This is a personal email directed to you and I implore that it be treated as such. I must solicit your Consent and assure you that I am contacting you in good faith and this proposal will be of mutual benefit. I Austin Reed (Counsel), represented the Late Craig (my client) who, until his death worked as an oil explorer in East London, United Kingdom. He died in a car crash with his immediate family on the 14th day of February, 2011 at the age of 57 years.

Late Craig who has done major Oil exploration also had dealings in Real Estate around United Kingdom and The United States of America. He lived most of his years in London but traveled often to the United States of America for Business. He left behind a deposit of One Million Two Hundred And Fifty Thousand British Pounds Sterling (£1,250,000.00) with United Bank for Africa (UK) Limited. The funds had remained unused over a nine year period of time during which there has been a stretch of accrued interest on the principal deposit. The interest has been set at 5% per annum which is relatively calculated as a total of £562,500(9yr period) which should be added to the principal. The sum total will now be a total of £1,812,500 British pounds.

After the death of my client, the Finance Company contacted me as his Private Attorney to solicit the availability of a "next of kin" in order to process the claim of his/her inherited funds.

Since the death of my client, I have written several letters to the embassy with intent to locate any of my late client's extended relatives who would engage the redemption of this funds as beneficiary to the deposited funds. I had informed the Finance Company about my fruitless effort in locating his close relatives or his next of kin.

The Board of Directors of this Finance Company has recently adopted a resolution and I was given 15 official working days to locate the next of kin to Late Craig's regarding the claim of his/her inheritance or forfeit the fund as abandoned funds. The Finance Company had planned to invoke the abandoned property decree on the company to confiscate this funds after the expiration of this period given to me. I also have received official letters suggesting the likelihood of legal proceedings for confiscation of this abandoned personal assets in line with existing laws of the institution.

I have decided to search for a credible person that bears a similar last name. In my search using the search engines, I found a lot of persons with the same last name as my late client but I was urged to contact you that I may with your consent, present you as a kin to my late client so as to enable you put up a claim to the bank in that capacity.

I do sincerely sympathize the death of my client but I think it is unprofitable for his funds to be submitted to the Government of the United Kingdom or some Financial Institutions for confiscation. My primary aim is to ensure that the funds are directed to those who mostly would need the money for poverty alleviation. For this I seek your assistance since I have been unable to locate the relatives for some time now.

I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you have the same last name as an advantage. Upon the success of the redemption, the money will now be shared by both of us by invoking the principle of shared responsibility. The question is, Can I trust you for us to do this? I shall assemble all the necessary documents that will be used to back up your claim.

Greed should be eliminated as half the proceeds will be enough to set up a middle class like me. Although all the funds will have to be dispatched to you, be mindful that I will be notified as at when the transfer is being effected to you after all the protocols have been observed. I have thought about it very cautiously and i propose 50% to you while I get 50% on the share of the proceeds. I insist on this percentage because i will use my chamber's legal facilities to solicit the procurement of the requirements for the dispatch exercise. I vouch to corroborate your attestation in support of your claim using our chambers and providing you with an official profiling as a valid family member of the deceased.

Like I said, I require only a Sincere consent on this. Please get in touch with me for better confidentiality and send me your telephone numbers to enable us discuss further on this transaction. If this proposal is acceptable by you, do not take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed in you. Kindly get back to me if you are willing to go ahead or not so that I can give you the contact of this Finance Company where this fund is lodged and inform you on how we can proceed.

Hope to hear from you pretty soon.

Best regards,
Austin Reed (Esq)
