Dear Friend wong,
Thanks for your mail and the contents are well noted, Please I want to let you know that this mail was not sent to a wrong person rather I was seeking for your partnership in this transaction since you have the same last name with my late client Mr. Mark, which I have already explained to you in my previous mail.
As I have already informed you that my name is Barr. David Scott ESQ the personal attorney to your late brother Mr. Mark, who tragedly died along with his wife and children in a car accident. Since his death, I have been contacted by the Finance Company where he deposited some money valued the sum of US$20.Million The finance company has been writing me to produce his next-of-kin otherwise they will confiscate or declare the fund as "Unclaimed Deposit".
Based on my dealings with financial institute, I am quite sure that the top officials of the finance company will use this opportunity to enrich themselves by sharing the money (US$20 Million) among them-selves. This is one of the means most top officials that work in a bank or any finance institute become so rich. Since I could not locate anybody as the next-of-kin to my late client. I decided to contact you for a partnership in order for us to claim this money together in which you will act as the next-of-kin, while I provide all the legal documents needed by you to make this claim successful.
Note that my reason of seeking for your assistant in this is because my client Mr. Mark during his stay here did not relate to me the extent of his extended relatives and his wife, who could have been emerged as the Next of Kin to Inherit all his properties including this funds in question also died along with the Husband. With this, I hope you can see that we can forge ahead with out any further delay.
Be rest assured that this transaction is 100% risk-free, since I have all legal documents that we can use to back-up our claim, and also I am known as his personal attorney. Accordingly to international law of inheritance, it is only the attorney that can produce the next-of-kin to the deceased in absence of the deceased person. I have decided to share this money together with you as I have pre-informed you, that is, 50% for me and 50% to you.
All I need from you is your full name and address, your telephone and fax numbers for easy communication (mobile preferably). With the required information, I can obtain an affidavit of claim on your behalf and process all other legal documents that will make you the original next-of-kin to my late client.
Please get back to me urgently for more information needed.
Thanks for your understanding and God bless you.
Yours sincerely,
Barr. David Scott ESQ.
