Subject: PLEASE GET BACK TO ME ASAP.
BARR. ROBERT BASIL (ESQ)
ROBERT & ASSOSCIATES,
4 Albert Embankments, London
SE1 7SR, United Kingdom.
Attn: Madras House,
Thanks for your mail; I want to let you know that this mail was not sent to a wrong person rather I was seeking for your partnership in this transaction since you have the same last name with my late client Mr. Mark House, which I have already explained to you in my previous mail.
Just like I wrote you previously, time is very limited as the finance house where my client had deposited this $20 million gave me an Ultimatum to produce the next of kin to come and claim the money or they will declare the funds Non-Serviceable and definitely confiscate it. We really need to act very fast and close in with them so that we could be ahead of time.
I am aware of the fact that you may not be related to my late client Mr. Mark House, All I need from you is your sincerity and whole-hearted assistance, and then get me following information quickly:
1. Your full names and full contact address.
2. Your first and second page of your international passport or your driver's licences. This must be scanned and send to me by email attachment so that I can get them in their original form. Either of these will serve, scanned copy of your international passport or driver's license.
3.Your direct telephone and fax numbers to communicate you speedily, and the name of the airport nearest to you...that is all that is needed.
Be rest assured that this transaction is 100% risk-free, since I have all legal documents that we can use to back-up our claim, also I am known as his personal attorney. Accordingly to international law of inheritance, it is only the attorney that can produce the next-of-kin to the deceased in absence of the deceased person. I have decided to share this money together with you as I have pre-informed you, that is, 50% for me and 50% to you.
Note that this said funds of $20million dollars will be delivered to you in cash after securing all the legal documents in your name.
Please, this info is urgently needed so that I will proceed to the department of Justice here in the UK and secure legal authorization in your name and establish before the court of law that you are the bona fide next of kin to my client, then we have the finance house transfer the money to you for our sincere mutual benefit and sharing.
Get me this info very fast so that we could work really ahead of time.
I anticipate your quick affirmative response.
Most Sincerely,
Barr. Robert Basil (Esq.),
Attorney-At-Law, London, UK.
