Subject: URGENT RESPONSE NEEDED***STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL PLEASE
I am really very sorry to balge into your privacy in this form.However I seek your pardon for that, since this is the best way I feel I can reach you. I am Barrister Leo Chung, a Japanese, the Personal attorney to one deceased immigrant from your country, who was based in London, also referred to as my client.
On the 12th of July 2003, my client, his wife and their only Child died in the train bomb blast along Edgware road Uk. Some of his properties, was put out for sale which I monitored the payment as his attorney, has been bought and paid for.Now the money paid was deposited into his Local account here in London.
I am contacting you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by my late client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by his bank. This is because all effort I made since three years ago to get any of his relation to stand as a next of kin was not successful. However, in my process of thinking of what to do in other to make sure his account worth 10 Million Dollars does not get confiscated by his bank, I found on people search in the internet that their is exact similarity between his LAST NAME and your surname name. I then decided to contact you to stand as the next of KIN to my late client, though I believe you are not related to him, but for the fact that you have a similar name with my late client, this proposal can be carried out succesfully with your kind assistance.
The bank has issued me a notice to provide any of his next of kin or have the account confiscated within 14 offical working days. And since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives, I now seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to my late client, so that the proceeds of this account valued at 10 Million Dollars can be paid to you and then you and I can share the money. 50% to me and 40% for you and 10% for miscellaneous expenses that might arise during the course of this transaction. I have all the necessary information/documents that can be used to back up this claim.
If my request is granted please get back to me on my private email:leochung_101@yahoo.com.hk.
Once again, I would appreciate if you get back to me on my private email because of the confidentiality of this proposal.
RegardsBarr Leo Chung
