Dear friend,
This is a personal email directed to you and I request that it
should be treated as such. I am Lewis Moore, a solicitor at law.
I am the personal attorney/sole executor to a prominent individual,
hereinafter referred to as 'my client' who worked as an independent oil
magnate in my country and who died in a car crash with his immediate
family on the 5th of Nov 2000. Since the death of my client in Nov,
2000, 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. More so, I 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 £9.8m GBP. The
board of directors of the company now 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 fund. The company had planned to invoke the abandoned
property Decree of 1996 to confiscate the funds after the expiration of
the period given to me but after an investigation in the finance
company, I found out that some members of the company wants to divert
this fund into their private accounts for their own selfish interest
and only want, to use the excuse that since I am not able to look for
some one to make the claim, the money should be made unserviceable and
that means submitting the fund to the federal government of this
country and some to the company management which is not their main
intentions.
By virtue of my closeness to the deceased and his immediate family,
I am very much aware of my client's financial standing. I do sincerely
sympathize the death of my client, but had thought it unprofitable for
his funds to be submitted to the federal government of this country and
the finance company where it is lodged. I have reasoned very
professionally and I feel it will be legally proper to present you as
the next of kin of my deceased client which 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" 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, so that the proceeds of
This Bank Account valued at Nine Million Eight Hundred Thousand British
Pounds Sterling only(£9.8million ) can be paid to you, before they get
confiscated or declared unserviceable to the bank where this huge
deposit is lodged. Note that this is legal,and 100% risk free since I
have all vital documents that would be requested by them and that would
confer you the legal right to make this claim. I find this possible for
the main reason 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 reprofiling of this fund, you need, first
to contact me via my alternative email address lewismoore@myway.com
signifying your interest and as soon as I obtain your confidence, I
will immediately intimate 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 assent 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. I
guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of the law. Please get in touch
for better confidentiality and send to me your telephone and fax
numbers to enable us discuss further about this transaction.
Like I said, I require only a solemn confidentiality on this. If
this proposal is acceptable by you, do not take undue advantage of the
trust I have bestowed in you, I await your urgent response.
Yours Sincerely,
Lewis Moore (Esq.).
