Subject: TRUST PROPOSITION==========Loraine Webber
After these several unsuccessful attempts to locate his real relatives,I decided to contact you since you have the same last name with my late client. I have contacted you to assist in repartrating the fund valued at US$8.5 million left behind by my client before it gets confisicated or declared
unserviceable by the Security Finance Firm where this huge amount were deposited.
The said Security Finance Company has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have his account confisicated within the next twenty one official working days. Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over 2years now, I seek the consent to present you as the next of kin
to the deceased since you have the same last names, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you.
Therefore, on receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss the sharing ratio and modalities for transfer.I have all necessary information and legal documents needed to back you up for claim.
All I require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
I await your respond.
