Dear Friend,
I am David Kent,a partner in LAWRIE SMITH ASSOCIATES, here in London and I am also a personal Attorney to the late Mr. Mathew E.Dixon. I got your contact through the help of my sister-in-law that works with the British/American Chambers of Commerce,though I did not disclose to her my humble intention for an honest foreigner like you, having noted the confidence reposed on your person by the sponsor of the recommendation.
My late client Mathew E.Dixon was a Excutive officer of {British Petroleum} for 15 years and he was retired on the 5th day of April 2006. However a month after his retirement, My client was involved in a car crash and died of Cardiac arrest on the way to the hospital.This was on 8th day of May 2006. Before his
death my client had a total sum of US$7,600,000.00 with a Finance House with the hope of transferring the fund to his country after his retirement but he never lived to carry out this plans.
For two years now I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives of this man and so have decided to seek other means to tranfer this funds. I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased. I agree to pay you 40% of the fund as the account owner, 60% would be for me. I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make. So please if you are interested in doing this with me respond to me via my personal email: kentd93@yahoo.co.uk, so we can discuss more on this. I do look forward to your propmt response.
Best regards
David Kent.
