Subject: For Your Urgent Attention
From the Desk of Hafiz Harun & Zinriszal
Bandar Baru Ampangan,
70400 Seremban, Malaysia. Attention: My name is Barrister Zinriszal Bin Selamat legal practitioner of the above law chambers. A deceased client of mine Mr. Ebel M. Hughes who here in after shall be referred to as my client, died as the result of a heart-related condition in November 2001 after losing his wife and his children in a shipwreck on the sea of Java, Indonesia on 22nd October 2001. Please visit the link below for more news about the ship mishaps. www.maritimematters.com/shipnews2001b.html I am contacting you because I need someone who will stand as the next of kin for my deceased client and I felt that you could help me in the distribution of fund that he left in his bank account unclaimed. This is possible because he died unattested and there is no heir to make the claim. This money is closed to be declared un-serviceable by the finance house as there were no indicated next of kin or beneficiary of the fund in the bank account. The bank had issued to me a notification to contact the next of kin of my deceased client for either to re-activate the bank account or to make claim of beneficiary, of the fund in the bank account, with a month surcharge of 6% to be deducted as an escrow safe keeping fee of the bank account, so as to avoid the indefinite closure of the bank account. 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 bank account would be paid to you as his next of kin or the legitimate beneficiary. When the proceeds in his bank account is granted and transferred into your nominated account, we would share the proceeds on a mutually agreed-upon 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. Off course your reputation and mine is important to me and will be protected as I will not involve myself in anything that will damage my profession. If this business proposal offends your moral and ethical values, with respect to that please do accept my sincere apology. Respectfully,Barrister Zinriszal Bin Selamat
