Subject: Dear Stoop
Dear Sir / Madam
I appologise to you for any inconveniences caused if this mail does not meet
your demands, though I do not intend to embarass you by the contents of this
very mail.I am Barrister Horan Monahan. I was the personal Attorney to Late
Engr R.N.Stoop ,who was a citizen of your Country but lived and did his
business here with his family and he was the CEO of Suh Properties before
his sudden death along with his family.
This mail is written to solicit your assistance to present you as next of
kin to my Late Client. Before his sudden death,he made a fixed Deposit
valued at USD22,million (Twenty Two Million United States Dollars Only) with
a bank. Unfortunately he lost his life aboard Egypt Air Flight 990, which
crashed into the Atlantic Ocean on October 31, 1999. He left no clear
beneficiary as Next of Kin .
The Bank here in london has searched for the relatives for more than four
years without any success and after 5 years,no claims are made by any of the
deceased next of kin,the money will be sent to unclaimed accounts and
embezzled by the corrupt bank or government officials. It is against this
back drop that the bank has contacted me as the Late depositor's Attorney to
contact and present to them my late Client's next of kin so that the deposit
can be paid to him or her.This is why I have contacted you.Anybody I present
to the bank as the next of kin will be accepted .Upon your acceptance, I
shall give you other details for the successful claim of the fund. I have
secured from the probate registry, an order of Mandamus to locate any of the
deceased beneficiaries, and more so I am assuring you that this business is
100% risk free. If this proposal is acceptable by you, please endeavour to
reply me immediately,if not please disregard this information.
Thank you very much for your anticipated acceptance while I expect your
prompt response.
Yours faithfully,
Horan Monahan Esq .
