Subject: SIMON FOR YOU
My Dear Friend,
My name is Mr. Simon Johnston, a lawyer in the Chambers of Nabarro Nathanson (Legal Practitioners) in London. I am writing this letter to you to intimate you of a pending transaction I want to execute with you. Anyway I got your contact through one of the Internet Reference Directories in my Chambers.
One of my valued clients - Mr. Antonio Montoya died together with his lovely wife during the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center back in 2001. I was his personal lawyer and normally his vital documents were kept in my Law Chambers for safekeeping. He left no further traces of any of his next-of-kin in his native Country. All efforts to trace any of the relatives of late Mr. Antonio Montoya for the past years have not yielded any positive result.
While he was alive, Mr. Antonio Montoya had banked with Sabanci-Bank Plc of London. As his personal lawyer, I know he had a rich account with this bank because he kept these Bank Documents with my Chambers for safe keeping. Shortly after his death, I approached Sabanci-Bank to inform them of the untimely death of Mr. and Mrs. Antonio Montoya in this ugly incident at the World Trade Center. On my inquiry his Account Officer told me that the Credit Balance standing to his account with Sabanci-Bank is GBP9.2m. Ever since 2001 this money has been in this account
untouched!
Now,how do you come in and what is your business with all this? I am sure this is the question you would be asking me? Simple. As the personal lawyer to late Antonio Montoya and since all vital documents relating to his Bank Account and other businesses are with my Chambers, I decided that I intimate you of this development, with your collaboration and cooperation, I can present you to Sabanci-Bank Plc of London as the Next-of-Kin to the late Antonio Montoya. After proper verification of this Claim by the bank this money will be transferred to your bank account hence
you come in as the Next-of-Kin to late Antonio Montoya.
How do we do it? I will write a covering Letter and include all necessary relevant documents and submit them to Sabanci-Bank introducing you as the Next-of-Kin to late Antonio Montoya whom I have been trying to contact all these years. In this Letter I will request the bank to transfer late Antonio Montoya's account balance to you (as the next-of-kin) according to the wishes of my Client - late Mr. Montoya for further administration to other members of the family. I will also send to you copies of these Documents I will submit to the bank. Immediately the Bank receives these Documents, they will write you to confirm that you are the Next-of-Kin to Antonio Montoya. Immediately this is done, subsequent communications will be between you and the bank. I will only be monitoring developments from the side. With these documents, the bank will start the process of transferring this GBP9.2m to you. The bank will verify the genuineness of these documents, approve same and transfer the GBP9.2m accordingly to your bank account. I will also testify personally to the Bank (on request) that you are the Next-of-Kin to late Antonio Montoya. Making available these documents to the bank is all they need to effect payment.
I propose upon completion of the transaction and the money confirmed into your local bank account, that this GBP9.2m will be shared equally between both of us - that is on 50% - 50% basis.
All I need to do is to put you up as the legitimate Next-of-Kin to late Mr. Montoya, the bank writes you to confirm this, then transfer process starts without delays. All necessary paper work will be done by me.
What do you think about this? While I look forward to hearing from you soon, absolute confidentiality and secrecy remain very important in this transaction.
Thank you and God bless you.
Mr.Simon Johnston
