Mr. Paul R. Smith
London-UK

Hello My Friend,

REQUEST FOR URGENT AND BENEFICIAL ASSISTANCE.

This letter must come to you as a surprise, but I believe that it takes just a contact for people to meet and become great friends and business partners. This is a personal and private letter directed to you and I request that it be treated as such.

My name is Paul R. Smith, a Retired Financial Consultant. I was the personal Financial Advisor to the late Eng. Norio Kawamura, a Japanese-American hereafter referred to as 'My late Client'. He was a successful Businessman here in The United Kingdom but died in a car crash along with his immediate family members on the 21st of December 2002. Shortly after his death I was directed by his bank to locate any of his extended relatives whom shall be claimant / beneficiary of his fixed deposit account with the bank valued at £10 Million Great British Pounds (Approximately 16.3 Million US Dollars). I tried my best to locate any of his family members but all such efforts were not successful. I also sought the assistance of the American and Japanese Embassies here in London in locating any of his relatives without any luck.

My worry now is that proceedings for forfeiture of this fund to the British Government in line with enabling laws will be initiated if no Next of Kin came forward to claim the fund by 21st of December this year (2013.) And considering the amount of fund involved and the wasteful use it will be put to should this happen, I decided to urgently search for a credible, and trustworthy person to Partner with in diverting this fund so as to put it to a judicious and useful use. I propose that the total fund be shared 60% for me and 40% for you at the conclusion of transfer to your account.

To commence the process of claim/transfer of this fund to your designated bank account, you need firstly signify your interest by contacting me via e-mail and then I will give you full details on gaining your confidence. I want to assure that there are no risks involved as all steps involved in achieving a smooth transfer of this fund to your account will be legally followed.

Do note that I have with me, copies of the original documents to the fixed deposit account needed to give credence and legitimacy to the claim. The documents were entrusted with me by my late client, Kawamura days after making the fixed deposit, so you need not entertain any fears. Also note that successful transfer of the Fund to your nominated account can be achieved within 14 Banking days of signifying your interest. Like I said, I require only a solemn confidentiality on this. Please, include your Private and confidential Phone numbers (preferably Mobile) in your reply.

Best regards,



Paul R. Smith.
