My dear beloved friend,
Firstly, I must solicit your confidence in this transaction; this is by virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and top secret. Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day.
Let me start by introducing myself properly to you. It may surprise you receiving this mail from me, since there was no previous correspondence between us. My name is Barrister Thomas Nicholas Esq. a personal Attorney to Late Mr, Johnson .
He died along side with his immediate family during the Tsunami Catastrophe which occurred in December 2004, since then all my several enquiries here to locate any of my clients extended family relations has proved unsuccessful.
Thus I decided to search with his name through the public records; to locate any member of his extended family hence I saw your name and decided to contact you. I know you may not be biologically related to him but since you both bear the same name, I decided to contact you to enable us retrieve this deposit from the security company where it is deposited.
Before the catastrophe that claimed his life, he deposited One Trunk box/Diplomatic Personal Treasure containing $13.500.000.00(thirteen Million, Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars Only) with a Safe keeping /finance company. And due to security and personal reasons, the exact content of the deposited diplomatic box was not disclosed.
The said Safe Keeping / finance company has mandated me to present a member of his family (heir/inheritor) to make claim or the deposit will be confiscated and taken to the bureau of Diplomatic Security as unclaimed. With regards to this, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased so that the diplomatic consignment would be released to you and the content disbursed between us on the ratio of 40% for you, 50% for me and 10% for the compensation of all the logistics expenses.
All I require of you is your honest co-operation to enable us see this transaction through. I guarantee that this transaction would be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. You can get across to me via Email for further clarification. Do get back to me as well even when you are not willing to collaborate with me so as to further my search for another partner.
Kindest Regards
Barrister Thomas Nicholas Esq
