The Beneficiary,
Estate of Engr. Brian Thomas.
I wish to notify you that I like to enlisted you as a beneficiary to
the bequest of some funds in US dollars [Amount to be disclosed
later] in the codicil and last testament of my deceased Client. The
late Mr.Brian Thomas until his death was a former Managing Director
and pioneer staff of a big construction company in China and later
invested in poultry farm and rice.
He established himself as a wealthy farmer in Asia where he exported
rice and other poultry produce. He was a very dedicated man and a
great philanthropist during his lifetime. He involved himself in
helping people by giving invest able loans in agriculture and health
care ventures. Late Mr.Brian Thomas died on 9th March 2010 at the age
of 78. He has since been buried on the 23rd of March 2014. He was a US
citizen, lived in Asia all through his active years but later moved
down to London UK due to long-term illness where he died in a
specialist hospital. He was married but without a child and lost his
wife in 1986 due to breast cancer.
He said in his words as stated in his last testament that "it is my
desired wish to see that the poor and less privileged are given
assistance by any means and limit this token could go, especially in
Asia, Africa and South America having seen it all myself.
Please be informed that if the said amount is unclaimed over a period
of time, the bank will in turn confiscate the money, you know quite
well that the bank willuse the funds to pay their fat executives bonus
leaving the poor masses suffering.
He therefore advised that 20% of the proceeds be used for charity
annually, while 80% be retained by the beneficiary for his efforts, In
my next email I will explain to you how the 80% will be utilized.
I will also like to bring to your notice that this transaction is
not a scam and its risk free, I have all necessary information to back
you up and will lead you all through this process, my next email will
also direct you to the holding company ie the firm that hold the funds
in question.
