Dear Friend,
I am Barrister Mathew Smith, a solicitor at law. I was the
personal attorney to Eng, John McPherson, a national of your country
who used to work with an oil servicing company in Paris, France. after
which be referred to as my client.
Eng, John McPherson 62 years of age made a fixed deposit of fund
valued at USD$14,500,000 (Fourteen Million, Five Hundred Thousand
United States Dollars Only) with a Security Company/Finance Firm here
in Europe and unfortunately lost his life in an Egyptian charter plane
Boeing 737 which crashed into the Red Sea early on January 3 shortly
after taking off from the resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, killing all the
135 passengers and 13 crew members aboard, Ref: (View:
http://english.people.com.cn/200401/04/eng20040104_131791.shtml). He
left no clear beneficiary as Next of Kin except some vital documents
related to the deposit still in my possession.
Recently, the governing body of the Security Company/Finance Firm
contacted me on this matter, requesting that I should notify the next
of kin of my late client to claim the funds and I am yet to provide
the Next of Kin to lay claims to the Fund. I know that my client had
no living next of kin but I went ahead and made several inquiries to
your embassy to locate any of my late clients extended relatives but
this has proved unsuccessful. Under a clear and legitimate agreement
with you, I seek your consent to present you as the next so that my
late client's fund will not be confiscated by the Security Company.
You and I can share the money, you will be entitled to 40% of the
total fund for your role as the relative and next of kin of my late
client, 50% for me while 10% is to be marked out for any expenses that
will be incurred during the clearance or process of transfer of the
fund to your bank account. Be informed that there is no risk involved
as all necessary legal documents that will be used to back you up as
the legal beneficiary and next of kin of my late client will be
procured.
All I require is your sincerity, honesty, co-operation and utmost good
faiths to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will
be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from
any breach of the law. Kindly, get in touch with me by my e-mail
(barrister_mathew_smith@yahoo.co.uk) or telephone to enable us discuss
further. You may also send your telephone number so that I can call
you. Do not forget that a transaction of this magnitude require utmost
confidentiality and sincerity. I look forward to your urgent response.
Thank you,
Barrister Mathew Smith
