Dear Friend,
How are you today?, and how are your family?,hope you are all doing fine?,if
so glory be to God. First i must appologise for contacting you through this
medium Internet, I contacted you through e-mail because it is the fastest
way to communicate as this is very urgent and confidential.
I am Barrister Edward Stokes, an attorney at law based here in UK. London, A
deceased client of mine, by name Mr. John Clarkson from your country who
here in after shall be referred to as my client, died as the result of a
heart-related illness but before his death, his entire family was involved
in the last car accident, so this means that after the death of his children
and wife, when he returned from a bussines trip and was told about the
incident, he took ill and developed a heart related illness until he finally
died at the hospital.
I am contacting you to assist in transfering the money left behind by my
client before it is confiscated or declared unserviceable by the BANK where
this deposit valued at $20,000,000.00 million dollars was lodged. This BANK
has issued me a notice to contact the next of kin, or the account will be
confiscated. I have tried all my possible best to locate any of my late
client extended family or relation in his country through their embassy here
in London, but all my efforts was abortive since the embassy was not able to
provide valuable informations to this, again i received another letter from
the BANK which states that i should present to them the next of kin of my
late client, so that they can pay the $20,000, 000.00 to the beneficiary of
the funds or the money will be converted into the their BANK'S tressury and
will be regarded as uncliamed bills,which after then the funds can not be
paid to any body and they also make this clear to me in the letter.
My proposition to you is to seek your consent to present you as the
next-of-kin and beneficiary of my named client, since MY CLIENT DIED WITHOUT
ANY NEXT OF KIN OR CHILDREN, so that the proceeds of this account can be
paid to you AS THE NEXT OF KIN . Then we can share the amount on a mutually
agreed-upon percentage. 50% TO YOU AND 50% TO ME AS PARTNERS.
All legal documents to back up your claim as my client's next-of-kin will be
provided. All I require is your honest co-operation to enable transfer of
the funds into your account over there in your country, and understand that
the late man is a foreigner and since you are also a foreigner, the security
company will transfer to you the funds as the next of kin, and then i will
meet with you in your country to take my share of 50%, i will prepare the
legal backups, and understand that everything will be done legaly and as
soon as the whole funds are transfered to your account in your country, i
will fly in to meet with you for sharing which i have indicated to you
already in this proposal that we will share the money 50% to you and 50% to
me.
This will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you
from any breach of the law of my country or your country and understand that
this transaction will not take your time, it will be complete in estimated
time of 7 working days upon your aceptance and co-operation with this
proposal.
My late client was not from London and in this a Citizen here can not stand
as his next of kin, this is the reason i am contacting you since you are
also not from my country it will be aceptable by the security company to pay
to your account the funds as beneficiary and next of kin to my late client.
If this business proposition offends your moral values, do accept my
apology, but i must indicate that this transaction has nothing to do with
crime or risk , it is completely risk free.
Please contac t me at once to indicate your interest.
send to me your
