George L. Savvides & Co,Omega Court,1st,2nd and 4th Floors,4 Rigas Fereos Street,Limassol 3720.Tel:+44 790-278-0943 Dear Gerda Dekker,This is a personal email directed to you and I request that it be treated as such. I must solicit your confidentiality and assure you that I am contacting you in good faith and this proposal will be of mutual benefit. I am George Savvides, a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney/sole executor to the late Mr Randolf Dekker hereinafter referred to as 'my client' who worked as an independent oil magnate in my country and who died in a car crash with his immediate family on the 4th of oct, 2002I have written several letters to the embassy with an intent to locate any of his extended relatives whom shall be claimants/beneficiaries of his abandoned personal estate and all such efforts have been to no avail.Moreso, I have received official letters in the last few weeks suggesting a likely proceeding for confiscation of his abandoned personal assets in line with existing laws by the bank in which my client deposited the sum of 3.8 million Pounds.On this note I decided to search for a credible person and finding that you bear a similar last name, I decided to contact you that I may, with your consent, present you to the "trustee" bank as my late client's surviving family member so as to enable you put up a claim to the bank in that capacity as a next of kin of my client. I find this possible for the fuller reasons that you bear a similar last name with my client making it alot easier for you to put up a claim in that capacity.I propose that 60% of the net sum will accrue to you at the conclusion of this deal in so far as I do not incure further expenses.Therefore, to facilitate a possible joint venture in this regard, you need, first to contact me via email, signifying your interest and as soon as I obtain your confidence, I will immediately appraise you with the complete details as well as fax you the documents,with which you are to proceed and i shall direct on how to put up an application to the bank. Upon the reciept of your reply, I will send you by fax or E-mail the next step to take.I will not fail to bring to your notice that this proposal is hitch-free and that you should not entertain any fears as the required arrangements have been made for the completion of this transfer. Like I implied, I require only a solemn confidentiality on this.contact me on my personal email address.Thank you. George Savvides.EXPECTING YOUR APPROVAL
