Subject: Attn; Sir/madam
Attention;
Dear Sir/Madam,
Hope you are doing great and sound? I am Barrister Brian Adams . Barrister at law and attorney to Goethem Sosa, a Greek Merchant other wise known as my client who was based in the United Kingdom and died of complications from injuries sustained after a ghastly motor accident.
As the attorney to Sir Goethem Sosa I was too close to him,that he shared with me virtually everything about himself,his business and family.I was his attorney for 15 years and during that period I wrote his WILL and was also named as the executor, which has since been fulfilled. I am also aware due to my closeness to him that the amount of 22 Million Euros he deposited with a bank in Europe was not willed out.
He told me about this on his sick bed and even instructed that I should prepare a codicil to that effect, however before I could finish my work he had died.
After his death, funeral and subsequent execution of his WILL, I went into action to ascertain the information passed unto me by my client. My investigation conformed to the information at that point, I knew I had to do something to move the funds out of the bank and knowing that I cannot do this alone I have decided to contact you and seek your assistance and acceptance to be the next of kin to the Decease Estate since you are a foreigner,and I also have the power of litigation to back up every claims.
It is necessary for us to move the money out of the bank now because if we do not do this within the next 10 days. The bank would regard the money as sundry funds, which becomes as good as their own money.
I cannot move the money in my name because he was my client, for it could arouse suspicion thus the importance of your assistance. Have my assurance that there is nothing to fear about. I also need your assurance that you would work with me without fear, rather favour to achieve our desired objective.
The legal back up is no problem for I would be responsible. Since the codicil was not ready before his death, Letters of Administration without Will, would be secured from the probate office, with this document granting probate rights in your favour I would personally apply on your behalf to the bank for the release of the funds to you.
I require your prompt co-operation to enable us transfer the funds to your account within the next Ten {10} working days.
To enable us proceed with the claim, i will need your following details immediately;
{1} Your Official full Names
{2} Address / Date of Birth
{3} Telephone and Fax numbers
Upon receipt of a confirmation of acceptance from you, a sharing ratio would be worked out between us on the most liberal and magnanimous terms.Take care and have a nice day.
Sincerely,
Barrister Brian Adams.
