Dear Friend,
I am Kate Baron, the private attorney to Robert Fitzpatrick, an American who was a consultant with Shell UK LTD here in London, who shall be referred to as my client. Unfortunately, my client lost his life on Boeing Egypt Air Flight 990, which crashed into the Atlantic Ocean on October 31st, 1999, and left no clear beneficiary as Next of Kin except for some vital documents related to the deposit still with me.
All efforts by me to trace his Next of Kin proved unsuccessful because he did not make any will before his death. Since then I have made several inquiries to locate any of my late clients' extended relatives and this has proved unsuccessful. After my several unsuccessful attempts to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you.
I am contacting you to assist in claiming the money left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unclaimed by the security company where this huge sum was deposited. Particularly, the finance company where the deceased had the said fund valued at 11 Million dollars has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin.
Consequent upon this, my idea is that we can have a deal/agreement and I am going to do this legally with your name as the bonafide beneficiary of the amount in question as I have all legal documents to back our claim, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at $11 Million US dollars can be paid to your account abroad. Note that 40% of this money will be for you, concerning the provision of a foreign account, and 50% for me, 10% will be used for the reimbursement of any expenditure we may incur in the cause of the transaction.
I pledge that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law, all I need from you is your utmost alliance and sincerity for us to flourish in this deal. Please get back to me if you are ready to assist me.
Best Regards,
Kate Baron.
