Dear Friend,
I wish to approach you with a request that would be of immense benefit
to both of us. I am an attorney based in Scotland United Kingdom. I
want you and I to make some fortune out of a situation that I am obviously
left with no other better option. The issue that I am presenting to you
is a case of my client that willed a fortune to his only daughter. It
is unfortunate that he and his daughter died on the London Bomb attacks
on 7 July 2005. The wife died of heart attack on receiving the sad news
a week after. I am now faced with a problem of getting a trusted person
who I will make the beneficiary that I would pass the fortune to. And
according to the law such fortune is supposed to be bequeathed to the
government if there is not any relatives or next-of-kin of the decease
that would surface for claim of the fortune.
However, I personally don’t belong to such school of thought that
proposes that such fortune be given to the government because this is
cheating and is possible that the top government officials for their own
selfish interest could divert the fortune. Because of this I am contacting
you to seek your acting as the beneficiary of the will. I am my client
attorney and I alone knew about his will. Upon indication of your
interests, all I will do is to amend the will by fitting in your name as the
supposed next-of-kin and back it up with a sworn affidavit, which
automatically became valid. This amendment should be between us and must not
leak out to anyone. It is absolutely confidential.
I have complete information of his bank account details with an
outstanding balance of $48,550,000.00USD ($48.550 Million USD). To make you be
sure of this, I can provide you with details of his bank to enable you
to log on to his account to confirm this balance. I know that you would
be apprehensive and feel that this is a big sum, but it does not matter
because this is a legacy being passed on to a next-of-kin and you are
the available next-of-kin.
As I am not very sure of getting your consent yet on the issue, I
prefer not to divulge my full identity so as not to risk being disbarred.
Until I am sure of your consent and full cooperation then I will not be
afraid to give you my full identity. In the meanwhile, I would prefer
that we maintain correspondence by email and fax. At this point I want to
assure you that your true consent, full cooperation and confidentiality
are all that are required to enable us to take full advantage of this
golden opportunity.
I shall make representation to the legal courts to facilitate the
amendment process within three working days. Since this is a transaction of
immense benefit to both of us, I would want that we shared all expenses
according to our agreed sharing ratio of the fortune. The sharing ratio
shall be 60% for me and 40% for you. This shall also be applicable to
all expenditures that would be incurred in the course of the transaction
because I wouldn’t want either of us to feel cheated. Please note that
this is a legal and risk free transaction that does not in anyway
hamper the monetary laws of your country. It is an inheritance fund.
If you are interested to work with me, please provide me with your
name, address, nationality, age, and date of birth, height, and phone and
fax numbers as required for the amendment of the will. On completion of
this, I will send you a copy of the amended will which you will fax to
the bank with a back up letter written by your good self requesting for
the release of the fund to you. I will also write to the bank as the
legal representative of my client before his demise, ordering for the
transfer of the fund to you, as the beneficiary of his will.
I will appreciate your urgent response in this regard. Thanks for your
anticipated cooperation.
Yours faithfully,
DAVID KIRK.
