Subject: A legitimate arrangement that would legally protect you...
Attention: Im Robert Paulson, expert in corporate and legal claims; Im a partner at Robert & Brooks Associates. I am contacting you in regards to a deceased client of mine,Mr Kevin Ash (Aged 53)who died in an auto accident in George, Western Cape, South Africa in March 2013, he was a prominent client of mine. Before his death, my client deposited Forty Five Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars at the vault of a financial institution here in South Africa; documentations regarding this transaction indicate that claims can only be made by his relative/ family member. Unfortunately he had no will at the time of his death. All efforts made revealed no link to any of his family member. However, the New South African law of succession/claims/fund indicates a duration in which such claims could be tolerated. The financial institution have mandated me to present the next of kin or a relative who will claim the funds and Failure to respond to this ultimatum would legally allow the financial institute to report this funds to the central bank of EU as unclaimed funds(Lack of supersede). I have put in place all necessary requirements concerning the release of this funds and It is my intention to introduce this opportunity to you as the beneficiary. Please note that Im legally equipped with all necessary information/documentations concerning this fund. Upon your decision of acceptance, I would process the release of these funds to your possession; you would be entitled to 40% of the said funds and 60% for me. For time difference and confidential reasons, I strongly advise that you firstly contact me via email. Immediately you get in touch with me, I would be able to inform you on how this could be concluded. Its been my wish to have an investment outside my country, so this is an opportunity for me to invest my share of these funds in your country. In conclusion, its my concern to demand your ultimate honesty, co-operation and confidentiality to enable us conclude this transaction. I GUARANTEE that this process would be executed under a legitimate arrangement that would legally protect you from any breach of aw. Robert Paulson LLB
