Subject: DEAR BELOVED FRIEND.
From: Barrister HARVEY SOUTHFIELD
Ref: RS/218-22/4C
Greetings for the Day. It is good to be in contact with you even
though this medium of communication (internet) has been grossly abused
by criminal minded people making it difficult for people with genuine
struggle to correspond and exchange views without skepticism.
My name is Barrister Harvey Southfield, Senior lawyer in Clapham Law
Chambers and Solicitors based in London, I was searching for a similar
name on your country’s Government Data Base, through the internet,
when i came across yours which prompted me to contact you.
I believe you will read this carefully and understand with me, As this
will be of a benefit to both of us.I am personal attorney to the
deceased client who share similar last name with you.
My late client who share similar last name with you had a wife named
Brenda and two children, daughter named Sheila 10 years and son named
Bryan 16 years.
My late client was trapped dead alongside his wife and daughter on a
collapsed building June 7, 2010 built by one of the construction
company here in London not long ago.
The son who only survived then in the family had gone to school on that day.
After the tragedy the construction company pleaded guilty of breaching
the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007.
Bryan been the only survived member of the family then was compensated
with £7.852,000.00 Gbps (Seven million Eight hundred and fifty-two
thousand Great Britain pounds), And was deposited in a bank here in
London under my guardian.
Unfortunately on the 4th of January 2011, Bryan the only son died in
the hospital after
suffering from Cancer of the blood. Since the death of Bryan there is
no one to inherit the money, base on the fact that every member of the
family are all dead.
The late father from Estonia and late mother from Fiji, both of them
were orphans and they had no trace or relatives here in London.
I have reason, very professional and I can use a legal means to
present a next of kin of my deceased client. This is legally possible
and would be done in accordance with the laws.
On this note I decided to search for a credible person and finding
that you bear a similar name, I was urged to contact you, that I may,
with your consent, present you to
the “Trustee” as my late client’s family members to enable you put up
a claim to the bank in that capacity as a next of kin of my late
client.
I have all vital documents that would confer you the legal right to
make this claim and would make them available to you so that the
proceeds of this bank account valued at £7.852,000.00 can be paid to
you before it gets confiscated by the bank where this huge amount is
lodged.
For this I seek your consent and assistance to present you as the next
of kin of the deceased since I have been unable to locate the
relatives for the past four years now, so that the proceeds of this
account can be paid to you and then both of us can share the money,
50% to me and 50% to you.
I know there might be other persons out there with the same similar
name as my late client, and after a little check my instinct tells me
to contact you.
Can I trust you on this? I shall assemble all the necessary documents
that will be used to back up your claim.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of law. I will not fail to bring
to your notice that this proposal is hitch-free and that you should
not entertain any fears as the required arrangements have been made
for the completion of this transfer.
If this offer is acceptable by you, please reply direct to my email
([email protected]) don’t forget to add your telephone
contact in your reply to my email, and Note this proposal is very
confidential.
Best Regards,
[HARVEY SOUTHFIELD]
