Subject: Good day Goodnow
FROM THE DESK OF,
BARRISTER PETER COLE,
COLE & ASSOCIATES (SOLICITORS -AT -LAW)
LONDON -ENGLAND.
Good day Goodnow.
I am sorry for contacting you through this medium without a previous
notice,I had to use the E-mail because it is an easier and more
confidential way of making contact with people around the world.My name is
Barrister
Peter Cole,a Forty Five (45) year old Attorney in practice here in
London-England.I had a client by name Mr.Victor Goodnow, a businessman
based here in London , now deceased.My client lost his life on the 27th of
October 2005 along with his wife and their three children in an auto crash
along the Blackwall tunnel , London, England, United Kingdom.
Prior to the Death of my Late Client he made a fixed deposit of
US$8,750,000.00 Million in a bank / security company in London,England.
As his personal Attorney before his death,I have been
officially notified and instructed by the bank here in U.K where the
money is currently deposited that I should provide and forward the
particulars of Mr.Victor Goodnow's next of kin so that the Funds in his
Account can be
remitted into his Next of Kin's Account in accordance with British
Inheritance laws.
However, as the personal attorney and close confidant of late Mr.Victor
Goodnow,I want you to know that My late Client died intestate,i.e,He died
without leaving a Will.Hence,all my efforts to locate any of his relative
whom
I can present to the Bank has proved abortive.
Therefore I am seeking for your consent to present you as the deceased
relative/next of kin since you have the same last name with him and
subsequently the beneficiary of the fund so that the proceed of this
account valued at US$8,750,000.00 Million can be paid to you for subsequent
disbursement between you and I . 60% for me ,40% for you .
If you can cooperate with me and receive this funds as next of kin to
Mr.Victor Goodnow,confirm your interest by contacting me through my E-mail.
I can assure you that the deal is 100% risk free because i am in
possesion of the deceased personal file which contains all information which
I
shall use to prove your relationship with the deceased therefore the money
will be paid into the account of whomever I present as Mr.Victor Goodnow's
Next
of kin with proofs that I will present to the bank when needed.
When I receive a positive response and after proper discussion
with you,I will furnish you all relevant information that will facilitate
the
release of the Funds to you. An Application will have to be filed to the
Bank
for processing of the release of the Funds into your nominated Bank
account.
I wait to hear from you.
Barr. Peter Cole
