Subject: Kindly handle this matter with utmost confidentiality
With warm heart I offer my friendship, and greetings, and I hope this
message meets you in good time. However strange or surprising this
contact might seem to you as we have not met personally or had any
dealings in the past, I humbly ask that you take due consideration of
its importance and the immense benefit it will be to You. After
careful consideration, I resolved to contact your assistance in this
manner.
I am David Clark from United Kingdom; I have a client who bears the
same Name with you, his wife and their three children were involved in
a car accident and all occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost
their lives.
Since then I have made several inquiries to your Embassy to locate any
of my client's extended family and relatives, this has also proved
unsuccessful. After several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace
his relatives over the internet, to locate any member of his but to no
avail, hence I contacted you. I have contacted you to assist me in
repatriating the money left behind by my late client before they get
confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Finance House where these
huge deposits were lodged. Particularly, the Finance House where the
deceased had a Fund valued about Twenty Million Pounds
only(20,000,000.00) have issued me a notice to provide the next-of-
kin or have the Fund confiscated within the next Twenty one official
working days.
I seek your consent to present you as the Trustee to the deceased so
that the proceeds of these funds valued about Twenty Million pounds
only (20,000,000.00) can be paid to you for investment purpose and
then you and I can split the estate investment profit equally. I will
work out all the necessary legal documents that can be used to back up
this claim, all I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see
this transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under
a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the
law.
As soon as I receive an acknowledgement on this, I shall draft a
notarized letter of trustee in your favor, dully establishing and
confirming you as the appointed trustee. In order for me to
successfully draft the trustee authorization letter, I will need the
following from you; full names, address, contact phone numbers and ID
card.
I await your email response and be free to respond to my email with
whatever clarification that is needed.
Yours Sincerely,
Barrister David Clark
