Dear Friend,
Compliments of the day. I hope that this letter does not surprise you because we have not meet. However, I urge you to treat the information which it contains with due and utmost attention. Apart from being eternally grateful to you, I also assure that you shall be adequately compensated.
I am Richard Williams , an attorney at law. A deceased client of mine, by name Mr. Andrew, who herein after shall be referred to as my client, died as the result of a heart-related condition in September 2001. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the Funds/money left behind by my client before it is confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this deposit valued at USD$12,000,000,00 (Twelve million United states dollars) is lodged.
This bank has issued me a notice to contact the next of kin, or the account will be confiscated because there is a government gazzette/mandate authorising all banks to freeze or confiscate any account that has not been servicable in a long period of time, this is geared towards capital flight for the economy.
My proposition to you is to seek your consent to present you as the next-of-kin and beneficiary of my named client, since you have the same last name with my deceased client, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you, Then we can share the amount on a mutually agreed-upon percentage of which 50% will be for me,30% for you,10% for any reputable charity home because this fund belongs to a deceased man and 10% set aside for any expenses we might incure in the course of this transaction.
All legal documents to back up your claim as my client's next-of-kin will be provided. All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this transaction through. This will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
If this business proposition offends your moral values,do accept my apology but if not, then contact me at once to indicate your interest, By giving me your telephone number so that i too can contact you.I will be awaiting your response soonest.
Regards,
Richard Williams (Esq)
