Subject: LET ME KNOW IF WE WILL PROCEED.
Dearest Brother
Thank you for your wonderful letter and how are you doing my brother, I am
bringing greetings from London United Kingdom to you and your lovely god
sent family. I and my family have accepted you as our household member
praying that the same divine connection that brought us together will dwell
in us till the end of time.
My Brother, I am most happy man to have a man of your age and respect
involved in this proven matter now it is needed most. I know personally that
you have a name to protect and I myself have a name to protect as a senior
citizen of my country. My Brother, i got your name from the internal revenue
department of your country. I want you to know that there are so many
numerous scams going in the world today but children of god are not victims
of this scams. My Heart is out and i need you to re-assure me of your
sincerity and guarantee me that we will not have any problems after the
transfer of funds to you as you have said. As for me, I will never do
anything that is evil in the site of god.
As a man I know your reputation is what matters in this matter and if you
can read my previous mail, I made it clear to you that all that concerns
this matter will be made absolutely legal so that you and I will remain
under the umbrella of the law which is my greatest concern. My Brother, I am
a man that loves to be very imperative in my dealings with any man as I know
as god lives we will follow this matter based on transparency and absolute
sincerity that comes from god. This matter have been giving me the most
sleepiness night but thank god who sent you as a partner.
At this point I wish to explain certain issues to you; you must not be a
biological relative of the deceased Engr Nichole Maliki because any one
could decide to WILL out his fortune to any body of his choice. It is a
personal decision to make in any individuals life including yours. So the
WILL is going to be legally drafted to your favor and presented by the
personal attorney to the deceased on your behalf; I hope you get a clear
picture of what I am talking about?
It is now my duty to secure this instead of letting it get confiscated or
declared unserviceable after 11 bank working days by the finance firm here
in Europe. Please for your information I need your sincerity and trust
because the finance firm would only allow this whole fund get into your
account first at the end of the transfer processes, and it’s only then would
I have access to this fund. You then will have to send 50% of this whole
fund to me. I know with this offer you don’t have to think other wise in
letting me down by the time this whole fund finally gets into your account.
For the last time be of the best intentions towards this. I have suffered
for this and will and must have to get paid.
Remember I told you in my last mail that this matter will cost us money and
sincerely that is the undiluted truth. This cost will be cost of arranging
all the legal documents that will bear your name and your full address so
that you can be made the original beneficiary of fund. As soon as this
matter is fully legalized the lawyer and the court will have all the legal
document presented to the Bank demanding for an onward release of the fund.
The truth is this and I know I cannot lie to a man like you, since you have
decided to be truthful and sincere as well; moreover since I value your word
to my life, that you will assist me in this venture which I am willing to
proceed with all truth and honesty so that you can understand that indeed
you are more than a brother to me.
Now I have investigated with in over three law firms here in the Uk and the
lowest bid is what I am taking to move us forward in this matter. The
arrangement with the lawyer as it is been practiced over here is that we pay
him his professional fee as soon as this matter is settled and the fund is
duly transferred into your account; that is why i have set aside some
additional percentage on mine which you will return back for this purpose.
But we have to pay up for his consultation fee and his logistics fee with
the cost of the legal documents he will be procuring with your name so that
you can be established as the beneficiary of the fund legally in all the
offices this claim needs to be registered over here in the UK. The lawyer is
stating that the cost of the legal documents is $27,640 the official flat
rate while the cost of his consultation fee and logistics all through this
period will cost us $8,000 making all total to be $35,640 ,now this is the
only requirement we need to move this matter forward and I know you are the
kind of person that will understand that a transaction of this nature needs
the best legality since it is involving a huge amount of money to proceed
but I want you to let me know your mind in this as I cannot be able to pay
all the legal fee alone so based on this if i must take a loan on your
behalf so that we can proceed in this matter, then you will have to provide
me with the following informations immediately.
Your Full Name
Home & Contact Address
Age
Sex
Occupation
Marital Status
Nationality
Phone number
And any legal means of your identification (either international passport or
driving licence)
I need you to know that there is no way you can invest in this matter and
regret since we have decided to handle this matter legally and the whole
documents secured in your name will give us immediate access to have this
fund without any problems at all. So my assurance still remains that nothing
you invest in this matter that is a waste as I know surely god will give us
the expected end result. I dire you to be up and pray for this matter so
that god in his infinite mercy will see us through and do something
unforgettable in our lives. The key to this matter is to keep all very
confidential to you until we are out of this matter. I will give you my
phone number so that you can call me if there is arising need for that. I am
equally appealing to you that you should be very punctual to your emails
this days so that you can be moving forward without any delay, So check you
mail often and on so that we can have good contact. I will be happy to hear
a word of positiveness in your mouth as I know god will soon put laughter in
our lives. I await your immediate response.
Your brother and partner,
Peter Wagner.
