Subject: (PRIVATE MAIL) WAITING FOR YOUR REPLY
Good day,
On behalf of the trustees and executor of the estate of Late Engr. Jorgen Kruger I once again try to notify you as my earlier letter was returned undelivered. I hereby attempt to reach you again by this same email address on the WILL. I wish to notify you that late Jorgen Kruger made you a beneficiary in his WILL. He left the sum of Thirty Million, One Hundred Thousand Dollars (USD $30, 100,000.00) to you in the Codicil and last testament to his WILL. This may sound strange and unbelievable to you, but it is real and true. Being a widely traveled man, he said he met you sometime in the past or simply you were nominated to him by one of his numerous friends abroad who must have wished you good (I am not too sure).
Jorgen Kruger until his death was a member of the Helicopter Society and the Institute of Electronic & Electrical Engineers and a German property magnate. He was a very dedicated Christian who loved to give out alms to the poor, hungry and needy. His great philanthropy earned him numerous awards during his lifetime. Late Jorgen Kruger died on the 13th day of December 2004 at the age of 80. His WILL is now ready for execution after 4 years of thorough investigation.
According to him, this money is to support your humanitarian/medical activities and to help the poor and the needy in our society. Please if I reach you as I am hopeful, Endeavor to get back to me as soon as possible to enable me conclude my job. I hope to hear from you in no distant time. I am sincerely sorry if you feel bothered or embarrassed by this message.
Note: You are advised to contact me with my personal email address below:
Email: albert.smithchambers@yahoo.com.hk
I await your prompt response and please keep this very discrete and confidential to yourself until the transfer of the funds to you is finalized
Yours in Service, Albert Smith Esq. Principal Partner.
