Subject: DEAR SIR, URGENT RESPONSE REQUIRED
Compliment of the season, I do not know you personally but I am writing you this Email base on the sincerity of my heart and Absolute trust that you will understand this matter and the need of assisting me over this issue, As I am a man who is God fearing and looking for an Honest Person to move along in this matter with all diligence.
Please I plead that you should not be disappointed with this email coming to you as an unsolicited mail but to see the proven reason why I have directed this email to you alone without any third party so that the Confidentiality of this matter can be really observed, as there is one life opportunity that God blesses a Man with; which in my heart I see as not just an Opportunity but a divine arrangement for upliftment and change in status. So do not feel bad receiving my message.
My name is Mr. Peter Wagner, I am a good friend to Late Engr. N. Maliki, a National of your country born on the 7th day of Jan 1946 , who until his death he had no wife nor son or daughter. He was a Contractor and has spent most of his life with me in United Kingdom. My good friend Engr. N. Maliki was involved in a bomb blast and unfortunately he lost his life on Thursday, 7 July, 2005 at St. Louis Hospital, London Atlantic Highland.
Since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of my friends extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful since he has no next-of-kin at the time of his death. After these several unsuccessful attempts to trace any Member of his immediate family hence I contacted you. I am contacting you to assist in repatriating the assets and Capital valued at US$5.5million left behind by my friend before it gets confiscated by the bank where these huge deposits are.
The said Bank in London has issued me a notice to provide the next of Kin or have the Treasury bill confiscated since I was the only known and close associate they know. Since I have been unsuccessful in my efforts locating any of my friend's relatives for a while now, I seek your consent to present you as the Next of kin to the deceased since you have a similar name, so that the proceeds of this treasury bill can be paid to you rather than been confiscated by the Bank as the maturity of payment of this fixed amount have come and gone living the money in the custody of the Bank without any direction of use. This has caused the Bank to have an eyebrow since they found out the my late friend is among the victim of the bomb blast that lost his life, I having been living under anxiety and pressure as I know this fund can turn my life around if I can find a sincere partner to team with and have our mind focused in this cause so that we can have this fund secured and transferred
out to your account fast to avoid confiscation by the Bank or declaring the money dormant and unserviceable.
I am not begging for your assistance over this issue as I cannot beg you to enter into partnership with me in a transaction of high magnitude like this since it is going to be of financial benefit to all parties involved; i require a situation whereby a person with good understanding will have a good thought over this as a life opportunity that does not require to slip out of our hand, since it will be a life changing and a divine financial turn around. Therefore, on receipt of your positive response and full indication vividly to work with me to actualize this issue, we shall then discuss the sharing ratio and modalities for claim. I have all the necessary information as what to do in this regards for proper commencement of this claim. All I require from you is your honest cooperation to stand firmly and proper confidentiality of this issue to you only to avoid security lapses, which can be very anti to this issue.
Your capability / maturity of the mind is what matters in this case; to take your decision like a man, whether to embark on this business or not; because consultation of parties into this issue is not welcomed as I have explained. I guarantee and vow that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you and I from any breach of the law. I have a proven interest in this matter, and been a british citizen, well known as a man with honesty and trustworthiness as a way of life, I will require you possess same quality. I wait to hear from you soon.
Best regards, Mr. Peter Wagner.
