Dear Friend,
I know this way of communication is not the most secured channel to pass a message of this importance but right now, it is the quickest means available to me, please bear with me.My name is Barrister Godwin Peter, an Attorney at Law.
This involves a foreign client of mine, who here in after shall be referred to as my client, who died as a result of heart-related condition on November, 2004.I have contacted you to assist in transferring the money left behind by my client before it is confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Bank where this deposit valued at 6.7million dollars is lodged.
This Bank has issued me a notice to contact the next of kin, or the account will be confiscated.My proposition to you is to seek your consent to present you as the next-of-kin and beneficiary of my late client, since you have the same last name, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you. Then we can share the amount on a mutually agreed-upon percentage.
All legal documents to back up your claim as my client's next-of-kin will be provided.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through.Please contact me at once to indicate your interest.
Do understand that this transaction does require utmost confidence and you should keep this mail to yourself not withstanding if you are rejecting the transaction or accepting it.Note that I reserve the right to reject your acceptance of this proposal if I have reasons to believe that you may not be honest or discrete as it concerns this proposal.Further details will be given as soon as your interest is indicated.
