Subject: Notification of your inherittance
From: John Adams Esq.
Managing Partner (Jones Chambers) London - United Kingdom
Tel/fax +448452802859
Hello,
I am mailing from United Kingdom.I am Barr.John Adams, Solicitor & Financial Attorney/ Consultant. I was moved to contact you based on present condition. There is a foreigner who registered in me as his personal attorney and HE WAS A FISHERMAN AS WELL AS ONE TIME SECRET AGENT IN LIFTING OIL TO OVERSEAS FOR OUR FORMER MINISTERIES.He was also a Diamond/Gold Merchant.
So, on 2nd June 2001 my client made a numbered time (Fixed) deposit for US$5.900,000.00 (Five Million nine Hundred Thousand US Dollars Only) with a BANK here in United Kingdom,with standing statement/agreement with the bank that all correspondences in respect to the fixed deposit contract must be sent to him through my humble chambers. Upon maturity, the routine notification was sent to me, which I dispatched to his forwarding address as usual without no reply.After a month, I sent a reminder which I received from
the bank without any reply again.
Finally, I discovered from my client died among many others on Sept.11, 2001 Terrorist attack. But,he died without making any WILL and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.I also discovered that he did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents,including his fixed deposit contract with the bank.Hencefort, I seek your consent to present you to this bank as the next of kin based on the official letter I just received from his bankers reminding me that UK LAW states that at the expiration of four(5) years the money will revert to the
ownership of the UK Government if I do not confirm the next of kin to
claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to my deceased client so that the fruits of this old man's labour will not go into the hands of some corrupt government officials. Note that this transaction is simple and risk free because I will provide expert legal services that will guarantee the successful execution of this deal.I shall provide you with more details and how we shall proceed with the claims.
I expect you to observe utmost confidentiality and be rest assured that this transaction would be profitable for both of us. Thanks as I await for your reply.
Best Regards,
Barr.John Adams
