Subject: Attention:
FALCON CHAMBERS
BARRISTERS & SOLICITORS
12 CAMPSHELL ROAD, LONDON UK.
Attorney: Edward Cole.
Speciality: Wills and Probate,
Property & Residential Conveyancing.
Attention:
I am Edward Cole, a legal practitioner and personal attorney to late
Engineer Johnson Bill, an international contractor in the oil industry
before his untimely demise on the 27th of September 2003 United Kingdom.
Before his death, I assisted him in the deposit of some contract funds
valued at 2.2 Million Pounds Sterling with a bank. The funds have remained
unclaimed since his death and such unclaimed funds are appropriated and
returned to the treasury after 5 years as a matter of banking policy.
Considering the lack of success in my bid to locate any of his relatives for
over 4 years now, I hereby solicit your consent to enable me present you to
the bank as the beneficiary Next of Kin to my deceased client.
I am contacting you for two reasons. Firstly, I strongly believe that the
Bank does not deserve to confiscate the funds and these reasons led to my
resolve to contact you to claim the funds.
Know that this deal is 100% risk free because I have in my possession the
personal file of the deceased which contains some of the information we
shall need to prove your legal relationship with my late client, which means
that the fund will definitely be paid into the account of whoever I present
to the bank as his next of kin. Moreover this is a legal and risk free
transaction that does not in anyway hamper or contravene the monetary laws
of your country because it is an inheritance fund.
All I require from you is your assurance that my share of the funds shall be
held in trust for me when it is released into your account by the bank. Be
rest assured that the fund shall be released to you by the bank upon
presenting all the necessary legal documents that will be used to
substantiate whatever claim we make on your behalf at the bank.
On my receipt of your consenting reply, i shall give you a detailed briefing
on this proceedings.For more informations about me, check on this website:

I await your immediate response,i appeal to your sense of fairness, Reply
Urgently.
Regards,
Edward Cole Esq.
