Attention:
On behalf of the Trustees and Executor of the estate of Late Engr. Jurgen Krugger. I once again try to notify you as my earlier letter was
returned undelivered. I hereby attempt to reach you again by this same email address on the WILL. I wish to notify you that late Jurgen Krugger
made you a beneficiary in his WILL. He left the sum of Thirty Million, One Hundred Thousand Dollars (USD$30, 100,000.00) to you in the Codicil
and last testament to his WILL.
This may sound strange and unbelievable to you, but it is real and true. Being a widely travelled man, he said he met you sometime in the past
or simply you were nominated to him by one of his numerous friends abroad who wished you good, I am not too sure again. Jurgen Krugger until his
death was a member of the Helicopter Society and the Institute of Electronic & Electrical Engineers and a German property magnate. He was a very
dedicated christian who loved to give out alms to the poor,hungry and needy. His great philanthropy earned him numerous awards during his life time.
Late Jurgen Krugger died on the 13th of December,2004 and his WILL is now ready for execution after 4 years of thorough investigations.
According to him, this money is to support your humanitarian/medical activitiesand to help the poor and the needy in our society. Please if I reach
you as I am hopeful, endeavor to get back to me as soon as possible to enable me
conclude my job. I hope to hear from you in no distant time.
For further correspondence, please email me on my personal email: d.smith43esq@live.com
I await your prompt response and please keep this very discrete until the transfer of the funds to you is finalised.
Yours in Service,
David Smith Esq.
Principal Partner.
