Dear Friend,
I write to seek your cooperation as my foreign partner
and your assistance
to enable me to own properties and invest in the
stable economy of your country. I apologize if this mail message does not
suit your personal or business ethics.
My names are ROBERT JAMES 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, Since then, I have been managing his properties here
in the U.K. and some of his properties, which he put out for sale. Which I
monitored the payment as his attorney, has been bought and paid for. Now the
money paid was deposited into his account. I have contacted you to
assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by my client before
they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by his bank.
Particularly, the bank has issued me a notice to
provide any of his next of kin or have the account confiscated within a short
time. My late client has an account valued at 15.5 million dollars. Since I
have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for some time now, and with the
bank giving me deadline, I now seek your consent to present you as
the next of kin of the deceased, so that the proceeds of this account valued
at 15.5 million dollars can be paid to you and then you, and I can
share the money. 50% to me amounting to US$7,750,000.00 dollars and 40% for
you amounting to US$6,200.000.00 and 10% amounting to US$1,550,000.00
for miscellaneous expenses that might arise. I have all necessary
information that can be used to back up any Claim we may make.
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; this is a risk-free relationship.
Send me your full names and address, telephone and fax
numbers to enable us discuss further about this transaction.
A swift acknowledgement on the receipt of this mail
would be appreciated.
