Subject: ATTENTION!!! RE: MARK
BARR.WILLIAMS J. ALFRED (ESQ.)
WILLIAMS J & ASSOCIATES LAW FIRM
Office address:
4 Albert Embankments, London
SE1 7SR, United Kingdom.
Dear friend,
It is with trust and belief that I write to you this day as
my confidence is reposed in you to assist me in executing
this urgent business opportunity for our mutual benefits.
I am Barrister Williams Alfred (Esq.) a British national
and an Attorney based here in London. I had a client named
MR.MARK ,a national of your country .He used to work as a
Director with the Halliburton Group here in London. On the
2nd of August 2003, my client, his wife and their three
children were involved in a car accident along Manchester
Express road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately
lost their lives.
Since then I have made several enquiries in our Embassy to
locate any of my client's extended relatives. After these
several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his
relatives over the internet in order to locate any member
of his family but that was to no avail, hence I contacted
you as his supposed relative since you are also a foreigner.
Please, I want you to assist me in repatriating the money
left behind by my client before they get confiscated or
declared unserviceable by the Global Trust Finanace here in
London where these huge deposits were lodged.
He had an account valued at about US$20M(Twenty Million US
Dollars) and now the finance company has issued me a notice
to provide the next-of-kin or have the account freezed
within the next ten official working days.
Since, I have succeeded in locating you today as his
relative, hence, I hereby seek your consent to present you
as the next of kin to the deceased, so that the proceeds of
this account valued at US$20M can be paid to you and then
you and I can share the money, 50% to me and 50% to you. To
present you as the next of kin will pose no difficulty, as
there is no risk involved.
I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to
back up any claim we may make. All I require is your honest
co-operation to enable us see this transaction through. I
guarantee that this business proposal to you is 100% real
and will be executed under a legitimate arrangement without
any problem at all.
Please get in touch with me immediately you receive this
message so that I will give you further details. Remember to
include your own private or mobile cell phone with which I
can equally reach you.
Anticipating your prompt response.
Yours Sincerely,
BARR. WILLIAMS J. ALFRED ESQ
