Greetings....
My name is Leng shekMooi. I am working with the reputable
legal firm here in my country.
I am contacting you because you share the last name with my late client whose
name I withheld for security reasons, He was a personal client of mine
and I managed all his legal affairs.
As of today, I stand as a true custodian to the cash deposit which he
made in a Finance House.
I am faced with the task of getting someone with your matching profile
who can be permitted to claim the fund.
The amount deposited is Valued at $7.5Million Dollars the Finance Firm
is ready to release the money to whoever I present as the true beneficiary
and next-of-kin to my late client.
Hence my late client accorded me with a letter of Authority (Power of Attorney)
duly endorsed in My High Court of Justice when he made the deposit,
to act on his behalf in times of his absence and inability to act and
I was his legal advising counselor on the deposit and other issues.
The finance firm where my client deposited the fund currently demands
that I quickly provide a beneficiary for the fund because the deposit
duration has expired and needs a renewal or withdrawal from their company
otherwise it will be handed over to the government.
This is the reason that I decided to contact and do this deal with you so
that we can get the money out whether you are truly related to my late client or not.
If you feel we can sign out the funds together quickly send me your
names in full, your contact address, your contact telephone number and I
will call you to give you further details of the deal and send you the
relevant transaction documents.
And as soon as the fund gets accross to your end,I will fly down to meet you
in your country for sharing on a mutually agreed %tage.
Your swift response is anticipated to enable me darft the documents related to
this transaction.
Note:No risk is involved as I will stand fully to defend any questions
that may arise.
Regards,
Leng Shek Mooi
