Dear DSD,
I am Albert Yan, a legal practitioner. Please be patient and absorb the contents of this email which I believe will be beneficial to the both of us. I am the legal representative to Late Julius, who herein after shall be referred to as my late client; Julius died in March 2006 as a result of acute myocardial infarction (heart condition).
Basically, my aim of writing you is to assist me secure the funds left behind by my client before it is confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this fund valued at USD4.8million is deposited.
I have a mandate from the bank to present the next of kin to the deceased otherwise the funds will be confiscated and so far, all my efforts to contact anyone related to this man has proved abortive.
I want you to kindly consider this proposal as If you grant your consent I will present you to the bank as the next-of-kin and beneficiary of my deceased client (since you have the same last name), so that the proceeds of this account can be transferred to you, then we can share the entire proceeds on a mutually agreed-upon percentage.
All legal documentation to back up your claim as my deceased client's next-of-kin will be provided. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through within two weeks.
I have been an attorney at law for 19years and I want to assure you that the entire process will be executed under a legitimate process that will protect you from any breach of the law. However, if this business proposition offends your moral values, do accept my sincere apology.
Please contact me at once to indicate your interest.
Best Regards,
Albert Yan Esq.
I've heard of these scams before, but I've never yet had the pleasure to chuckle at them in person.
