Subject: Goodday
Alexander JLO,
11 Lanark Square,
Glengall Bridge London
E149 RE
United Kingdom.
Good day,
This is a personal E-mail directed to you and I request that it be treated as such.
I am Barrister William Punshon, a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney/sole executor to the late Mr. Gerald Shudnow, hereinafter referred to as 'my client' who worked as an independent oil magnate in my country and who died in a plane crash with his immediate family in December, 2003. Since the death of my client, I have written several letters to the embassy with an intent to locate any of his extended relatives whom shall be claimants/beneficiaries of his abandoned personal estate and all such efforts have been to no avail.
More-so,I have received official letters in the last few weeks suggesting a likely proceeding for confiscation of his abandoned personal assets in line with existing laws by the bank in which my client deposited a notably high amount of money.On this note i decided to search for a credible person. I have gotten your contact details with assistance of an insider with the office of the Chambers Of Commerce here in the U.K, and I was urged to contact you that I may with your consent present you to the "trustee bank" as my late client's surviving family member so as to enable you put up a claim to the bank in that capacity as a next of kin of my client.
I find this possible for the fuller reasons that you are resident abroad, considering how long we have been on this, and also for the fact that I and I alone as the executor of my late client will be contacted to verify your credibility as a next of kin of my late client, making it a lot easier for you to put up a claim in that capacity.I propose that 35% of the net sum will accrue to you at the conclusion of this deal in so far as I do not incur further expenses.
Therefore, to facilitate the transfer of this funds, you need, first to contact me via my private email: willaimpunshon@live.com for better confidentiality, signifying your interest and as soon as I obtain your confidence I will immediately appraise you with the complete details as well as fax you the documents, with which you are to proceed and i shall direct on how to put up an application to the bank.
HOWEVER, you will have to accent to an express agreement which I will forward to you in order to bind us in this transaction.Upon the receipt of your reply,I will send you by fax or E-mail the next step to take.I will not fail to bring to your notice that this proposal is hitch-free and that you should not entertain any fears as the required arrangements have been made for the completion of this transfer.
Like I said, I require only a solemn confidentiality on this.
Best regards,
William Punshon Esq.
