Subject: PRIVATE MAIL
Greetings,
Before I start,I must firstly, apologize for this unsolicited proposal to you.I
am aware that this is certainly an unconventional approach to starting a
relationship,but as time goes on you will realize the need for my action.
My name is Larry Wood, Solicitor to Gerald Welsh, who died with his wife in an
air crash on the 31st October 1999 in an Egyptian airline flight990.
For confirmation check:

Before the death of Gerald Welsh, he maintained a fixed deposit account with a
Financial services Company here in the UK (details of which I will disclose to
you later). Since his death, none of his relatives have come to make claims
for this money as his beneficiary,and the Security Company cannot release the
fund from his account unless someone applies for claims,as next-of-kin to the
deceased as indicated in the Security Company guidelines.
The Security Company has made several futile efforts to contact his
relatives.As personal Lawyer to Mr.Gerald Welsh I am aware that he was a
secretive person and did not want anybody to know about the bank account.He
infact asked me to write a letter to the Security Company to stop sending to
him,his quarterly statement of account for fear that his mails may be
intercepted by the wrong people.
Based on this discovery, I now seek your permission to have you stand in as a
next of kin to the deceased, as all documentations will be carefully worked out
by me for the release of these funds allamounting to the tune of
(US$5,340,000.00).
This we have to do immediately because after five years the money will be
recalled to the bank`s treasury as unclaimed bills. It is on this note I
decided to seek a willing partner who will act as the next of kin/beneficiary
of Mr.Gerald Welsh rather than allow the bank Claim it.
It may interest you to know that we have secured from the probate office,an
order of mandamus to locate any of the deceased beneficiaries
The following will be required of you at this stage;
1.Your full name:In order for me to prepare the documents for the transfer of
the funds to your name.
2.Direct Telephone and fax numbers:For our private and documentary
correspondence.
Upon your acceptance I shall send you a copy of my international passport for
more confidentiality and trust. I shall be compensating you with a million
dollars ($1Million dollars) on final conclusion of this project for your
assistance and collaboration.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law.If this proposal is acceptable to
you.Please endeavor to contact me immediately THROUGH MY PRIVATE EMAIL ADDRESS:
(larrywood@email.ro) as you realise the urgency and secrecy this transaction
demands.
Regards,
Larry Wood
