Dear FRIEND,
Good day to you and your family. I am writing you this message as regard
of my late client who left the sum of US$14.5million with a bank here in
London, while going through some of this documents left behind I saw your
name and information which stated that you are a relative to Mr. Donald
HAAN.
As a lawyer and a personal attorney to the deceased, I am now asked to provide
the Next-Of-Kin of my late client by the Bank here in London, where his
money and documents of his properties are kept. As a result of this I am
now contacting you to come and claim what belongs to my late client, who
I believe is your relative as stated in the document he left in my care
and bear surname.
However, as the personal attorney and close confidant of my late client,
I know that he did not leave any WILL (because of his sudden death) which
means that this money will therefore be paid into the account of whomever
I present as the Next-of-kin with proofs. Therefore I am seeking for your
consent and assistance to present you as the true beneficiary and next of
kin to my late client.
Your nationality and area of specialization does not matter, as all modalities
have been concluded to present you as the next of kin and consequently,
the beneficiary of the fund. This transaction is 100% risk free and is expected
to take about 14 working days to conclude as soon as you indicate your interest.
N.B: As you know INHERITANCE is not a crime all over the world, but may
be a crime only when you did not follow the Rules of the International Law
of Inheritance. In this transaction we shall follow strictly all the rules
of the International Law of Inheritance and obtain all the necessary transaction
documents from the appropriate authorities to prove that the inheritance/fund
is genuine.
All that is required of you is to act as a relative /next of kin and also
provide a safe bank account for the payment of the money to you. As soon
as payment is effected and the amount mentioned above is successfully transferred
into your account, i will meet with you in your country for the sharing
of the funds, and i have decided that 50% will be retained by you as your
share, while 50% will be for me as the initiator of the deal and i intend
to use my own share in acquiring some estates abroad .
If you are ready to give me your full cooperation and receive this money
into your custody, then confirm your interest by contacting me through the
email account provided above, And I will furnish you with an adequate detail
of how we shall achieve success in this project.
I await your soonest reply,
Best regards.
Barr. JOHN MEYER.
