All legal documents to back up your claim as my client's next-of-kin will be provided.All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through.
This will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from many breach of the law.If this business proposition offends your moral values,do accept my apology.

Dear Barrister Wong Fong,

My name is Willard Fong, I am an American, of Chinese Heritage.

This sounds interesting, and I hope you will forgive me for a delay in responding, but I am now at my workplace, and this computer is not secure. I do not want my co-workers to know anything about this, or they will want to join into the deal, and you stressed confidentiality.

I will contact you again in a few hours, when I can use my own computer. I hope this is satisfactory.

May your ancestors rest in perfect harmony in the skies.

How are you doing and your family?
All I need now is your cooperation to file in your name as the next of kin because in the record there is no known successor to this deposit of the deceased who died without a will and based on the situation at hand due to time constraint, if this fund is not claimed the government will seize this fund. All documents relating to this transaction will be given to you as we progress.

I want this done so that I can use a good part of my share for helping the poor and the needy and for charity works. You shall receive 45% for your assistance.
However, I must assure you that this transaction is safe and all modalities is in place to ensure that this is done in a legitimate way without a single breach of law. Based on your maximum cooperation, we will finalise this transaction within ten working days.
I shall require from you , your FULL NAME and CONTACT ADDRESS WITH NUMBERS to start the process of claim in this regard.
Again I guarantee that all is under control and you have nothing to worry about, Just grant to me your full cooperation and keep this transaction close at heart.
Call me on my direct line +60122442893 for more details.
Sincerely yours,

Wong Fong
Willard Fong
Honorable Barrister,

In your first mail, you said the amount is:

"...valued at Seventeen million five hundrend dollars (US$17.5 million dollars) is lodged..."

Which is it? 17 million five hundred dollars, (written $17,000,500.00)

or $17.5 million dollars, (spelled out 'Seventeen million, Five Hundred THOUSAND dollars')

Which amount are we talking about? This discrepancy amounts to nearly half a million dollars, and my share of this money would be $225,000, nothing to sneeze at. I am sure you can understand my concern.

May your ancestors rest in perfect harmony in the skies.

Your humble servant, Willard Fong

P.S. I tried to contact you at the telephone number you provide, but there is something wrong with your service.

REGARDS WONG FONG
Willard Fong
Dear Wong Fong,

I have not heard from your barrister Shafiq in 8 days. since the 17th of March, but that is no matter, as my esteemed Uncle Long Fong is a guest in my home since 10 days, since the funeral of our relative.

I fear that Shafiq may be suspicious of me, Because I am on to him. The longer he delays, the more certain of him I am. Did you tell him that I am concerned that he is a supporter of terrorists?

Now that he does not write to me, after I send him information about me, I think maybe he is going to come and kill me, or have somebody else come to kill me. If that is the case, I will have a surprise for him, that is certain!

Now you write, and ask me this:

"...HOW FAR YOU HAVE GONE WITH BARRISTER BAHARUDIN SHAFIQ (S.A.M) ON THE PROCESSMENT..."

I cannot "go far" with your barrister Shafiq if he will not write to me, but I can still retain my attorney, Mr. Skiss to assist me if I do not hear from your Shafiq.

When and if I hear from Shafiq, I will write to you again.

May your ancestors rest in perfect harmony in the skies.

Your Humble servant, Willard Fong
Willard Fong

[So Friday the 28th, I send the "application" to barrister Shafiq . The ca$h will come later...]

Herein application for documentation required for transfer of funds.

B.S. Law Office:

I have not replied to your last mail until this very date, because I have just heard from a Private Investigator, Thomas Magnum, who was dispatched by my esteemed relative Long Fong, on my humble behalf, to find out about you and your firm.

Tommie (my friend since childhood, so I may address him thus) tells me that there is no such law office in Malaysia:

Neither was there this office:

Sir, just what are you trying to do here? Are you planning to cheat me? You ask for nearly $2,500.00 and your office does not exist?

I am telling you, that in all my years, I have never been treated so shabbily! My esteemed relative from Hong Kong, Honorable Long Fong, is angry with me for being so foolish to be cheated! I fear that I have lost face with him. He looks at me with contempt in his eyes!

Consider this my final correspondence with you, thief.
