Subject: ATTN:Hoekstra
ATTN:Hoekstra I am Barr. Trusten Davidson, the personal attorney to Dr. Timothy Hoekstra, a national of your country who passed away on the 24th of February 2005. My client, his wife and their only daughter were involved in a car accident along Rabat - Fes expressway (fes the Historical City) while on vacation. Since their tragic death, I have made several enquires to locate any of their relatives to come forward and claim his inheritance which is valued at about $6.2m USD deposited in the bank and property valued at between $1.5m to $2m USD. Unfortunately, all my efforts in this direction have been fruitless. The bank recently served a notice that my deceased client's account will be confiscated and diverted to other purposes if nobody comes up to stand as his next of kin due to dormancy. Hence, I intensified my effort and through the web directories got your details and contacted you I will therefore be glad if you can stand as the next of kin of my deceased client since both of you share the same lastname /surname so that the bank can release the fund to you. The fund will be shared in the ratio of 50% to you and 45% to me while the remaining 5% should be for expenses and tax as your Government may require. I wish to assure you that this transaction will follow all legal procedures that will protect you from any breach of the law and by this you have nothing to fear whatsoever. I look forward to reading from you so that we can decide on how to proceed. Thank you for your kind co-operation Trusten Davidson (Esq) YOU CAN ALSO REACH ME THROUGH MY PRIVATE EMAIL ADDRESS(trustendavidsonchambers@yahoo.co.uk) Kindly furnish me with the following information in order to expedite the process;1. Your full name as stated in your international passport.2. Your residence address, age and occupation.3. Your Cell phone and Fax numbers for easier communication
