Subject: URGENT ATTENTION
RE: Regarding: Mr. Wallace .
Sir,
I crave your indulgnece for the unsolicited nature of his letter, but it was borne out of desperation and current development. please bear with me.
I am Barrister Usman Ali,a solicitor at law. i was the personal attorney to Mr. Wallace, a national/ citizen of your country who owns an auto parts producing company here in the United Kingdom. Here in after was refered to me as my client.
On the 21th of November 2000, my client was involved in a train accicent destination japan , all occupants of the train lost their lives.
I know that my client has no living kin because he is still single and not yet married, but i went ahead and made several inquiries to your embassy here in the UK to locate the relative of my client with all of his informations, i only did this to be double sure of the fact.
After all informations and action taken by your embassy but all proved
abortive,i went to an internet search,looking for a trustful and reliabe one to contact that will stand as the next of kin of the said diseased person. I have contacted you to assist you as the personal attorney of Late Mr. wallace in repatraiting the money left behind by him here in the united Kingdom, i am
doing this to save time so that the British Government would not claim and confisticate the huge amount of money valued at USD$18.5million
United States Dollars which is presently deposited into a security company here as family valuables. This consignment would be confisticated within a short period of time if not claimed by his relative/next of kin and we have about one month left.
Since i have been finally successful now to locate from the same country,I
hereby seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to late
Mr. Wallace so that the proceeds of his consignment valued at US$18.5 million dollars can be delivered to you by the security company
I would as well as the personal attorney of the diseased make sure that the consignment is delivere to you, and i would assist to get all necessary
legal documents that would be needed and used to back up the claim.
I guarantee you 100% that this would be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that would protect you from any breach of law.
I will like to inform you also that upon the reciept of this consignment by you,we will schedule a meeting and your and shall share the fund at the tone
of 30% to you and 70% to me.
Please reply me so that i would direct and instruct you with full informations/steps on what to do in respect to this claim.
Do send me a number with which i can reach you. I await your urgent response/reply to this email.
Thank you,
Barrister Usman Ali.
