Dear Sir,
This is a proposal in context but actually an appeal soliciting your unreserved assistance in consummating an urgent transaction requiring maximum confidence. Though this approach appears desperate, I can assure you that whatever questions you would need to ask or any other thing you will need to know regarding this proposal will be adequately answered to give you a clearer understanding of it, so as to arrive at a successful conclusion.
I am Mr.Alfred Johnson, solicitor and personal attorney to Mrs. Celina Frampton, who worked with Shell Petroleum Development Company here in U.K, here in after referred to as my client. My late client died in a fatal accident with her husband and only son who were the only beneficiaries to her estates on the 8th day of February 2004.Until her death she was consultant to several oil and gas industries. She had a so journ in the United States and so many other countries before she came to Cairn Energy PLC oil and gas exploration and Production Company based in the United Kingdom and Australia.
She belonged to several non-governmental and scientific organizations. She was also a great philanthropist and a Paul Harris Fellow of the Rotary Club International. Since then, i have made several enquiries to locate any of my client's extended relatives which have also proved abortive. Hence, after these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to contact you believing that by grace of God you will help me to recover her money and other property which I have all the related document to back-up the claim.I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the finance firm in Europe where this huge deposit was lodged. The finance firm, where the deceased had an account valued at about £68.3 million British pounds has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next twenty one official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over two months now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at 68.3 million British pounds can be paid to you and then we both can share the money,60% to me and 40% to you. 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 seeing this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. I am very grateful and You can contact me on my private email :(alfredjohnson000@msn.com)
Send me the following information for documentation purpose:
(1)Full names:............................... (2) Private phone numbers:............ (3) Current residential address:....... (4)Occupation:.............................. (5)Age and Sex:............................. {6} Your Full Banking Coordinates...........
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thankful for your attention to my email. My regards to you.
