Subject: Hello...
Hello and Compliments of the day to you.
I must solicit your confidentiality and assure you that I am contacting
you in good faith and this proposal that I bring to you will be of
mutual benefit to both you and I. My name is Mr.David Spencer (ESQ) a legal
practitioner here in London and I am privileged to be the Legal
Adviser/Personal Attorney to my late Client,an Australian national.
However, I wish to inform you that my late client died intestate as a
result of a ghastly auto crash in 2006 which involved his entire family,
In the process of review in my search for his relative, I got your
contact information through an international directory, hence I contacted
you so that I can give you further briefing on my intention and how to
disburse the estate left behind by my late client before his death more
especially a huge deposit of Eight Million Great British Pounds
Sterling(£8,000,000) made in a security company here in London in 2004.
I will give you further details on how we shall proceed in disbursing
these funds if you are interested.
I await your urgent response.
Best regards,
David Spencer Esq.
