Re: I anticipate your mail

Ocean of (LEWISS LAW FIRM) Solicitor And Associates and Lawyer to Engr.Abraham B. Adams a customer to one of the commercial Bank here in the United Kingdom who is a National of your country, I lost my Client and his family in an auto crash here in England some years back and his account valued at US$ 10,800,000.00 (Ten Million, Eight Hundred Thousand U.S Dollars) has been dormant and unclaimed due to unavailability of a next of kin / relatives to claim his estate, since his son whom he used as his next of kin died with him in the crash.
In accordance with the Es-cheat laws of England, the Board of Directors of the Bank met a forth-night ago and resolved to turn the estate of the deceased over to the Government having waited for too long without the deceased relatives / next of kin surfacing, and if this is done, invariably the funds/the estate will end up becoming Government property .It is against this backdrop that I am moved to contact you considering the fact that a known relative of him have not been located, until now the bank is still waiting for report from my Chamber. As soon as I hear from you I will meet with bank.
I am seeking your co-operation and understanding to stand as the deceased next of kin to enable us claim this fund before the time period given by the Bank elapse .Hence, If this proposal is OK by you and you do not wish to take undue advantage of the trust I hope to bestow on you, then kindly get back to me immediately,write to enable me enlighten you on how we are to proceed.
Please be rest assured that it is a risk free project and the proceedings will be shared 50% each once the funds are repatriated into your account either there in your country or elsewhere. Meanwhile, I have worked out the strategies and technicalities whereby the funds can be claimed without any hitch now and after. Should incase you are interested, Please email me for further details.
I await your prompt response.
Regards,
BARR. LEWIS A. OCEAN (CEO).
NB: PLEASE NOTE THAT IT DOES NOT MATTER WHETHER YOU ARE RELATED TO MY LATE CUSTOMER OR NOT, THE FUND WILL STILL BE PAID TO YOU, SINCE I AM PRESENTING YOU AS HIS NEXT OF KIN, BASED ON THE FACT THAT I WAS HIS PERSONAL/PRESIDING ATTORNEY BEFORE HIS SUDDEN DEATH. THIS IS SIMPLE AND RISK FREE, SO WHOM EVER IS PRESENTED BY ME WILL BE PAID BY THE BANK....This email may contain confidential or privileged information and is intended for the addressee only.
