Attention,
It is with heartfelt hope that I write to seek your co-operation and
assistance in the context stated below, I am Mr.Ejner Andersen, the personal
assistant to the Late Mr. Richard Williams. I got your contact during my
search for a reliable person I could do business with, though I do not know
you but I seek to ask a favor from you as this will sincerely benefit the
both of us and all parties involved.
My Late Boss was an Executive Officer of a leading Oil and Servicing Firm
for 10 years and he was retired on the 28th day of September 2006. After a
month, He and his entire family died on their way to a Conference in an
Automobile crash on the 11th day of November 2006.
Before his death my Boss had a total sum of $10,500,000.00(USD) with a
Financier House in Europe, hoping of transferring the funds to his Country
{United Kingdom} after his retirement as soon as he comes back from the
conference. According to the {DEED OF WILL} made be my late Boss, He wrote
{DEED OF WILL} that if anything should happen to him, that I should make
sure I locate any of his family members.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for close to a
year now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the
deceased. I agree to pay you 50% of the fund as the account owner, 50% for
me.
Please do provide the following information for the application processing.
1. Your full name:
2. Contact address:
3. Email:
4. Phone number for verbal communication:
5. Age (Date of Birth):
6. Occupation:
All this information will enable me write an application to the company on
your behalf, and present you to the company as the real next of kin to my
late Boss. All required is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing this
business successful. I guarantee that this will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement which will protect you from any breach of the law.
Late Richard Williams was a very good man and it is not wise for me to
allow his hard earned wealth to be stolen by the greedy directors of the
Company. Please note that this email is with no intent of getting you upset
in anyway but just a proposal I believe will be of mutual benefit to both of
us. I strongly await your urgent response for effective process.
Regards,
Ejner Andersen.
