Subject: RE: FULFILLING THE WILL
RE: FULFILLING THE WILL
My name is David Adams a practicing lawyer in the United Kingdom.
I want to seek your candid collaboration in handling a business venture
that I feel would be mutually beneficial to you and I May I ask your
permission to present you as a beneficiary to the will of one of my
trusted clients? My client and his whole family members where involved in
the Sharja air crash on the 25th of July 2004.
Since after this unfortunate incidence I have not been able to locate
any member of his family to be presented to his bank for claims of his
deposit as the law permits. It is now about time the government of the
United Kingdom convert the money to hers.
On receipt of your response in affirmation of your willingness to work
with me I will send to you full details and more information about
myself and the said funds for your better understanding.
As I am yet to get your consent on this issue, I prefer not to divulge
my full identity so as not to risk being publicized, which consequence
is detrimental.
I will prefer we communicate for now via email. Subsequently telephone
and fax correspondence would be entertained. However if you would want
a brief chat, my personal email address is:
nigagric@indiatimes.com
nigagric1@indiatimes.com
Yours sincerely
David Adams
