From: "Charles Williams" <esqcharles_williams@hotmail.com>

Subject: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND RESPOND,(CONFIDENTIAL).
Dear Aaron,
Thanks for your prompt response to my mail though you are still skeptical
and undecided on whether to assist me and prevent the plans of the top
company directors from materializing hence will suggest that you call me at
your earliest convenience on +447951322003,+447924020881.My prior mail to
you was written as a matter of last resort because of the circumstances
surrounding this claim and I know you will be wondering what the plans of
the directors are but I want you to hold on while I give you the details on
why I contacted you and also why this has to be kept very confidential. I
contacted you because after the death of my late client, I was informed by
the finance company to search for any member of his extended family (related
especially consanguinally), to put up a claim, or who could be so
represented as managers or trustees for his deposited funds with them which
stands at over £9.8million British Pounds Sterling and due to the fact that
he died with his immediate family members.
Mark was an oil merchant and he had oil dealings around Europe and Africa.
He died in 2000 at 55 along side his wife and children. They were
Christians. He lived most of his years here in the U.K but travelled often
and I served as his private attorney for the last 9 years proceeding his
death.After preliminary efforts of search which came to no avail, We were
given an ultimatum at the beginning of the new year to look for some one to
come for the claim or have the funds liquidated and made unserviceable in
accordance with existing laws because it will be assumed that no member of
his family is alive.However,it might interest you to know that, after a
thorough investigation in the finance company, I found out that some members
of the company are currently planning to divert this fund for their 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 reverting the fund to the Government while the company retains a
percentage of it which is not true as they are the people trying to divert
it and not the government as they are making it look like.
After unraveling their plans and professional consideration on my part, I
decided to look for some one credible, with the same last name with my late
client, to apply for this claim due to the fact that I have at my possession
some legal documents which are very important and which might be requested
by them and which can only be provided by my chambers since they have since
being with us. I feel and know that you will be able to make this claim
SUCCESSFULLY because of your rare last name which is the same as that of my
late client's . I want you to be rest assured that this is legal with no
risk involved, since all the legal documents that gives you the right to
make the claim is available.
This is a deal I am offering you and I want you to know that it requires
only a matured mind to understand all I am saying and I believe you are
matured enough which is the reason I am going further. I am taking my time
to explain all these to you now because I want you to see the reasons why
this transaction has to be kept really confidential in order for us to be
able to achieve our goals neatly.NOTE that if they request to know how you
came to know that your family member (Mark) had such an amount of funds with
them and who contacted you, which I am not sure they will ask but in case
they do ask,tell them I contacted you and they can get intouch with me for
confirmation . Be informed that after a second thought,I will get 45% with
45% going to you and 10% will be shared between us for any expenses incurred
during the course of the transaction and at the end of the transaction in
which sharing will take place after taxes have been removed and that should
be done in your country when the funds enters your account. I want you to
know that I have these documents to show to you as proof but I cannot
release them for your perusal now due to security reasons until I have
attained your confidence.
I will provide you with any information you need as we proceed, bearing in
mind that you have finally made up your mind to proceed for I do not want to
jeopardize the success of this transaction which means so much to me at the
moment. My private telephone number is +447951322003,+447924020881 making it
possible for you to call me as it is very important we discuss.
Finally, you will have to accent to an express agreement I shall forward to
you which is to bind us, especially after the transfer hence your urgent
response is required
Regards,
Charles Williams(Esq.)
