Subject: INFORMATION
Greetings,
I am a lawyer by profession from Spain and my name is William
Steinberg, owner – founder of BUFETE W. D. STEINBERG SL. I got
your contact information while searching public records for
someone with a surname similar to my late client who died since
6th Feb, 2013 leaving the sum of €20,860,455.00 in an investment
bank here in Spain.
The bank have informed me many times to introduce a next of kin
to claim the Legacy of my late client. After relentless efforts
these past years, I confirmed unfortunately my late client has no
relative being the only child of his late parents. Since you both
shares the same surname; also with my position as his lawyer, and
having been in contact with the office of the probate, I
therefore solicit your consent/cooperation to present you to the
bank as the rightful ”next of kin/beneficiary”. This
application will be supported with relevant documents that will
assist your claim and facilitate the release of the funds to you
as the rightful beneficiary.
I would suggest a sharing formula of 50% to me and 50% to you,
with all expenses inclusive on both sides. This shall form the
basis of our agreement.
This transaction is 100% legal and we shall follow the guidelines
of the law. Get back to me so I can keep you informed as we
proceed.
Yours sincerely,
William D. Steinberg, B.A. (Distinction), J.D.
