Subject: YOUR URGENT PROPOSAL:.
Attention: My name is Barrister Vincent Wong. I am a legal practitioner based in Kuala Lumpur , Malaysia . I saw your contact and profile I decided that you could co-operate with me in this proposition. I have a client who died as the result of a heart-related condition in November 2004. His heart condition was due to the death of all the members of his family in the Gulf Air Flight Crashes in Persian Gulf Near Bahrain Aired August 23, 2000 - 2:50 p.m. ET asreportedon: http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0008/23/bn.10.html in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I am contacting you because you have the same surname as my deceased client and I felt that you could help me in the distribution of funding that were left in my deceased client's safe deposit. This safe deposit is to be declared UN-serviceable by the security and financial firm as there have been no indicated next of kin or next of beneficiary of the deposit. The total amount of cash in the safe deposit of my deceased client is US$4.7 Million (Say, Four Million, Seven Hundred Thousand US$), only. He confided this in me when he was alife. The security and finance firm has issued to me a notification to contact the next of kin of my deceased client to either make claim as beneficiary of the safe deposit, or to re-activate the period of deposit with a monthly surcharge of 6% to be deducted as an Escrow safe keeping fee of the deposit. My proposition to you is to seek your consent, and to present your kind self as the next-of-kin and beneficiary of my deceased client, since you have the same last name with him. This means that the proceeds of his safe deposit would be paid to you as his next of kin or the legitimate beneficiary. When we have the safe deposit by ourselves, I propose a sharing percentage of 60% to me and 40% to your kind self. All the legal documents to back up your claim as my client's next-of-kin would be provided by me. The most important thing I would need is your honest cooperation to in this proposition. This would be done under a legitimate arrangement that would protect you from any breach of the law. If this business proposition offends your moral values, do accept my apology. Please contact me at once to indicate your interest. Best regards,Barr. Vincent Wong. Senior Advocate/Solicitor.
