Subject: KIND RESPONSE REQUIRED.
Barr.Peter Wagner.
Birmingham, United Kingdom.
Attn:Sir/Madam,
I am sorry for contacting you through this medium without a previous notice,
I had to use this means of communication because it is an easier way of
making contact with people around the world. My name is Barr.Peter Wagner, a
consultant in practice here in Birmingham United Kingdom. I had a
friend/client by name Mr.Jon Brødsgaard,a contractor based in London now
deceased. My client lost his life alongside his wife and only child in 2005
while on a visit to Sri Lanka.
Prior to the Death of my Late Client,He secured a contract of
US$12,500,000.00 million from the Kingdom of Bahrain, following which he
received a 30 mobilization fee of US$3,750,000.00 Million and successfully
executed the contract, but the balance of US$8,750,000.00 Million contract
payment was in the Process of being transferred into his Account which he
submitted to the BahrainGovernment when he lost his life in the Tsunami
Disaster.
Three Months after his sudden death, the Government effected the transfer of
the balance of his Contract Funds into the account that my deceased Client
has on his file with the Government. As his friend, personal assistant and
his business consultant, I have been officially notified and instructed by
the bank where the money is currently deposited that I should provide and
forward the particulars of my deceased client's next of kin so that the
funds in his account can be remitted into his Next of Kin's account in
accordance with the Bahrain Laws.
However, as his personal assistance and close confidant, I want you to know
that my late Client died intestate, i.e he died without leaving a WILL and
all my efforts to locate any of his relatives whom I can present to the Bank
has proved abortive. Therefore I am seeking for your consent to present you
as the relative/next of kin and subsequently the beneficiary of the fund so
that the proceeds of this account valued at US$8,750,000.00 million can be
paid to you since I as his attorney will present you as the benefactor,I can
assure you that this is a harmless opportunity and I can also assure you
that there won't be any breach of the law in the process as I am familiar
with the sequence and in control of the situation here. The bank has agreed
to effect transfer of funds on provision of my client's relation and this
has to be strictly on my recommendation. On receipt of a positive response
from you, I will furnish you with details of the transaction and also we
shall discuss your percentage before taking further steps. Do get back to me
with the information below
