Next of kin to my late client.- phishing mail

Attention: Please,

THIS IS BASED ON YOU BEARING THE SAME SURNAME WITH MY LATE CLIENT.

I am contacting you about an urgent matter that would be very beneficial to your family and mine. My name is Richard Edward (Esq), and I am a personal attorney to my late client, an economist and a retired banker by profession who shares the same surname with you. My late client died of COVID-19 in 25th October, 2020. His Insurance Company contacted me March this year to find his family so that the estate he left behind could be transferred to the family.

However, due to the strict COVID-19 lock down policies, it was still somewhat difficult to get in touch with any of his family members until now. My client suffered so much health challenges in NIMES, FRANCE before he died in his mid-80 of age due to deadly Covid-19 Virus that terribly affected the whole world.

He was not married as my legal record speaks and there’s no child or family member indicated to stand as his Next of kin. The estate he left behind with the Insurance company is valued at (?10,300,000.40) Ten Million Three Hundred Thousand Euros forty cent only plus a two-bedroom property in VALENCIA, SPAIN. As a matter of fact, this estate would be absorbed by the Insurance Company if no family member does not make a claim by the end of OCT, 2022. According to the Spanish Inheritance law, the insurance company reserves the right to take possession of the estate as abandoned estate if no claim is presented by the diseased family after 5 years of death.

Considering the importance of having this estate and fund claimed by the Next of Kin, I personally want to choose you to stand as the Next of Kin to my late Client, hence you bear the same surname and with your cooperation and assistance I shall process this claim swiftly and successfully in your favour as the Next of Kin for immediate release of the estate and fund to you.

As an Attorney to my late client, I have all the files and relevant documents/ information needed to claim this inheritance from the insurance company hence all I need is to present a family member which is where you come in as all the legal documents would bear your names as the Next of Kin. If you give me your consent, I shall progress on the processing and application of the estate through appropriate legal means to suit you as the Next of kin to my late client.

Please email me your consent as soon as possible to enable me know what to respond to the insurance company on the outcome of finding my late client family member.

I await your urgent reply.

Thanks

Richard Edward (Esq).
