Subject: RESPOND TO ME URGENTLY ON THIS
Hello Friend,
Hope you are doing great and sound? I am Dr. Norman Kenneth de Andrade
Barrister at law and attorney to late Goethem Haemer, a Greek Merchant
otherwise known as my client who was based in the United Kingdom and
died of complications from injuries sustained after a ghastly motor
accident.
As the attorney to Sir Goethem Haemer I was his confidant as he shared
with me virtually everything about himself, his business and family. I
was his attorney for 15 years and during that period I wrote his WILL
and was also named as the executor, which has since been fulfilled. I am
also aware due to my closeness to him that the amount of 22 Million
Euros he deposited with a bank in Europe was not willed out. He told me
about this on his sick bed and even instructed that I should prepare a
codicil to that effect, however before I could finish my work he had
died.
After his death, funeral and subsequent execution of his will I went
into action to ascertain the information passed unto me by my client. My
investigation conformed to the information; at that point I knew I had
to do something to move the funds out of the bank and knowing that I
cannot do this alone I have decided to contact you and seek your
assistance and acceptance to be the next of kin to the estate. It is necessary
for us to move the money out of the bank now because if we do not do
this within the next two years the bank would regard the money as sundry
funds, which becomes as good as their own money.
I cannot move the money in my name because he was my client, for it
could arouse suspicion thus the importance of your assistance. Have my
assurance that there is nothing to fear about, as I also need your
assurance that you would work with me without fear or favour to achieve our
desired objective. The legal back up is no problem for I would be
responsible. Since the codicil was not ready before his death, Letters of
Administration without Will, would be secured from the probate office, with
this document granting probate rights in your favour I would personally
apply on your behalf to the bank for the release of the funds to you.
What I require from you to enable us achieve the above are your:
Full and Official Names
Address
Date of Birth
Telephone and Fax numbers
Upon receipt of a confirmation of acceptance from you, a sharing ratio
would be worked out between us on the most liberal and magnanimous
terms.
Take care and have a nice day. Reply me at my private email account:

Sincerely,
Norman Kenneth de Andrade
