Dear Friend,
I hope that this correspondence meets you in good health, while I also use
this opportunity to express my appreciation for your prompt response to my
proposal. It is expected that after reading this correspondence, based on
better understanding of what is involved, you will make up your mind to be
fully involved with me.
Please bear in mind that the initiative based on which this project was
initiated is anchored on the fact that after a particular period, if the
entitlement is not disbursed to any beneficiary or next of kin, it will,
based on local contractual laws, be sent back to the National Treasury. But
as a financial consultant, who rather than allow the funds to be lost
totally in this manner, it is better for the funds to be put into a Trust
Account, while you and I split the funds in a mutually agreed manner, for
investment purpose.
Preparing the paper work to facilitate your acceptance as next of kin will
be my responsibility. Suffice it here to state that I have laid down far
reaching contacts and connections for the realisation of this
transaction,and all are well in place, to bring the project to a successful
fruition, and there is absolutely no risk involved, as we shall not in the
process, be violating any laws of land,or of any country.
However, if it is agreed in principle that you can work in partnership with
me on this matter, let me know by your return correspondence, so that we may
start up the necessary modalities.It is pertinent you know that we have to
act fast,swiftly and very obscure with this transaction,so as not to attract
any attention that will put this transaction into jeopardy. To commence
immediate action on the pending transaction,I will need the following
informations from you to enable us proceed officially:
(1) Full names
(2) Contact address
(3)Confidential tel/fax numbers
I shall firstly, get you duly accredited before the foreign payments
committee , as next of kin to late client, based on standing order, entered
into between him and the bank, prior to his death.
I will get these papers, duly notarised, prior to filing in on your behalf,
applications for payment of entitlement, to the departments responsible for
issuing approvals, based on which the entitlement is to be released in your
favour. From time of filing in for these claims to securing approvals, it
will take up to about five days, and subsequently about the same time for
the funds to be actually remitted into your yet to be provided account.
While giving me the consent to start the necessary work in your response to
this correspondence, please provide the informations I have requested, as
these details shall be submitted along with the application for release of
entitlement, which will be filed on your behalf. Please note that the
account must be one, to which you are sole signatory, so that we will avoid
a situation of difficulty emanating from the fact that you do not have
controlling mandate on the account. Moreso, it should be one that can
accommodate large volume of funds without undue curiousity.
For the sake of clarity, it is of utmost importance that i inform you at
this juncture that i am not ready to tolerate any form of dishonesty from
your end, for i believe strongly that for this transaction to succeed with
the highest level of confidentiality i MUST execute this project with a
reliable and responsive foreign partner, who will not at the completion of
the transaction attempt to extort and blackmail me because of my present
position in the company,knowing fully well that i cannot do anything, hence
i have agreed to allocate as much as 40% of the entire amount to you,while
the balance 60% is mine.
Sequel to this,I have decided that before i can commence this business
transaction with you, you must have to first guarantee me that the funds
will be a Hundred% safe in your custody and that i will have free access to
my own share of the funds when it finally arrives your account.I hope you
appreciate all our secured arrangements to ensure a hitch free transaction.
Please, kindly expedite action so as to commence officially with the
transaction. Once again, thank you very much for your willingness to assist
me in this transaction which will be beneficial to both of us.
I will start proceedings immediately I hear from you, to perfect the
arrangements,as i await your urgent response and i will also endeavour to
call you as soon as your contact details are made available to me for a
verbal discussion on the modalities of this transaction.
Regards,
Kanyen Wong.
