About Late Bernard's Estate,

 
My name is Anthony W. Blair. I am contacting you regarding the estate (Mr. Bernard's estate). I 
used to be late Bernard's personal attorney/friend. He was a consultant/contractor with a leading 
firm for oil project and cost management consultants in Iraq, Kuwait & UK. He is late now (May his 
soul rest in peace).
 
Late Engr Bernard died in a bomb blast in 2006 in Turkey. His unfortunate death left a lot of 
confusion around his financial status which till date has not yet been resolved. Been a native of 
Hungary residing here in the UK, I was not fully aware of his family before his death as they did 
not reside here with him. I have made efforts to track down his family members without any luck. I 
am afraid now that his estate will be confiscated by the UK government in future since he died 
without leaving a will or a beneficiary to his estate except otherwise. But this of course will 
take at least four years from now and if no one comes to make claims, then the government can claim 
it.
 
I am most concerned with a certificate that late Bernard gave me. My former client told me of a 
diamond business which he had done and left me in care of the CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT which he used 
to lodge some funds in a finance firm. The certificate in question does not have a next of kin name 
filled in it. I have made my investigations and I can confidently say that since his death, no one 
has come to lay claims of it.
 
PROPOSITION:
My proposition to you is that I now seek your permission to have you stand as the beneficiary/next 
of kin to the deposit. We can achieve this sole aim legitimately and that is the whole essence of 
life. I believe this move is justified as I am not sure what will become of this deposit should 
this information get into the wrong hands or left alone. My guess is that the company where it is 
lodged will confiscate it.
 
CONDITION:
Please furnish me at once, a notice of acceptance, direct Telephone and fax numbers. We would 
engage in a two way split of the deposit. If this is acceptable by you, please endeavour to Contact 
me immediately.
 

Regards,
Anthony. W. Blair.
