Dear Friend,
Let me start by introducing myself properly to you, My name is Barrister Brian Erasmus Cole. I got your contact information while searching for a last name similar to my late client, an expatriate engineer who worked with the Construction & Civil Engineering Company (ACCIONA-Eng.) in Spain for thirty years. He was born in Montreal Canada & he died as a result of a heart-related condition, which occurred on Sunday 21st December 2008. His heart condition was due to the lost of all members of his family during the Hurricane Katrina catastrophe, which occurred in United State of America on – August 29TH, 2005, during their August holiday.
Before his death, he deposited €4,500,000.00 (Four Million, Five Hundred Thousand Euro Only) with one of the security company here in Spain & the security company has issued me a notice to present the next of kin or any of the relatives, or the money will be declared unserviceable and the fund diverted to the Government treasury as unclaimed money. So far, all my efforts to get a hold of someone related to my client have proved abortive. The security company has mandated me to present any family heir/inheritor for claim before the fund gets confiscated or reverts to the Government Recovery Fund, as unclaimed money. So I decided to search for any of my late client’s relative which has been very difficult for me, as he did not declare any other person, address, partner or relatives in the official paper works of his deposit.
Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to my late client, and I know you may not be biologically related to him but since you both share the same last name, together with my position as his lawyer, I will now place your name as the next of kin/distance relative to my late client. Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried. But I am assuring you that all the legal documentations to back up your claim as my client’s Next of Kin, I shall provide, all I require is your honest cooperation to enable us achieve this goal. I will use my position as the late client’s attorney to guarantee the successful execution of this transaction that will assist your claims, and facilitate the release of the fund.
Note that this transaction is 100% risk free. There is no atom of risk in connection to this business as I have worked out all modalities to complete the transaction successfully. Once the fund is transferred into your account, I wish to point out that I want 10% of this money to be shared among the charity Organizations of our choice, while the remaining 90% is shared equally between us. Reply with your phone number via my email: [email protected] Please be kind to get back to me if you are not interested so that I can further my search for another partner.
Kindest Regards
Barrister Brian Erasmus Cole
