Subject: URGENT PROPOSAL
Dear Friend,
I am Dr. Mark Williams Barrister at law and attorney to late
Sir Timotheus Diodorus, 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 Timotheus Diodorus 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 a huge amount of money Pounds he deposited with a bank
here in London 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 executions 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.
Aside my humble self and you, the relationship manager
(Account officer) of my client knows about this, for He was
very helpful during my discreet investigation, Through him I
was able to see the deposit paper work Of the fund which
confirmed that there is no next of
Kin to the it. It is necessary for us to move the fund out
of the bank on time because if we do not do This within the
next two years the bank would regard The money as sundry
funds, which would give them the
Right to claim the money.
I cannot move the money in my name because he is my Client,
for it could arose suspicion, his account Officer cannot do
the same, hence the importance of your assistance. Has my
assurance that there is
Nothing to fear about, as we also need your assurance That
you would work with me without fear or favor 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, letter of Administration will be secured from the
Probate office, with this letter I would personally apply on
your behalf to the bank for the release of
the funds to you. I also want you to know that you would not
be asked to pay any fee for this transaction. All we need is
your assistance and trust.
Upon receipt of a confirmation of acceptance from you a
sharing ratio would be worked out between the three of us
and communicated to you along with my telephone Number in
the light of above, your positive responses would be
appreciated.
Sincerely,
Mark Williams.
Kellwood Associates.
