email titled \"Michael\"...he insinuates that he is an attorney and wants to present me as \"next of kin\"

REQUEST /BUSINESS
This business proposal is confidential one and I request that it be treated as such. It is specifically directed to you and I must solicit your Confidentiality
on it. I assure you that I am contacting you in good faith and this proposal will be of mutual benefit to us. I am Michael Nemeth a solicitor at law. I am
the personal attorney/executor to a deceased client of my chambers who shares a similar surname with you, who was an independent oil magnate in my
country, but died in a car crash with his family on the 8th of October 2006. The accident occurred in East London.
My late client, a former Reservoir Engineer with Marathon Oil Corporation here in the United Kingdom and had Left behind a deposit of Thirteen
Million Four Hundred Thousand British Pounds Sterling only (Â£13.4million) with a bank. After the death of my client, the Bank contacted me, as his
attorney to provide his Next of kin who should inherit his fortune; this according to them is their policy in sure circumstances.
Since the death of my client, I have written several letters to the embassy with the intent to locate any of his extended relatives whom shall be
claimants/beneficiaries of his abandoned personal estate and all such efforts have been to no avail. I had to inform the Bank about my fruitless effort in
locating my late client close relative or His next of kin.
The Board of directors of the Bank just adopted a resolution and I was mandated to provide his next of kin for the payment of this money within the next
15 official working days or forfeit the money as an abandoned funds. The Bank had planned to invoke the abandoned property Act of the Bank to
confiscate the funds after the expiration of the period given me. Also I have received official letters in the last two days suggesting a likely proceeding for
confiscation of his abandoned personal assets in line with existing laws of the institution.
Well I have reasons very professional and I can use a legal means to present a next of kin of my deceased client. This is legally possible and would be
done in accordance with the laws of the land. On this note I decided to search for a credible person and finding that you bear a similar last name, I was
urged to contact you, that I may, with your consent, present you to the \"Trustee\" as my late client\'s family member, so as to enable you put up a claim to
the bank in that capacity as a next of kin of my client.
I find this possible for the fuller reasons that you are of the same nationality and you bear a similar last name with my late client making it a lot easier for
you to put up a claim in that capacity. I have all vital documents that would confer on you the legal right to make this claim and would make them
available to you so that the proceeds from this bank account valued at Â£13.4million can be paid to you before it gets confiscated or declared unserviceable
to the bank where this huge amount is lodged.
I do sincerely sympathize on the death of my client but think it is unprofitable for his funds to be submitted to the government of this country or some
financial institution. My aim is to retrieve these funds and let it be claimed by the deceased family Lineage, etc. for this I seek your assistance since I
have been unable to locate the relatives for the past 7 years now
I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you have the same last name giving you the advantage, so that the proceeds of
this account can be paid to you and then both of us can share the money, 60% to me and 40% to you. I know there might be other persons out there with
the same surname as my late client, but after a little check my instinct told me to contact you. Can I trust you on this? I shall assemble all the necessary
documents that will be used to back up your claim.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. I will not fail to bring to your
notice that this proposal is hitch-free and that you should not entertain any fears as the required arrangements have been made for the completion of this
transfer.
Like I said, I require only a solemn confidentiality on this and if this proposal is acceptable by you, send your telephone and fax numbers to me to enable
us discuss further on this transaction and do not take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed in you
Thanks for your understanding.
Regards, Michael Nemeth
