Attention,Sir
Compliments of the season. Before I start, I must first apologize for this
unsolicited mail to you. I am aware that this is certainly an unconventional
approach to starting a relationship such as this, but as time goes on you
will realize the need for my action.
My name is Jones Howells, a solicitor and the personal Attorney to Mr.
Moreles, a citizen of your country and concidentally share the same surname
with you, He worked with an oil company in Isle of Man. On the 19th of April
2006, my client, his wife and their three children were involved in a boat
mishap while on a cruise in the Delta Escravos. My client and his entire
family unfortunately lost their lives in the accident.
Since then I have made several enquiries to your Embassy to locate any of my
client's extended relatives, which has proved abortive after these several
unsuccessful attempts, the need to contact you. My main reason for
contacting you is to assist me in repatriating the money and property left
behind by my client before they are confiscated or declared unserviceable by
the bank where his total is deposited.
Particularly, the Bank. Where the deceased has a fixed sum of Five Million,
Eight Hundred & Fifty Thousand Pounds Sterlings. The said bank has
issued me a final notice to provide the next of kin of my client or they
will be left with no other choice than to confiscate his funds.
Since then I have been unsuccessful in locating my client's relatives for
the past 2 years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kinof
my client, so that the said funds as stated above I.E, can be paid to you
instead of leaving for Bank. We can leave the properties part to Charity
organization which I will see they are given.
I have all necessary legal documents that will be used to back up any Claim
we may make. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this
project through. I assure you that this will be executed under a legitimate
and legal process that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Please give me your confidential phone numbers and full details for easy
communication.
Best Regards,
Jones Howells
