Hello,

Please do not be surprised on receiving this email. Though we might not have a personal relationship or have met each other, we could work together on this project I am about to introduce to you. First, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Michael Finucane(Barrister). Certain funds have been left behind by my late client, below are the details.

Being that she was my client, I was her confidant as she shared with me virtually everything about her business and family. I was her attorney for 13years and during that period I wrote her WILL and was also named as the executor.I am also aware due to our cordial relationship that she deposited Twelve Million Pounds with a bank in England that was not mentioned in her WILL. She told me about it and asked me to prepare a codicil to reflect the money.However before this could be completed, she had died.

After her death, funeral and subsequent execution of her WILL, I went into action to establish the information passed unto me by my client. My findings agreed with the information. At that point, I knew I had to do something to
move the funds out of the bank. Bearing at the back of my mind that I cannot do this alone, I have decided to contact you and seek your assistance and acceptance to be the next of kin to the estate.

Aside my humble self and you, the relationship manager (Account Officer) of my client knows about this. He was very helpful during my investigation. Through him I was able to see the deposit paper work of the money that
confirmed that there is no next of kin to the funds. It is necessary for us to move the money out of the bank on time before it will be regarded as sundry funds, which would give the bank the right to claim the money.

I cannot move the money in my name because she was my client and it could create suspicion. Her account officer also cannot do the same, hence the importance of your assistance. Have my assurance that there is nothing to fear about, as we also need your assurance that you would work with me with a high degree of honesty and sincererity to achieve our desired objective. The legal procedure is no problem for i would be responsible. Since the codicil was not ready before her death, a letter of administration without WILL would be secured from the probate office.With this letter I would personally apply on your behalf to the bank for the release of the funds to you.

Below is required from you to enable us achieve the above;
Names
Address
Date of Birth
Telephone and Fax numbers

Upon receipt of a confirmation of acceptance from you, a sharing ratio would be worked out between the three of us and communicated to you along with my telephone number.

Thanking you in anticipation for your co-operation.

Sincerely,
Michael Finucane.

Dear Scrub,

Good day, be informed that I have received your email. Though you have not made available the required information necessary to complete this transaction as requested in my previous email, I am obliged to elucidate more on this project of ours. This is essential for a proper understanding on your part, so that we can maximize this opportunity to achieve our desired objective, which is the successful completion of this deal.

When the required information has been received from you, which includes your address, telephone and fax number and date of birth, I will proceed to swear an affidavit on your behalf at the High court of Justice of Northern Ireland, because my client lived her life in Northern Ireland and died there. This affidavit would confirm that before the death of my client she told me in confidence that you were the next of kin to the funds and that she instructed me to prepare a codicil for her and before it could be ready for her to sign she had died, a copy of the unsigned codicil will be attached to the affidavit. To actually proof she was my client. A copy of the power of attorney given to me by her will also be attached to the affidavit.

After swearing the affidavit, I will use a copy to apply to the Probate Office in Northern Ireland to enable me secure the release of a grant of letter of administration that would confirm you as the beneficiary to the Twelve Million Pounds (GB£12Million) which is the amount to be transferred into your account. The letter of administration is same as a will; it is always used in situations like this when there is no will to an estate left behind by a deceased person. In contrast to a will it is not written by a lawyer, but prepared by the Probate based on substantiated evidence provided by the claimant. Upon approval it is binding and recognized as a legal and enforceable document.

Once this is completed and the letter of administration secured I will apply to the bank where the funds are, attaching a copy of the letter of administration, receiving this, the bank would carry out its verification with the probate and then approve your funds for payment. This entire process would certainly not take more than a week from when the affidavit is sworn to when the bank would approve the release of the funds to you. It is at this stage that the bank would establish communication with you in a view to paying you the money as the recognized next of kin to the inheritance. Therefore when you receive a contact from a bank in Europe as regards payment of a bequest of Twelve Million Pounds (GB£12Million) know that this is it; therefore be articulate and confident in dealing with them, so that we do not give away a great opportunity during dawn after dedicating so much time and energy to it.

We have agreed thus, that you shall have 35% of the money, the relationship manager (Account Officer) of my client being the inside man and who has helped in known great measure by providing me with important information required for the success of this transaction 25% and 40% for me. As regards the sharing ratio, this is the best we can go considering the time and money we are putting into this transaction. Swearing the affidavit is not free for stamp duties would be paid on it, securing the letter of administration would also cost money, aside stamp duties to be paid at the High Court a certain percentage of the entire bequest will also be paid to the probate department. This I would personally take upon myself to do so that the application can be filed and the funds released to you for our sharing. After you have received the money I would personally come over to your country, so that I can meet with you, thereafter provide you with my bank account for you to transfer a small part of my share into, there would be no problem receiving it, because of my profession, it would seem as if you are my client and you are paying me for services rendered for you, and that was why I said a small amount of my portion. The remainder would be invested in your country.

The Account officer would contact you after you have received the money on what he would want to do with his, he has not told me anything other than he would be contacting you when the funds have arrived your account. This transaction requires utmost confidentiality and trusts from all of us, a negation from the basis could be dangerous, I have trust in you; therefore do not let me down.

Take care and have a great day.

Sincerely,


Michael Finucane
