Subject: IN GOOD FAITH
Good day,
With warm heart I offer my friendship, and
greetings, and I hope this
mail meets you in good time. However strange or
surprising this
contact might seem to
you, as we have not met personally or had any
dealings in the past, I
humbly ask that you take due consideration of
its importance and
immense benefit. I
also sincerely seek your confidence, as I make
this proposal to you
as a person of integrity.I am contacting you to
assist in
retrieving a certain sum of
amount deposited in a security company by my
late client who
perished with his entire family in a ghastly
motor accident a long
time
ago. This fund has to
be claimed before it gets confiscated because
the security company
doesn't know that the content of the consignment
is cash because on the
day of deposit we
declared it as family valuables and personal
effects because we never
want them to know the true content of the
consignment.
The security company has issued me a notice to
provide the next of kin
or have the consignment confiscated within the
next few weeks and
this very money
is too big for me to allow it to be confiscated by
the authority. Since
I have been unsuccessful in locating the
relatives for over a year
now I seek your consent,
to present you as the next of kin of the
deceased.
Upon this discovery, I now seek your permission to
have you stand as
a next of kin to the deceased, as I will
carefully work out all
documentations for the
funds to be released in your favor as the
beneficiary next of kin. It
may interest you to know that we have secured
from the probate an
order of mandamus to
locate any of deceased beneficiary.Please
acknowledge receipt of this
message in acceptance of our mutual business
endeavor by furnishing me
with your full
names, address and direct contact numbers.
These requirements will enable me file letter of
claim to the
appropriate departments of the security company
for necessary
approvals in
your favor before
thetransfer can be made I shall compensate you
with 20% share of the
total amount of the fund, while 75% goes to me,
and the remaining 5%
for expenses
incurred during the transaction. I have all
necessary legal documents
that can be used to make this claim. All I
require is your honest
co-operation to enable
us see this transaction through. I guarantee you
that this will be
executed under a legitimate arrangement that will
protect you from
any
breach of the law. I
am not imposing this transaction on you it is a
thing of
self-willingness.
After going through the proposal and understanding
it very well, get
back to me immediately so that we can start as
follows:
1) I will send to you the contact of the security
company, the
deposited code, for you to call for verification
if such deposit
really
exists.
2) The claim will require both of our physical
presentation at the
security company.
3) The boxes will also be shipped to your place of
destination Please
contact me through this email address:
(rowlandmoore_23@o2.pl), I
will introduce myself fully pending your response.
Regards,
Rowland Moore
