Greetings,
This is a personal email directed to you and I request that it should be
treated as such. I am Raymond Smith, a solicitor at law.
I am the personal attorney/sole executor to the late Mr. Mark Ginsburg, who
died in a car crash with his immediate family on the 5th of Nov 2000. Since
the death of my client in Nov, 2000, 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. More so, I have received official letters in
the last few weeks suggesting a likely proceeding for confiscation of his
abandoned personal assets in line with existing laws by the bank in which my
client deposited the sum of 8.370m GBP. The board of directors of the
company now adopted a resolution mandating me to provide his next of kin for
the payment of this deposit within the next 15 official working days or
forfeit the fund as an abandoned fund. The company had planned to invoke the
abandoned property decree of 1996 to confiscate the funds after the
expiration of the period given to me but after an investigation in the
finance company, I found out that some members of the company wants to
divert this fund into their private accounts for their own selfish interest
and only want, to use the excuse that since I am not able to provide a
confide kinship the claim, the fund should be made unserviceable. this
implies that means submitting the fund to the federal government of this
country which is not their main intentions.
By virtue of my closeness to the deceased and his immediate family, I am
very much aware of my client's financial standing. I do sincerely sympathize
the death of my client, but had thought it unprofitable for his funds to be
submitted to the federal government of this country and the finance company
where it is lodged. I have reasoned very, professionally of which I feel it
will be legally proper to present you as the next of kin of my deceased
client, which 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
contacted you for partnership, I was urged to contact you, and with your
consent to present you to the "DFS" finance as my late client's surviving
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, so that the proceeds of This Bank
Account valued at Eight Million Three Hundred and seventy Thousand British
Pounds Sterling only (8.370 million) can be paid to you following my
directions and guideline, before they get confiscated or declared
unserviceable to the bank where this huge deposit is lodged. Note that this
is legal, and 100% risk free since I have all vital documents that would be
requested by them and that would confer you the legal right to make this
claim. Therefore, to facilitate the immediate re profiling of this fund, you
need, first to contact me via my alternative email: mail@cortado.co.uk
address signifying your interest and as soon as I obtain your confidence, I
will immediately intimate you with the complete details as well as fax you
the documents, with which you are to proceed and I shall direct you on how
to put up an application to the bank.
Upon the receipt of your reply, I will send you by fax or E-mail the next
step to take. 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. I guarantee
that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect
you from any breach of the law. Please get in touch with me through my
alternative for better confidentiality and send to me your telephone and fax
numbers to enable us discuss further about this transaction. Like I said, I
require only a solemn confidentiality on this. Please let me have your
opinion as soon as possible for My contact number is +44 7031967201,and If
this proposal is acceptable by you, do not take undue advantage of the trust
I have bestowed in you, I await your urgent response.
Give me a call at your earliest convenience.
Sincerely,
Raymond Smith (Esq.)
