Good day
I am sorry for contacting you through this medium without a previous notice;
I had to use email because it is an official and more confidential way of
making contact with people around the world. My name is BARRISTER WILLIAM
SMITH a Forty two (42) years old Attorney in practice here in London. I had
a client by name MR. CHENG DARE who is a British Citizen and contractor
based here in London now deceased. On the 2nd of August 2006, my client, his
wife and their only child were involved in a car accident on their way to
Manchester along M25 Adytum Road.
Prior to the Death of my Late Client, He secured a contract of
£12,500,000.00 million pounds from the British Airways, following which he
received a 30% mobilization fee of £3,750,000.00 Million and successfully
executed the contract, but the balance of £8,750,000.00 Million contract
payment was in the Process of being transferred into My Late Client's
Account with BARCLAY`S BANK London which he submitted to the British Airways
before he lost his life in the incidence.
Two weeks after his sudden Death, The British Airways affected the transfer
of the balance of his Contract Funds into the Account that My Late Client
has on his file with them. As his personal attorney after his death I have
been officially notified and instructed by the BARCLAY`S BANK London where
the money is currently deposited that I should provide and forward the
particulars of MR. CHENG DARE next of kin so that the Funds in his Account
can be remitted into his Next of Kin's Account in accordance With British
Laws. However, as the personal attorney and close confident of late MR.
CHENG DARE , I want you to know that my late Client died interstate, He died
without leaving a Will. Hence all my efforts to locate any of his relative
whom I can present to the Bank as his next of kin have proved abortive.
Therefore I am seeking for your consent to present you as the deceased
relative/next of kin and subsequently the beneficiary of the fund so that
the proceed of this account valued at $8,750,000.00 Million can be paid to
you for subsequent disbursement between you and I. If you can cooperate with
me and receive these funds as next of kin to late MR. CHENG DARE , Confirm
your interest by contacting me through my confidential Email above.
I can assure you that this deal is 100% risk free because I am in possession
of the deceased personal file which contains all information which I shall
use to prove your relationship with the deceased therefore the money will be
paid into the account of whomever I present as LATE MR. CHENG DARE Next of
kin with proofs that I will present to the bank when needed. When I receive
a positive response and after proper discussion with you, I will furnish you
all relevant information that will facilitate the release of the Funds to
you. An Application will have to be filed to the Bank for processing of the
release of the Funds into your nominated Bank account anywhere in the world.
Send to me your private phone and fax numbers for easy communication and do
reply me through my
Private email address williamsmith-lawyer@hotmail.co.uk for more
informations. Hope to hear From you through the above number.
Your Prompt response is highly imperative.
Yours truly,
BARRISTER WILLIAM SMITH
