My dear,
I am sorry to bother you but I decided to contact you because I got your profile from my search and the personality search about you confirmed that you are a very trustworthy and reliable person and so I decided to contact you for this important and urgent business.
I used to be a personal attorney to Late Mr. Mark Bender, a foreigner who used to work with an Shell Oil company here in London.
Before his death few years ago, my client and his entire family of four were resident in this country before the ill-fated day that they met their death as a result of a bomb explosion in London while travelling with the family On the 7th July, 2005.My client before his death deposited with one of the banks here the sum of $17 Million and other personal effects for safe keeping, with the hope of transferring it to his country as soon as he is free to do so.Unfortunately this was not to be as a result of his sudden death.
After his death, all efforts to locate any of his extended relatives was unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to contact you SINCE YOU ARE ALSO A FOREIGNER SO THAT WE CAN HANDLE THIS DEAL TOGETHER because I needed a very trustworthy and reliable person, who will not sit on this money when received.I have contacted you to assist in reclaiming the money and property left behind by my client before they get it confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank as the BANK has issued me the last notice to provide the next of kin or have the MONEY confiscated.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives, I seek your consent to present you to the bank as his next of kin/heir so that this deposit of ($17 Million Dollars) will be paid to you and then you and me can share the money in a 50:50 ratio. Please you are free to give your own opinion on this sharing modality if you so wish.All I require is your honest co-operation and effort in seeing this deal through. I guarantee that this deal will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you and I from any breach of the law.
Please get in touch with me through the above email address and as I receive your mail, I will also give you my telephone number and the full detail plan of this business.
Best regards,
Barr. David Jones
ON BEHALF OF MARK BENDER
