Dear Friend,
First of all I want you to know that this is not a scam mail. Because
base on what is going on all over the Internet in the world people find
it very difficult to believe things like this any more. If you can
guarantee me your trust and honesty I will be able to work with you, I
will appreciate if you can visit my country and see thing for your
self before i Proceed, and this will make thing clearer for you.
I am Rita Spencer esq., a solicitor at law. I am the personal
attorney/sole executor to the WILL of late client’ who worked as an
independent oil Business magnate in my country and who died in a car
Crash with his immediate family on the 5th of Nov 2004. Since the death
of my client in Nov 2004,I have written several letters to the embassy
with intent to locate any of his extended relatives whom shall
beclaimants/ beneficiaries of his abandoned Funds and all such efforts
have been to no avail.
After the transaction has been accomplished 40% will be for the person
involve, 10% for miscellaneous expenses and the remaining 50% for me.
Please if you feel interested, I crave your indulgence to please
contact me through this my email address. As I have said earlier, I
want you know that this is not a scam mail, all I need is your help
and support so that we can both carry out this project. I decided to
contact you so that we can talk and see how we can both put heads
together and achieve this.
On this note, I wish to present you to the finance company, as the
surviving relative to the decease so that we can put in claims for
payment with your name as the beneficiary of the fund.
I will appreciate if you can send me the following;
1.Your Full Names
2.Your current Mobile telephone and fax numbers
3.Your age
4.Occupation
5.Your Current address
This will enable me file necessary documents at our high court probate
division for the release of this sum of money in your favor. I intend
to invest my shares in your country under your management in any
viablebusiness venture. I will send you more details as soon as I
heard from you.
Yours faithfully
Barr.Rita Spencer esq.
