Dear=A0 Ton De Rooij,
I am Arif Abdul Tahir, an attorney at law. A deceased client of mine who di=
ed on December 2004,
my client, his wife and their three children were involved in the
tsunami disaster on the 26th December 2004 in Sumatra Indonesia.

I
have contacted you to assist in distributing the money left behind by
my Late client before it is confiscated or declared un-serviceable by
the Bank where this deposit=A0 valued at Three Million four=A0 hundred
thousand United State=A0 dollars is lodged, [$US 3.4m]. This Bank has
issued me a notice to contact the next of kin, or the account will be
confiscated.
If you are familiar with private banking
affairs, those who patronize it usually prefer anonymity, but also some
levels of detachment from conventional processes. In his bio-data form,
he listed no next of kin. In another year, if a next of kin is not
located to inherit the fund, the Estate will revert back to the Bank's
accounting system as "unclaimed"; My late client's with no known or
identifiable family member. This leaves me as the only person with the
full picture of what the prevailing situation is in relation to the
deposit.
My proposition to you is to seek your consent to
present you as the next-of-kin and beneficiary of my late client, since
you have the same last name with my late client, so that the proceeds
of this account can be paid to you.=A0 Then we can share the amount on a
mutually agreed-upon percentage. All legal documents to back up your
claim as my client's next-of-kin will be provided. All I require is
your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through. I
guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Please
contact me at once to indicate your interest. I will like you to
acknowledge the receipt of this e-mail as soon as possible via email. I
would love to have your phone contact in order to discuss more on this
transaction. However, this=A0 will be treated private with absolute
confidentiality and sincerity.
I look forward for your urgent=A0 reply
Best regards,
Arif Abdul Tahir Esq.
