Subject: REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE
Attention Dear Friend,
I am a lawyer. I am the personal attorney to Late Mr. Gilbert Brown, a National of your Country, The late Gilbert Brown until his death he was a former Managing Director and pioneer staff of a big construction company in Lndon and later invested in poultry farm and rice. He established himself as a wealthy farmer in Asia where he exported rice and other poultry produce. He was a very dedicated man and a great philantropist during his life time.
He involved himself in helping people by giving investable loans inagriculture and other ventures. Late Gilbert Brown died on 9th December 2005 at the age of 78. He has since been buried on the 23rd of December 2005. He was an American, lived in London all through his active years.
He was married but without a child and lost his wife in 1986 due to breast cancer. He said in his words as stated in his last testament that "it is my desired wish to see that the poor and less privileged are given assistance by any means and limit this token could go, especially in Asia, Africa and South America having seen it all myself".He therefore advised that this amount be "invested and then part of the proceeds be used in the work of humanity.
I am contacting you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposit were lodged. Particularly, the bank where the deceased had an account valued above US$10,000,000.00 has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated and the funds returned to the government.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over two years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued above US$10,000,000.00 can be paid to you and then you and I will share half of the fund and invest half of the fund to any organisation to help the lessprivilege.
I have all the necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law, and send me your telephone and fax numbers to enable us discuss further about this transaction.
I await your urgent response and positive attention in this circumstance.
Best regards,Michael Perez, LLB, LLM, BL,SANAttorney at Law.
