Subject: BUSINESS
Dear Sir,
I am an attorney to Mr. Grant Woods, a wealthy
businessman who died with his family (wife and his two
children) in a ghastly motor accident here in the UK
three years ago.
When he was writing his will, he told me of a fixed
deposit of GP5.2million with a bank here in the UK,
with orders on how it should be shared between his wife
and children.
I am now seeking your willingness to stand as next of
kin to this man since it is the law in Great Britain
that at the expiration of six years the funds will be
marked unclaimable and will revert to ownership by the
British Government because all efforts made by the bank
to get any of his relatives to claim this money were
unsuccessful.
If interested please reply so that I may inform you on
how I plan to execute this transaction and also discuss
how we are going to share the funds.
Best wishes.
Sincerely,
James Roberts
