Dearest in mind,
 
 
Before i proceed must first apologize for this unsolicited email to you. I am aware that this is certainly not a conventional way of approach to establish a relationship of trust, but you will realize the need for my action.

My name is Barr.David moya of the SUNPEX CHAMBERS LEGAL PRACTITIONERS, FINANCIAL SOLICITORS.

Actually, I got your contact information through the European public records of while searching for a reliable person to replace my late client Eng.

Morris Thompson an expatriate engineer who worked with the Mining and Smelting Company (Austrian de Zinc S.A.) in Spain for thirteen years.

He died along with his family during the Tsunami catastrophe, which occurred on Monday 27 December 2004.
 
Before his death, he deposited One Trunk Box/Diplomatic Personal Treasure, containing the sum of $8.752M (EIGHT MILLION AND SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY-TWO THOUSAND U.S. DOLLARS ONLY)

with a security company here in Spain, but he did not disclosed the content of deposited diplomatic consignment to the security company, for security reasons.

The security company has mandated me to present any family heir/inheritor for claim before the consignment gets confiscated or reverts to the Bureau of Diplomatic Security, as an unclaimed diplomatic immunity.
 
So I decided to search for any of my late client's relative which has been very difficult for me, as he did not declare any other person, address, partner or relatives in the official paper works of his diplomatic consignment deposit.
 
Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to deceased, so that the diplomatic consignment will be released to you.

With my position as his lawyer, I will now place your name as the next of kin to my late client. I will prepare every relevant document that will assist your claims, and facilitate the release of the consignment.
 
 
Note that this transaction is 100% risk free. There is no atom of risk in connection to this business as I have worked out all modalities to complete the transaction successfully.

Once the diplomatic consignment is released to you, we shall share in the ratio of 60% for me, 40% for you as your benefit.
 
Reply via my private email address or you can call me for further clarification. Please be kind to get back to me if you are not interested so that I can further my search for another partner.
 
 
Best Regards
 
BARR.DAVID MOYA (ESQ.)
MASTER OF CHAMBERS.
