Subject: Hello
Adams Powell.
Email: adamspowell@personal.ro
I write you in good faith, hoping that you will treat
this letter as a desperate search for assistance in a
matter that shall benefit both of us. A random search
based on your locality from the Internet produced your
name and address and that of two others in your
country.
I am Adams Powell an Attorney to a deceased Immigrant
property magnate who was based in the U.K., also
referred to as my client.
On the 25th of July 2000, my client, his wife and
their two Children died in the Air France concord
plane crash bound for New York in their plan for a
world cruise,
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm
Since then I have been managing his properties here in
the U.K. and some others which he put out for sale.
The properties which have long been put out on sale
have now been paid for and now the money paid has long
been deposited into his local bank account. I am
contacting you to assist in repatriating the money
and estate left behind by my client before they get
confiscated or declared unserviceable by his bank.
Particularly, the bank has issued me with a notice to
provide any of his next of kin or have the account
confiscated within a short period of time. My late
client has an account valued at 30 Million United
States Dollars Only. Since I have been unsuccessful in
locating any of my clients relatives for some time now
and with no one coming forward since my clients
passing on, and with the bank now giving me a
deadline, I now seek your consent to present you as
the next of kin to my deceased client, so that the
proceeds of his account valued at 30 Million United
States Dollars Only can be paid to you. This I intend
we share amongst ourselves in the ratio of 50% to me
and 40% for you while the balance 10% we shall use for
settling any miscellaneous expenses that might arise.
I have all the necessary information that can be used
to back up any Claim that we may make and I can assure
you that you shall be paid this amount as the next of
kin to my late client.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us
see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be
executed under a legitimate arrangement that will
protect you from any breach of the law. Trust me as
his attorney that this is a risk-free relationship.
Please get in touch with me via the email address above
and send me your full names and address, telephone and
fax numbers to enable us discuss further about this
transaction.
Best regards,
Adams Powell.
