From: "tom hickman white" <barrtomwhite22@gmail.com>
Date: Thu, 19 Jun 2008 06:23:42 -0700
Subject: Good Day,
Good Day,
This is a personal official email directed to you and I
request that it be treated as such. I am Barrister Tom H.White
a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney/sole executor
to My late Client (Name Withheld ), hereinafter referred to
as my client' who worked as an independent oil magnate in my
country and who died in a car crash with his immediate family
on the 4th of Oct,1998.
Since the death of my client in Oct,1998, I have written several
letters to the embassy with an intent to locate any of his extended
relatives whom shall be claimants/beneficiaries of his abandoned
personal estate and all such efforts have been to no avail.
More so,I have received official letters in the last few weeks
suggesting a likely proceeding for confiscation of his abandoned
personal assets in line with existing laws by the bank in which
my client deposited the sum of 13.8 million U.S.D
On this note i decided to search for a credible person and finding
that you bear a similar last name,I was urged to contact you, that
I may,with your consent,present you to the "trustee" bank as my late
client's surviving family member so as to enable you put up a claim
to the bank in that capacity as a next of kin of my client.
I find this possible for the fuller reasons that you bear a similar
last name with my client making it a lot easier for you to put up a
claim in that capacity. I propose that 45% of the net sum will accrue
to you at the conclusion of this deal in so far as I do not incur
further expenses.
Therefore, to facilitate the immediate transfer of this fund, you need,
first to contact me via email signifying your interest and as soon as I
obtain your confidence,I will immediately appraise you with the complete
details as well as fax you the documents,with which you are to proceed
and i shall direct on how to put up an application to the bank.
Upon the receipt of your reply,I will send you by fax or E-mail the next
step to take. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this proposal
is hitch-free and that you should not entertain any fears as the required
arrangements have been made for the completion of this transfer. Like I
said,
I require only a solemn confidentiality on this. Send me your Full Names and
address and phone number on your next respond
Best regards,
Tom H.White QC (Hon.)
