Subject: My proposal to you
Before I proceed, I must first apologize for this unsolicited letter to you. I am aware that this is certainly not a conventional way of approach to establish a relationship of trust, but I do have limited choice. My name is Juan Alfonso a Solicitor working with EJC (Estudio Juridico Castellana) with address: C/Caracas Nº 16-5-33B, Madrid 28010 Spain. Actually, I got your contact address from the internet while searching for a reputable business partner in your country's public records. My Late client, a business mogul who had casinos and restaurants, lived in Spain for many years, my client, his wife and their one child were involved in an underground train crash in the eastern city of Valencia as Victims of the Tuesday, 4 July 2006, Incident that befall the Spanish You can confirm through this website (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/5143738.stm)
Before his death, on my advice as his lawyer he deposited One Trunk Box, containing the sum of $7.3M (Seven Million, Three Hundred Thousand US Dollars) as a family valuable with a security company here in Spain, on a highly security form but he did not disclosed the content of deposited consignment to the Security company, for security reasons. The security company has mandated me to present any family heir/next of kin for claims, before the consignment gets confiscated or reverts to the Bureau of Diplomatic Security, as unclaimed consignment. So I decided to search for any of my late client's relative which has been very difficult for me, as he did not declare any other person, address, partner or relatives in the official paper works of his consignment deposit. He was my private client. I will not like you to involve any third party in this transaction, just me and you .Besides I am doing this on my own personal capacity and do not wish to bring my office into it.
Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to my client, with my position as his lawyer, I will now appoint and recognize you as the heir/next of kin. I will obtain every relevant document from the probate to make your claim legal. Note that this process is not risky in any manner and it is completely legal but might not be justified morally.Once the deposit is released to you, I am proposing 40% of the total sum to you for your involvement.10% would be set aside for any expenses that could be incurred during the transaction. I would retain 50% for myself. Note that when the whole documents are ready, I will direct you on how to approach the security company and make application for the release of the consignment to you.If this proposal does offend your moral values please pardon me otherwise reply via my private email address: aalfonsojuan@aol.com for further clarification. Please be kind to get back to me if you are not interested so that I can further my search for another partner.
Regards
Juan Alfonso (ESQ)
