Dear Beneficiary,

I am Fred Askia, an attorney and solicitor with Freedom Chambers. Please be patient and absorb the contents of this email which I believe is a message that will be beneficial to the both of us.

I am the legal representative to Late Joseph OLGA ,a RUSSIAN national who herein after shall be referred to as my late client. Who died along with his wife in March 2006 as a result of car crash. Until his death he was a contractor with Shell Petroleum.

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 $7.5million dollars was deposited.

I have a mandate from the bank to present the next of kin to the deceased or the funds will be confiscated and so far, all my efforts to get hold of someone related to this man has proved abortive.

I want you to consider this proposal. If you grant your consent that I present you to the bank as the next-of-kin and beneficiary of my deceased client since you share the same surname as my late client,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.

This entire process will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.

However, if this business proposition offends your moral values, do accept my apology. Please contact me at once to indicate your interest.

Best Regards,

Fred Askia(Esq)

I telephoned another firm which occupies offices at the same address and there is no Freedom Chambers at that address, nor are Mr Askia and his firm listed by the Law Society.

Good detective work, Nick. I'm sure most of these scammers use false addresses and other details.
