Subject: I write to seek your co-operation
ATTENTION:
It is with heartfelt hope that I write to seek your co-operation and
assistance in the context stated below, I am Barr. Richard Edward, the
personal Attorney to
the late Mr. Julian Leer. I got your contact through the help of
directories from the American Chambers of Commerce and Tourism , though I
did not
disclose my humble intention for an honest foreigner like you, having noted
the confidence reposed on your person by the sponsor of the recommendation.
My late client was the Chief Executive officer of {Shell Petroluem
Development Company} for 15 years and he was retired on the 30th day of
September
2002. After a month, My client and his entire family died on their way to a
Conference in an Automobile crash on the 13th day of November 2002. Before
his
death my client had a total sum of USD$20,000,000.00(Tweenty Million United
States Dollars) with a Finance House here in europe, hoping of transferring
the
fund to his country {United States of America} after his retirement as soon
as he comes back from the conference.
According to the {DEED OF WILL} made by my late client, He wrote {DEED OF
WILL} that if anything should happen to him, That I should make sure I
locate
any of his family member. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the
relatives for over 3 years now I seek your consent to present you as the
next of kin
of the deceased since your name relate to his name (Leer) my late client
name. I agree to pay you 40% of the fund as the account owner, 60% for me
and
other officials in my Chambers.
Please do provide the following information for the application processing.
1. Your full name:
2. Contact address:
3. Email:
4. Phone number:
5. Age (Date of Birth):
All this information will enable me write an application to the bank on your
behalf. And present you to the bank as the real next of kin to my late
client. All
that is required is your honest cooperation to enable us see this business
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement
which will protect you from any breach of the law.
Julian Leer was a very good man and it is not wise for me to allow his hard
earned wealth to be stolen by the greedy directors of the finance house.
PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU CAN REACH ME DIRECT TO MY PRIVATE E-MAIL AT :
barr.richedward@hotmail.com
Thanks and God bless.
Barr. Richard Edward (ESQ).
