ATTN: DEAR FRIEND
BEFORE I START, I MUST FIRST APOLOGIZE FOR THIS UNSOLICITED MESSAGE TO YOU.I AM AWARE THAT THIS IS CERTAINLY AN UNCONVENTIONAL APPROACH TO STARTING A RELATIONSHIP, BUT AS TIME GOES ON YOU WILL REALIZE THE NEED FOR MY ACTION.
MY NAME IS BARRISTER MORGAN IBEH, A SOLICITOR AND THE PERSONAL ATTORNEY TO (MR. RICHARD FURTMAN) A CITIZEN OF YOUR COUNTRY, WHO OWNES A CONSTRUCTION COMPANY HERE IN UNITED KINGDOM, HERE-IN-AFTER REFERRED TO AS MY CLIENT. MY CLIENT, HIS WIFE AND THEIR TWO CHILDREN WERE INVOLVED IN THE TSUNAMI DISASTER INCIDENT IN INDONESIA. MY CLIENT AND HIS ENTIRE FAMILY UNFORTUNATELY LOST THEIR LIVES IN THE DISASTER.
SINCE THEN I HAVE MADE SEVERAL ENQUIRIES TO YOUR EMBASSY TO LOCATE ANY OF MY CLIENT'S EXTENDED RELATIVES, WHICH HAS PROVED ABORTIVE AFTER THESE SEVERAL UNSUCESSFUL ATTEMPTS. MY MAIN REASON FOR CONTACTING YOU IS TO ASSIST ME INREPATRIATING THE MONEY AND PROPERTY LEFT BEHIND BY MY CLIENT BEFORE THEY ARE CONFISCATED OR DECLARED UNSERVICEABLE BY THE BANK WHERE THEY ARE DEPOSITED/LODGED,PARTICULARLY,THE HSBC BANK OF UNITED KINGDOM. WHERE THE DECEASED HAS A FIXED SUM OF NINE MILLION POUNDS STERLING. THE SAID BANK HAS ISSUED ME A FINAL NOTICE TO PROVIDE THE NEXT OF KIN OF MY CLIENT OR THEY WILL BE LEFT WITH NO OTHER CHOICE THAN TO CONFISCATE HIS FUNDS, A COPY OF THE SAID NOTICE I WILL FAX TO YOU ON GETTING YOUR REPLY.
SINCE I HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL IN LOCATING MY CLIENT'S RELATIVES SINCE LAST YEAR NOW I SEEK YOUR CONSENT TO PRESENT YOU AS THE NEXT OF KIN OF MY CLIENT. SO THAT THE SAID FUNDS AS STATED ABOVE, I.E, THE SUM OF NINE MILLION POUNDS STERLING CAN BE PAID TO YOU INSTEAD OF LEAVING FOR HSBC BANK OF UNITED KINGDOM. WE CAN TAKE PART OF IT AND LEAVE THE REST TO CHARITY.
I HAVE ALL 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 ARRANGMENT THROUGH I GUARANTEE THAT THIS WILL BE EXECUTED UNDER A LEGITIMATE ARRANGEMENT THAT WILL PROTECT YOU FROM ANY BREACH OF THE LAW.
