FROM SEBASTINE COLE.
45 church Street,
south Africa.
Dear Sir|Madam,
I offer my friendship and my greetings and I hope this matter meets you in
goodtime. It will be suprising fo you to receive this proposal from me since
you do not know me personally. I got your email address through an enquiry I
was making in the Internet. However, I am sincerely seeking your confidence
in this transaction which I propose with my free mind.
I am Mr Sebastine Cole, Mr Sebastine Cole, personal attorney to Mrs maria
igor, a national of your country, have worked as a Consultant / Contractor
with an Oil Exploration Company in south Africa,herein after shall be
referred to as my client.
On the 26th of February 2003, my client, and her two adopted children,
including their nanny were involved in a Tragic,Ghastly Auto accident where
they had all lost their lives.
Ever since, i have been busy making several enquiries to your embassy to
locate any of my clients extended relatives, but has proved unsuccessful. I
came to know about you through a thorough enquiry I was making in the
internet, and I found out you shared the same surname with my client, which
is why I have decided to contact you, in order to assist in claiming the
money and property left behind by my client before they get confiscated or
declared unserviceable by the Finance
House.
A local Finance House here where my deceased client had an account valued at
about US$34Million
Dollars, has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the
account confisticated within the next seven official working days.
I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2 years now I
request for your Co-operation to present you as the relative to the deceased
since you have the same surname so that the proceeds of this account valued
at US$ 34Million Dollars will be paid to you, which will be shared between
us on the ratio of 60% to me, 30% to you and 10% going to the Charity home
where she had adopted her two children from.
I have all necessary legal documents 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
business through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
In any way this business proposition offends your moral values, do accept my
apology. Please get in
touch with me by email and send to me your telephone to enable us discuss
further about the details of this Matter.
Best regards,
Sebastine Cole.
