FALCON CHAMBERS
BARRISTERS & SOLICITORS
12 CAMPSHELL ROAD, LONDON UK.
Attorney: Donarld Pedrol.
Speciality: Wills and Probate,
Property & Residential Conveyancing.
Attention: Sir/ Madam.
How is everything going, I hope great? Though I have not considered this
medium to be the best manner to have approached you on this issue being that
the internet has been greatly abused over the recent years and is very
unsecured for informations of vital importance. I have decided to take the
chance seeing that no other means could have been faster and more efficient
than the E-mail. I write to you irrespective of the fact you do not know me,
but please do consider this letter as a request from a brother in desire need of
assistance.
I am Donarld Pedrol, a legal practitioner and personal attorney to late Engineer
Mike Walter Wren, an international contractor in the oil industry before his
untimely demise on the 27th of September 2001 United Kingdom.
Before his death, I assisted him in the deposit of some contract funds valued
at 17 Million Pounds Sterling with a bank. The funds have remained
unclaimed since his death and such unclaimed funds are appropriated and
returned to the treasury after 5 years as a matter of banking policy.
Considering the lack of success in my bid to locate any of his relatives for
over 6 years now, I hereby solicit your consent to enable me present you to
the bank as the beneficiary Next of Kin to my deceased client.
I am contacting you for two reasons. Firstly, you both share the same origin
and last name, which makes the claim logical and credible.
Secondly, I strongly believe that the Bank does not deserve to confiscate the
funds and these reasons led to my resolve to contact you to claim the funds.
Know that this deal is 100% risk free because I have in my possession the
personal file of the deceased which contains some of the information we
shall need to prove your legal relationship with my late client, which means
that the fund will definitely be paid into the account of whoever I present
to the bank as his next of kin. Moreover this is a legal and risk free
transaction that does not in anyway hamper or contravene the monetary laws of
your country because it is an inheritance fund.
All I require from you is your assurance that my share of the funds shall be
held in trust for me when it is released into your account by the bank.
Be rest assured that the fund shall be released to you by the bank upon
presenting all the necessary legal documents that will be used to substantiate
whatever claim we make on your behalf at the bank.
On my receipt of your consenting reply, i shall give you a detailed briefing
on this proceedings.
I await your immediate response,i appeal to your sense of fairness.
Reply Urgently.
Regards,
Barrister Donarld Pedrol.
