Attention Dear ,
My name is Barrister Muhamad Rizal Bin Husin, a legal practitioner of the
above law chambers. A deceased client of mine Mr. Ebel Hughes who here in
after shall be referred to as my client, died as the result of a
heart-related condition in November 2001 after losing his wife and his
children in a shipwreck on the sea of Java, Indonesia on 22nd October 2001.
Please visit the link below for more news about the ship mishaps.

I am contacting you because i need somebody that will stand as the next of
kin of my deceased client and I felt that you could help me in the
distribution of funding that he left in his bank account unclaimed. This is
possible because he died unattested and there is no heir to make the claim.
This money is closed to be declared un-serviceable by the finance house as
there were no indicated next of kin or beneficiary of the fund in the bank
account. The bank had issued to me a notification to contact the next of kin
of my deceased client for either to re-activate the bank account or to make
claim of beneficiary, of the fund in the bank account, with a month
surcharge of 6% to be deducted as an escrow safe keeping fee of the bank
account, so as to avoid the indefinite closure of the bank account.
My proposition to you is to seek your consent, and to present your kind self
as the next-of-kin and beneficiary of my deceased client, This means that
the proceeds of his bank account would be paid to you as his next of kin or
the legitimate beneficiary.
When the proceeds in his bank account is granted and transferred into your
nominated account, we would share the proceeds on a mutually agreed-upon
percentage of 60% to me and 40% to your kind self.
All the legal documents to back up your claim as my client's next-of-kin
would be provided by me. The most important thing I would need is your
honest cooperation to in this proposition.
This would be done under a legitimate arrangement that would protect you
from any breach of the law. Off course your reputation and mine is important
to me and will be protected as i will not involve myself in anything that
will damage my profession. If this business proposition offends your moral
and ethic values, with due respect please do accept my sincere apology.
Respectfully,
Barrister Muhamad Rizal Bin Husin
