Dear xxxxx yyyyyyy
I have no option but to contact you. I couldn't wait when I saw your contact as I was preparing a company feasibility studies.
My name is Jimmy Jones, a legal expert attached to Her Majesty's Treasury (HM Treasury) here in United Kingdom. I shall really like to discuss a deal with you, and I suppose you are in a better position to ensure its success. It's a deal that involves a substantial amount of money, and it will favour you and I if you accept the proposal. The more reason I need you is because you share the same SURNAME with my late client.
I just need your consent so that I can facilitate the transfer of this fund into your bank account. All plans and procedures are already in place and it is 100% risk-free.
This would be done under a legitimate arrangement that would protect you from any breach of the law. Hence all legal protocols shall be observed.
When you show interest in this deal, then I shall give you comprehensive information about the deal, its procedures and the master plan.
Best regards.
Dr Jimmy Jones
