CONFIDENTIAL AND URGENT BUSINESS PROPOSAL
Dear Friend,
Hello and How are you today? I am very sorry if I pried into your privacy but due to your honesty,I am convinced that you would be capable to provide me with a solution. I am Mr. Rico Savage of G&S Legal Consultancy Services,I am writting on behalf of my late client Mrs. Mary Jacob,a successful businesswoman from your country based in Dakar,Senegal who died unfortunately with her family (Her Husband and two kids) in an air mishap in July 2000. I am contacting you simply to assist in claiming her deposited assets valued at €5,500,000 ( Five million Five hundred thousand Euros ) before it gets confiscated by the Netherlands Bank. The Bank has written me as her consultant and issued a final notice to provide any of her relatives or have the assets channel to the Netherlands National Treasury as unclaimed fund within the next 15 working days.
Since there was no relatives or next of kin left in our record, I decided to make several enquires to her embassy to locate any of her extended relatives but all my efforts proved unsuccessful and to no avail. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track her last name over the Internet to locate any member of her family hence I contacted you. Upon this discovery, I seek your permission to have you stand as NEXT-OF-KIN to the deceased so that the funds ( Five million Five hundred thousand Euros) can be released and paid into your account as the next of kin.
On receipt of your expression of interest (EOI),I have agreed that you will inherit 45% of this fund for your help and sincerity,45% for me while 10% for the refunds of processing expenses and to pay tax in your country(if any) upon successful confirmation of this funds in your bank account. Thereafter, all the related legal documents will be destroyed and we'll part ways. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating her relatives,my aim now is to usher you in legally as her relative since you are of the same nationality so that the fruit of her labour will not be in vain. All I require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law.Please urgently reply if you can handle it.
Best Regards,
Mr. Rico Savage
