Subject: PLEASE GET BACK TO ME INHERITTANCE
Attention: Mr/Mrs.
I am JOSHUA WILLIAMS, a legal practitioner and
personal attorney to late Engineer M.N Sulak an
international contractor in the oil industry before
his untimely demise on the 27th of September 2007
United Kingdom.
Before his death, I assisted him in the deposit of
some contract funds valued at $12 million with a bank.
The funds have remained unclaimed since his death and
such unclaimed funds are appropriated and returned
tothe treasury after 4 years as a matter of banking
policy. Considering the lack of success in my bid to
locate any of his relatives for over 3 years now, I
here by solicit your consent to enable me present you
to the bank as the beneficiary Next of Kin to my
deceased client.
I am contacting you for two reasons because I strongly
believe that the Bank does not deserve to confiscate
the funds and these reasons led to my resolve to
contact you to claim the funds.
Know that this deal is 100% risk free because I have
in my possession the personal file of the deceased
which contains some of the information we shall need
to prove your legal relationship with my late client,
which means that the fund will definitely be paid into
the account of whoever I present to the bank as his
next of kin. Moreover this is a legal and risk free
transaction that does not in anyway hamper or
contravene the monetary laws of your country because
it is an inheritance fund.
All I require from you is your assurance that my share
of the funds shall be held in trust for me when it is
released into your account by he bank. Be rest assured
that the fund shall be released to you by the bank
upon presenting all the necessary legal documents that
will be used to substantiate whatever claim we make on
your behalf at the bank.
On my receipt of your consenting reply, i shall give
you a detailed briefing on this proceedings.
I await your immediate response,i appeal to your sense
of fairness,
Reply Urgently.
Regards,
JOSHUA WILLIAMS Esq.
