Subject: Gretings Richard Selleck.
Attn: Richard Selleck,
This is a personal email directed to you and I request that it should be
treated as such.I am David Kamau,a solicitor at law.
I am the personal attorney/sole executor to the late Mr Mark Selleck, who
died in a car crash with his immediate family on the 5th of Nov 2000.Since
the death of my client in Nov, 2000, 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.Moreso, 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 9.8m GBP.The board of directors of the company
now adopted a resolution and I was mandated to provide his next of kin for
the payment of this money within the next 15 offficial working days or
forfeit the money as an abandoned fund.The company had planned to invoke the
abandoned property decree of 1996 to confiscate the funds after the
expiration of the period given to me but after an investigation in the
finance company,I found out that some members of the company wants to divert
this fund into their private accounts for their own selfish interest and
only want,to use the excuse that since I am not able to look for some one to
make the claim,the money should be made unserviceable and that means
submmitting the fund to the federal government of this country and some to
the company management which is not their main intentions.
By virtue of my closeness to the deceased and his immediate family,I am
very much aware of my client's financial standing.I do sincerely sympartize
the death of my client,but had thought it unprofitable for his funds to be
submited to the federal government of this country and the finance company
where it is lodged.I have reasoned very professionally and I feel it will be
legally proper to present you as the next of kin of my deceased client which
is legally possible and would be done in accordance with the laws of the
land.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,so that the proceeds of this
Bank Account valued at Nine Million Eight Hundred Thousand British Pounds
Sterling only(9.8million ) can be paid to you,before they get confiscated or
declared unserviceable to the bank where this huge deposit is lodged.Note
that this is legal,and 100% risk free since I have all vitial documents that
would be requested by them and that would confer you the legal right to make
this claim.I find this possible for the main reason 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.Therefore, to facilitate the immediate reprofiling of this
fund, you need, first to contact me via my alternative email address
signifying your interest and as soon as I obtain your confidence, I will
immediately intimate you with the complete details as well as fax you the
documents, with which you are to proceed and I shall direct you on how to
put up an application to the bank.
HOWEVER, you will have to assent to an express agreement which I will
forward to you in order to bind us in this transaction.Upon the reciept 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.I guarantee that this will be executed
under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the
law. Please get in touch with me through my alternative email
dkamaulaw@hotmail.co.uk<http://uk.mc232.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=dkamaulaw@hotmail.co.uk>
for better confidentiality and send to me your telephone and fax numbers to
enable us discuss further about this transaction.Like I said, I require only
a solemn confidentiality on this.Please let me have your opinion as soon as
possible for My contact number is +447508854756 and If this proposal is
acceptable by you, do not take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed
in you,I await your urgent response.

Sincererly,
David Kamau
Attorney At Law.
