Hi,
In as much as there has not being any correspondence between us, I will appreciate it if you take to read this all important email. On behalf of the Trustees and Executor of the estate of Late George, my late client who died here in my Malaysia after suffering from myocardial infarction, I am Mohd Hisham, a Malaysian attorney at law. My late client died leaving behind a large sum of money to the tune of twelve million nine hundred United States dollars.
My reason for contacting you is because you have the same family name as my late client as I will need your assistance to secure the above mentioned financial estate else the government will declare the funds unservicable and that will be a shame. All attempts to find anyone related to my late client proved futile.
I have a mandate from the bank to present the next-of-kin to the deceased or the funds will be confiscated. Furthermore I have received two notifications from the bank till date and I moved to take initiative.
I want you to consider this proposal. If you grant your consent that I present you to the bank as the next-of-kin and beneficiary of my deceased client (since you have the same last name), so that the proceeds of this account can be transferred to you, then we can share the entire proceeds on a mutually agreed-upon percentage. All legal documentation to back up your claim as my deceased client's next-of-kin will be provided. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through.
Should my proposal offend you or contradict your moral ethics, I apologize. Should you be interested and wish to help, do reply to me and we can discuss our plan of action, kindly get back to me via email.
Regards,
Mohd Hisham
