Good day,
This is a personal email directed to you and I request that it be treated as
such.
I am Viktor Wiebe, a solicitor at law. I am the personal Attorney/sole
executor to the late Mr.Randolph Hyde, hereinafter referred to as 'my
client'who worked as an independent oil magnate in my country. He died in a
car crash with his immediate family on the 4th of Oct 1998. Since the death
of my client in Oct 1998, I have written several letters to
the embassy with 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.
More so, have received official letters in the last few weeks suggesting a
likely proceeding for confiscation of his abandoned personal assets in line
with existing laws by the bank in which my client deposited the sum of 3.8
million U.S.D. On this note I decided to search for a credible person, I was
urged to contact you, that I may, with your consent, presentyou to the
"Trustee" Bank as my late client's surviving 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 bear a similar
last name with my client making it a lot easier for you to put up a claim in
that capacity. Therefore, to facilitate the immediate transfer of this fund,
you need, first to contact me via email signifying your interest and as soon
as I obtain your confidence, I will immediately appraise you with the
complete details as well as fax you the documents, with which you are to
proceed and I shall direct on how to put up an application to the bank.
HOWEVER, you will have to accent to an express agreement which I will
forward to you in order to bind us in this transaction. Upon the receipt of
your reply, I will send you by fax or E-mail the next step to take. 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.
Best regards,
VICTOR WIEBE.
