Dear Friend,
I am James Williams, Attorney to Mr. William Wise, a British Contractor with the British Pertroleum
Corporation, United Kingdom. I have an important business proposition for you.My Client, Mr. William Wise
died in the London blast of July 7th, 2005 and He made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar
months, valued at US$11m in Diba Finance which expired October 30th 2005. Upon maturity,I sent a routine
notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month precisely November 2005, I sent
another reminder and still had no response.
>From file, he died without making a will and all attempts to trace his next of kin has been fruitless.I therefore
made further investigation and discovered that Mr,William Wise did not declare any next of kin or relations in
any of his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my possession. This sum of US$11m is
currently unclaimed. From experience no one will ever come forward to claim it and according to inheritance
Laws of the United Kingdom, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the
Local Government Authorities here in London, United Kingdom, if nobody applies to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. William Wise so that the
funds can be claimed. How is it possible? It is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names,
telephone numbers and a brief description about yourself. We can then arrange for the necessary documents
and affidavits that will put you in place as the next of kin. I shall draft and notarize a will in your favour and
also secure all the necessary documents for the transaction.
An order can then be sent to the Bank to pay the money into any specified account of our choice and we
share in the ratio 30:60 and 10% for expenses that we would jointly incur towards the completion of the
business. There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by myself. If you are
interested, please reply immediately to my private email boxes : attorneycontact@gawab.com or
attorney2005@luxmail.com
Upon your response, I shall give you a number to call me for further discussions. You should please observe
utmost confidentiality of the transaction.
Yours faithful,
Mr,James Williams
