Subject: ASSISTANCE AS NEXT OF KIN
Greetings,
RE: ASSISTANCE AS NEXT OF KIN IN THE ESTATE OF MR. RICHARD BURSON (DECEASED)
I am Dr. Albert Dupree, solicitor to the above referred deceased person. I am
soliciting your assistance to act as next of kin to my deceased client in a
transaction involving US$41.500.000.00 (Forty-one million five hundred
thousand united state dollars) who died in an air crash along with his wife
on the 31st October 1999 in an Egyptian airline 990 with other passengers on
board. You can confirm this from this website:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm and all attempts to
search for the next of kin has proved abortive since he did not declare any
next of kin in deposit document at the bank, and with me. Therefore, he died
intestate. Now the bank is requesting that as his lawyer I should present a
next of kin immediately otherwise the money will be forfeited to the government
because under our law if no claim is made by a next of kin to the estate of
deceased person for seven years the property will revert to the government
and I do not want this to happen.
Upon 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 funds US$41.500.000.00 (Forty one million five hundred thousand united
state dollars) to be released in your favour as the beneficiary's next of kin
It may interest you to know that I have secured from the probate an order
of mandamus (a legal responsibility/obligation) from the bank to locate any of the
deceased beneficiaries. I want to assure you that I have concluded all local modalities
for the successful completion of this upon your agreement to proceed with me
as the required assistance is perfected to be 100% risk free.
Should you agree to be presented as next of kin to the deceased, I am willing
to compensate you with 25% of the $41,500,000.00 us dollars (Forty-one million five
hundred thousand united state dollars) which translates to US$10,375,000.00 us
dollars. In short your benefit for collaborating with me will be $10,375,000.00
us dollars. If you're Interested in partnering me in this transaction kindly
send me your complete names, address, telephone and fax numbers plus any other
detail that shows your ability to handle a transaction of this magnitude.
As regards the nature of this transaction I want you to keep utmost confidentiality
in this transaction and there should be no third party involvement.
Thank you for the anticipated positive consideration of this proposal.
Please reply with my private email box below and I shall advice you on
what we need to do.
Best regards,
Dr. Albert Dupree
