Subject: Urgent need of your co-operation:
Dear Friend, I wish to approach you with a request that would be of immense
benefit to both of us. I am an attorney based in Scotland Unite d Kingdom. I
want you and I to make some fortune out of a situation that I am obviously
left with no other better option. The issue that I am presenting to you is a
case of my client that willed a fortune to his only daughter. It is
unfortunate that he and his daughter died on the London Bomb attacks on 7
July 2005. The wife died of heart attack on receiving the sad new s a week
after. I am now faced with a problem of getting a trusted person who I will
make the beneficiary that I would pass the fortune to. And according to the
law such fortune is supposed to be bequeathed to the government if there is
not any relative s or next-of-kin of the decease that would surface for
claim of the fortune. However, I personally don’t belong to such school o f
thought that proposes that such fortune be given to the government because
this is cheating and is possible that the top government t officials for
their own selfish interest could divert the fortune. Because of this I am
contacting you to seek your acting as the beneficiary of the will. I am my
client attorney and I alone knew about his will. Upon indication of your
interests, all I will do is to amend the will by fitting in your name as the
supposed next-of-kin an d back it up with a sworn affidavit, which
automatically became valid. This amendment should be between us and must not
leak out t o anyone. It is absolutely confidential. I have complete
information of his bank account details with an outstanding balance of
$48,550,000.00USD ($48.550 Million USD). To make you be sure of this, I can
provide you with details of his bank to enable you to log on to his account
to confirm this balance. I know that you would be apprehensive and feel that
this is a big sum, but it doe s not matter because this is a legacy being
passed on to a next-of-kin and you are the available next-of-kin. As I am
not very sure of getting your consent yet on the issue, I prefer not to
divulge my full identity so as not to risk being disbarred. Until I am sure
of your consent and full co operation then I will not be afraid to give you
my full identity. In the meanwhile, I would prefer that we maintain
correspondence by email and fax. At this point I want to assure you that
your true consent, full cooperation and confidentiality are all that are
required to enable us to take full advantage of this golden opportunity. I
shall make representation to the legal courts to facilitate the amendment
process within three working days. Since this is a transaction of immense
benefit to both of us, I would want that we shared all expenses according to
our agreed sharing ratio of the fortune. The sharing ratio shall be 60% for
me and 40% for you. This shall also be applicable to all expenditures that
would be incurred in t he course of the transaction because I wouldn’t want
either of us to feel cheated. P lease note that this is a legal and risk
free transaction that does not in anyway hamper the monetary laws of your
country. It is an inheritance fund. If you are interested to work with me,
please provide me with y our name, address, nationality, age, and date of
birth, height, and phone and fax numbers as required for the amendment of
the will. On completion of this, I will send you a copy of the amended will
which you will f ax to the bank with a back up letter written by your good
self requesting for the release of the fund to you. I will also write to the
bank as the legal representative of my client before his demise, ordering
for the transfer of the fund to you, as the beneficiary of his will. I will
appreciate your urgent response in this regard. Thanks for your anticipated
cooperation. Yours faithfully, KIRK MURDOCH.
