Subject: Urgent Proposal
18,Ashmoor road,
London England.
Dear Beloved Friend,
This is a personal email directed to you and I request that it be
treated as such. I must solicit your confidentiality and assure you
that I am contacting you in good faith and this proposal will be of
mutual benefit. I am Barrister Hilary Combs ,an attorney at law. I amthe personal attorney/sole executor to the late Mr. Robert, hereinafter
referred to as 'my client's who worked as an independent oil magnate in
my country and who died in a car crash with his immediate family in
east London on the 5th of November 2000.
My late client a former Sub-Comptroller working with Chevron Texaco Oil
here in the United Kingdom and had left behind a deposit of Nine
Million Eight Hundred Thousand British Pounds Sterling
only(9.8million)with a finance company. After the death of my client,
the finance company contacted me, as his attorney to provide his next
of kin who should inherit his fortune, this according to them is their
policy in such circumstances.
Since the death of my client, I have written several letters to the
embassy with an intent to locate any of his extended relatives whom
shall be claimants/beneficiaries of his abandoned personal estate and
all such efforts have been to no avail. I had to inform the finance
company about my fruitless effort in locating my late client close
relative or his next of kin. The board of directors of the company just
adopted a resolution and I was mandated to provide his next of kin for
the payment of this money within the next 15 official working days or
forfeit the money as an abandoned funds. The company had planned to
invoke the abandoned property decree of the company to confiscate the
funds after the expiration of the period given me. Also I have
received official letters in the last two day suggesting a likely
proceeding for confiscation of his abandoned personal assets in line
with existing laws of the institution.
Well I have reasoned very professionally and I can use a legal means to
present a next of kin of my deceased client. this is legally possible
and would be done in accordance with the laws of the land. On this
note I decided to search for a credible person and finding that you
bear a similar last name, I was urged to contact you, that I may, with
your consent, present you to the "trustee" as my late client's family
member so as to enable you put up a claim to the bank in that capacity
as a next of kin of my client. I find this possible for the fuller
reasons that you are of the same n ationality and you bear a similar
last name with my late client making it a lot easier for you to put up
a claim in that capacity. I have all vital documents that would confer
you the legal right to make this claim and would make them available to
you so that the proceeds of this bank account valued at 9.8million can
be paid to you before it gets confiscated or declared unserviceable to
the bank where this huge amount is lodged.
I do sincerely sympathize with the death of my client but I think it is
unprofitable for his funds to be submitted to the government of this
country or some financial institution. My aim is to retrieve this funds
and let it be claimed by the deceased family name,etc. For this I seek
your assistance since I have been unable to locate the relatives for
the past 5years now.
I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased
since you have the same last name giving you the advantage so that the
proceeds of this account can be paid to you and then both of us can
share the money,60% to me and 40% to you. I know there might be other
persons out there with the same surname as my late client, but after a
little check my instinct tells me to contact you . Can I trust you on
this? I shall assemble all the necessary documents that will be used to
back up your claim.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of law. I will not fail to bring
to your notice that this proposal is hitch-free and that you should not
entertain any fears as the required arrangements have been made for the
completion of this transfer.
Like I said, I require only a solemn confidentiality on this. Please
get in touch with me by my alternative email-: hcombs2006@yahoo.com for
better confidentiality and send to me your telephone and fax numbers to
enable us discuss further on this transaction. If this proposal is
acceptable by you, do not take undue advantage of the trust I have
bestowed in you,Thanks for your understanding.
Kind Regards.
Barrister Hilary Combs
