Subject: RE:
Dear Friend,
Please Oblige me some of your time and reflect on this message/proposal. Before I proceed, I consider it quite pertinent for you
to have an insight of my person, therefore you can address me as William Townsend, I work as a private financial
consultant/Account portfolio manager. I Happen to have managed a particular account for a Resident Foreigner, here in the
United Kingdom, who accidentally died Intestate, leaving in our care a reasonable amount in a Domicialliary United States
Dollars Account. The Highly confidential nature of our client and our Business Confidential disposition on Client to client
Basis, did not warrant us to have an easily identifiable next of Kin to this particular Client. I have made several sincere
enquiries to locate any of my clients relatives immediate and extended, this has proved unsuccessful. Hence, my reaching out
for an understanding and like minded individual to work with in ensuring that we have a proper discussion and understanding
towards securing the money and property left behind by my client before it becomes statute barred under the United Kingdom
Financial /Property administration laws.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating any of his relatives for over two years and convinced that no one is coming up and
having satisfied the mandatory legalrequirement of Beneficiary/next of kin Notification, I now seek a Reliable and
Trustworthy person. With your consent and perfect understanding, to present you as the next of kin of the deceased so that
the proceeds of this account, initially valued at Twenty One Million, Three Hundred And Twenty Thousand United States Dollars,
and interest not inclusive, can be paid into an account to be provided by you( prefereably outside the United Kingdom
Financial Institutions or its Isles), as the perceived Next Of Kin Legally and Otherwise.
All I require is your honest cooperation and confidence in me; which I know would not come easy. I guarantee that this will
be executed under a legitimate background that will protect you from any breach of the law. I would advise that you give this
positive consideration and get back to me soon. I'll be flexible and considerate in the percentage share that will be given
to you for your assistance. Upon receipt of your response I'll send to you my private number so that you can reach me for
further discussion.
Cordially
Bill.
