Dear Friend,
Thank you for your mail.
First I want to let you know that this transaction will be carry out within the jurisdiction of both local and international laws and it is for this reason that I have decided to acquire the necessary documentation with regards to the funds.
With all relevant documents in place, the issue to receiving the funds will not pose any risk to us at all.
For clarity I will outline the perfected modalities: 1. the preparation of the legal papers will be carried out by an attorney which I will employ. He will prepare the "WILL" and Testament bequeathing the assets of the deceased to you and this includes the deposited funds with the bank.
Infact after reading your mail, I have commenced discussion with this attorney on arrangements to draft and prepare this "WILL" making you the sole heir of the inheritance, which he has agreed to do.
He has promised that he will deliver this "WILL" in two or three days time after receiving the necessary information from you. After the drafting and notarization of the "WILL" at the notary public, he will then go ahead to procure the "LETTER OF PROBATE".
This document is the final document that gives you legal authorization to lay claim to the funds and also gives you the authority to request for the transfer of these funds into your nominated account.
I will be sending you a copy of the "LETTER OF PROBATE" for your perusal when the attorney concludes.
I will pay the charges of the attorney. The basic requirement of this transaction from you is for you to set up an account with a private bank which is my bank's affiliate bank in Europe.
The reason for this is that since the September 11th saga, all huge transfers by my bank to any individual or corporate body is been transferred through their affiliate bank.
Another reason for setting up an account with the affiliate bank is that I want the funds to be taken out of my bank without raising any eyebrow. You must understand that this is a deal and we must make sure that we do not leave any stone unturned.
I worked out the modalities for this transaction and I am very positive that if we work together following these modalities, we would be successful and have course to count our blessings. I would like to hear from you soonest so that we can proceed further.
I appreciate your decision to partake in this transaction with me and be rest assured that we would be together soon for further investment opportunities.
I would require you to send me your personal details as listed below so that the attorney can commence the documentation process.
1.Your full names and personal address.
2.Your date of birth.
3.Your place of birth.
4.Your phone and fax numbers.
5.Your Occupation Upon the receipt of your phone number, I will give you a call so that we can discuss some more. Please, do respond back as soon as possible or give me a call.
God bless and my regards.
Yours faithfully.
David Scott.
