I am the luckiest boy in the world.

Dear Kyle Hemingway,

My name is Barr.Bakr Azmi a legal practitioner with A.Bakr & Associates in Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia.

I found your contact/profile some where over the Internet and it gave me the greatest joy, that you are the one I have been looking for. Whom I strongly believe could execute this transaction with me. And being more positive that with your capability, that this transaction of transferring the sum of 17,530,000.00 will be successfully accomplished. My purpose of contacting you is for you to help secure the funds left behind by my late client, to avoid it being confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Finance House. Where this fund valued (17,530,000.00) Seventeen Million, Five hundred and Thirty thousand United State Dollars deposited by my client before his death in Dec 2004.

You might be wondering why am I communicating with you, believe it or not it is simply because you have the same surname with my late client. Though this is coincidental, I strongly believe, you could help me in the task which is the distribution of my late clients funds. And the said funds in the Finance House is considered “UNSERVICEABLE” after my client passed away as there were no indication of next of kin whatsoever that the Institution could consider as a beneficiary for the said funds.

Being my late clients legal adviser, the Institution notified my office, that I need to produce and to contact the next of kin of my deceased client, to either “REACTIVATE” the account or to “MAKE CLAIMS” of the said funds which is carrying a monthly surcharge.

Now, my intention is purely to seek your consent to kindly present you as the legal next of kin/beneficiary to my late client’s funds. This would mean that the proceeds of the said funds would be released to you. After the release of the funds to you, we shall then share it mutual, which will be 70% to me and 30% to you.

My office would provide documents to back up your claim. The most important thing I need is your honest/sincere cooperation in this task. And I assure you that this transaction will be legally executed according to the dictates of the law, which will protect you from any infraction of the law.

However, if this business proposition offends your moral ethics, do accept my sincere apology. If on the contrary you wish to achieve this goal with me, kindly get back to me with your interest immediately for further details.

Best regards
Barr.Bakr Azmi (Esq)

  2. yes it is a scam……….you should write back and tell Mr. Azmi another lawyer has contacted you and it turns out you really are the heir to that 17.5 mil and also to a much larger inheritance left behind to another law firm.

  10. This is disgusting. He offers to split the money 70% for him, 30% for me!
    After all, the deseased is MY next of kin. So, I should get 80%, he gets 20%.
    Otherwise, forget it.
