Dear Lydia Baker,
This is a personal email directed to you and I request that it be
treated as such. I must solicit your confidentiality and assure you that I
am
contacting you in good faith and this proposal will be of mutual
benefit. I barrister Andrew Burr ,a solicitor at law. I am the personal
attorney/sole executor to the late Mr. Robert Baker hereinafter referred to
as 'my
client's who worked as an independent oil magnate in my country and who
died in a car crash with his immediate family in east London on the 5th
of November 2000.
My late client a former Sub-Comptroller working with Chevron Texaco Oil
here in the United Kingdom and had left behind a deposit of Nine Million
Eight Hundred Thousand British Pounds Sterling only(£9.8million)with a
finance company. After the death of my client, the finance company contacted
me, as his attorney to provide his next of kin who should inherit his
fortune,this according to them is their policy in sure circumstances.
Since the death of my client, I have written several letters to the
embassy with an intent to locate any of his extended relatives whom shall be
claimants/beneficiaries of his abandoned personal estate and all such
efforts have been to no avail. I had to inform the finance company
about my fruitless effort in locating my late client close relative or his
next
of kin. The board of directors of the company just adopted a resolution
and I was mandated to provide his next of kin for the payment of this money
within the next 15 official working days or forfeit the money as an
abandoned
funds. The company had planned to invoke the abandoned property decree
of the company to confiscate the funds after the expiration of the period
given me. Also I have received official letters in the last two days
suggesting a likely proceeding for confiscation of his abandoned personal
assets in linewith existing laws of the institution.
Well I have reasoned very professionally and I can use a legal means to
present a next of kin of my deceased client. this is legally possible
and would be done in accordance with the laws of the land. On this note I
decided to search for a credible person and finding that you bear a
similar last name, I was urged to contact you, that I may, with your
consent,
present you to the "trustee" as my late client's family member so as to
enable you put up a claim to the bank in that capacity as a next of kin
of my client. I find this possible for the fuller reasons that you are of
the same nationality and you bear a similar last name with my late client
making it a lot easier for you to put up a claim in that capacity. I have
all vital documents that would confer you the legal right to make this
claim and
would make them available to you so that the proceeds of this bank
account valued at £9.8million can be paid to youbefore it gets confiscated
or
declared unserviceable to the bank where this huge amount is lodged.
I do sincerely sympathize the death of my client but I think it is
unprofitable for his funds to be submitted to the government of this
country or some financial institution. My aim is to retrieve this funds and
let
it be claimed by the deceased family name,etc. for this I seek your
assistance since I have been unable to locate the relatives for the past
5years
now.
I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased
since you have the same last name giving you the advantage so that the
proceeds of this account can be paid to you and then both of us can share
the
money,60% to me and 40% to you. I know there might be other persons
out there with the same surname as my last client, but after a little check
my
instinct tells me to contact you. Can I trust you on this? I shall
assemble all the necessary documents thatwill be used to back up your claim.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of law. I will not fail to bring to
your notice that this proposal is hitch-free and that you should not
entertain any fears as the required arrangements have been made for the
completion of this transfer.
Like I said, I require only a solemn confidentiality on this. Please
get in touch with me by my alternative email: andyburr4@myway.com
for better confidentiality and send to me your telephone and fax
numbers to enable us discuss further on this transaction. My contact number
is +44
7624 172568. If this proposal is acceptable by you, do not take undue
advantage
of the trust I have bestowed in you,Thanks for your understanding.
Kind Regards.
