Subject: Your urgent response sir.
FROM THE DESK OF BARR.JOHN LUTER.
NO 20 BROAD STREET,
MANCHESTER CITY
LONDON U.K.
Dear Sir,
I am Barrister John Luter. Solicitor, Personal Attorney to one
foreigner (Mr.Aellen Pierre- Andre), who was a GOLD merchant
and real estate realtor in SOUTH AFRICA and LONDON and SWITZERLAND.
On the 9th of febuary 1998, my client, his wife and their two children
were involved in the 9th of february 1998 FLIGHT 111-PLANE CRASH-NOVA SCOTIA, heading from switzerland to New york.Unfortunately they all lost their lives
in the event of the plane crash,since then I have made several enquiries to
locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved
unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his
relatives over the Internet, to locate any member of His family but of no
avail,hence I contacted you.
I contacted you to assist me in recovering the money left behind by my
client before they get Confiscated or declared unserviceable by the
Finance Company where this huge deposits were lodged. Particularly, the
Security company in SOUTH AFRICA where the deceased had a consignment box containing deposit valued at US$4.2 million dollars(FOUR MILLION,TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS) consequently,the Security company issued me a notice to provide the Next Of Kin or have his deposit with them confiscated within the next twenty four official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 8 years now, I sincerely seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since
you are a foreigner like him so that the proceeds of this deposit valued
at US$10.5Million dollars can be paid to you and then you and I can share
the money accordingly. 40% for you and 50% for me while the remaining 10%
shall be set aside for any expenses that we might incur in the course of
this transaction.
We will procure all necessary legal documents that can be used to back
up the claim. All I require from you, is your honesty and full
co-operation to enable us see this transaction through. 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 with me by my email to
enable us discuss further and also security reasons.
Best Regards
Barrister John Luter Esq.
