Subject: Dear VICTIMNAME VICTIMNAME
Dear VICTIMNAME VICTIMNAME,
Thanks for your prompt response and your willingness to partner with me in the claim of the estate of Engineer Ross VICTIMNAME. I have contacted you based on my frantic drive to salvage the estate of my late client from being confiscated by the officials of his bank due to their corporate aggrandizement and banking policy on unclaimed funds. It would be very painful and unbearable if the hard earned money of my late client will go-down the-rail when l have the legal empowerment to present to his bank his beneficiary as his advocate.
Moreso , l have solicited your lenience as the lawyers of the deceased to present you before his bank as his beneficiary and recipient of his estate in accordance with the British law. The law empowers me as the attorney of the deceased to present to the authority such as the bank the beneficiary of my late client and to secure all the required documents to buttress such claim, hence my intention to present you as the beneficiary of Engineer Ross VICTIMNAME is legal and totally risk free which may not be based on blood relationship but same surname.
I shall secure all the legal documents here in London, United Kingdom to back you up in this claim, equip you with adequate information about Engineer Ross VICTIMNAME that the bank will need and l will defend you before the law and other concerned authorities to officially create a legal platform for the transferring of this money to you. All l will need from you is your sincere trust, honesty and faithfulness to keep my share of this money in your custody pending when l come to your country for disbursement. You should also avoid undue publicity pending when all the documents to this claim have been secured, approved authenticated in your name as the proxy beneficiary of Engineer Ross Marley.
However, I will have to apply to the bank of Engineer Ross VICTIMNAME with your information such as your full names, home address, telephone and fax numbers without any delay. Please, give me your full consent and provide me with this information to enable me apply to his bank posing you as the beneficiary of Engineer Ross Marley, you will never regret this in life, l guarantee you not under estimating the benefit of this transaction. I need to apply to his bank as soon as possible for commencement of this claim with the requested information and will forward to you a copy of my letter to the bank for your view, update and documentation.
Best Regards,
Barr. Lucas Wheeler.
