WITH FULL DEEP RESPECT AND HUMILITY I KNOW THIS LETTER MAY COME TO YOU
AS A SURPRISE SINCE
THIS IS MY INTRODUTORY MESSAGE AND WE HAVE NEVER MEET BEFORE.
I am Mr. Abdullah Said a legal practitioner with Abdullah Law Firm in
Kuala
Lumpur,Malaysia.
I saw your contact and profile and decided that you could cooperate
with me in this
proposition.
I have a client who was deceased in November, 2001,in Kuala
Lumpur,Malaysia.I am contacting
you because you have the same surname as my deceased client and i felt
that you could help
me in the distribution of funding that were left in my deceased
client's bank account. This
funding is closed to be declared un-serviceable by the bank as there
were no indicated next
of kin or next of beneficiary of the funding in the bank account.
The total amount of cash in the bank account of my deceased client is
US$ 5.2 Million (Say,
Five Million, two Hundred Thousand United States dollars Only ),
The bank had issued to me a notification to contact the next of kin of
my deceased client
for either to re-activate the bank account or to make claim of
beneficiary,of the funding in the bank account, with a month surcharge
of 6% to be deducted
as an Escrow safe
keeping fee of the bank account,so as to avoid the indefinite closure
of the bank account.
My proposition to you is to seek your consent, and to present your kind
self as the
next-of-kin and beneficiary of my deceased client, since you have the
same last name with him.
This means that the proceeds of his bank account would be paid to you
as his next of kin
or the legitimate beneficiary. When the proceeds in his bank account
are paid to you,we would share the p! roceeds on a mutually
agreed-upon percentage of 60%
to me and 40% to
your kind self.
All the legal documents to back up your claim as my client's
next-of-kin would be provided
by me. The most important thing I would need is your honest cooperation
in this proposition. This would be done under a legitimate arrangement
that would protect
you from
any breach of the law.
Sorry and over look this business proposition if it offends your moral
and ethic values
but please,contact me at once if you're interested by replying the
mail: abdusaidchambers1@yahoo.com
Yours Sincerely,
Barr.Abdullah Said Esq.
