regards
Barr. Kingsley Don, Esq
