Afshin Mohammadhosseini/William Buckaway business proposal SCAM!

I was sent this scam by a different email account and sender.  I already know immediately this is a SCAM but please do not trust anyone who asks you to wire them money, give your personal information or purchase items and mail them back.  Please be cautious and do not trust any email account that sends you a "William Buckaway" business proposal.

BUSINESS PROPOSAL
 
This business proposal is confidential and I request that it be treated as such. I must solicit your
confidentiality and assure you that I am contacting you in good faith and this proposal will be of
mutual benefit. I am William Buckaway, a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney/sole executor
to a client of mine, who died along with his family in a plane crash on the 14th of August 2005.
 
My late client a formal Sub-Comptroller working with Chevron Texaco Oil here in the United
Kingdom and had Left behind a deposit of Sixteen Million British Pounds Sterling only
(£16,000,000.00) with a bank. After the death of my client, the finance company contacted me, as
his attorney to provide his next of kin who should inherit his fortune this according to them is their
policy in sure circumstances.   
 
Since the death of my client, I have written several letters to the embassy with intent to locate any of
his extended relatives whom shall be claimants/beneficiaries of his abandoned personal estate and all
such efforts have been to no avail. I had to inform the finance company about my fruitless effort in
locating my late client's close relative or his next of kin.
  
The board of directors of the finance company now adopted a resolution and I was mandated to
provide his next of kin for the payment of this money or forfeit the money as an abandoned fund.
The company had planned to invoke the abandoned property decree of 996 to confiscate the funds
after the expiration of the period given to me but after an investigation in the finance company, I
found out that some members of the company wants to divert this fund into their private accounts for
their own selfish interest and only want, to use the excuse that since I am not able to look for
someone to make the claim, the money should be made unserviceable and that means submitting the
fund to the federal government of this country and some to the company management which is not
their main intentions.
 
By virtue of my closeness to the deceased and his immediate family, I am very much aware of my
client's financial standing. I do sincerely sympathize the death of my client, but had thought it
unprofitable for his funds to be submitted to the federal government of this country and the finance company where it is lodged. I have reasoned very professionally and I feel it will be legally proper to
present you as the next of kin of my deceased client which is legally possible and would be done in
accordance with the laws of the land. 
 
On this note I decided to search for a credible person and finding that you bear a similar last name, I
was urged to contact you, that I may, with your consent, present you to the "trustee" bank as my late
client's surviving family member so as to enable you put up a claim to the bank in that capacity as a
next of kin of my client, so that the proceeds of this Bank Account valued at SIXTEEN MILLION
POUNDS ONLY (£16,000,000.00) can be paid to you and then both of us can share the money, 60%
to me and 40% to you. I know there might be other persons out there with the same surname as my
late client, but after a little check my instinct tells me to contact you. Can I trust you on this? I shall
assemble all the necessary documents that will be used to back up your claim. 
 
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any
breach of law. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this proposal is hitch-free and that you
should not entertain any fears as the required arrangements have been made for the completion of
this transfer.
 
Like I said, I require only a solemn confidentiality on this. Please get in touch with me by my
alternative email: william.buckaway56@live.com for better confidentiality and send to me your
telephone and fax numbers to enable us discuss further on this transaction. Upon the receipt of your
reply, I will send you an e-mail the next step to take. If this proposal is acceptable by you, do not
take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed in you. Thank you for your understanding.
 
Sincerely, 
William Buckaway (Esq

    1. I too have tried to waste their time as they've wasted ours. I've gone round and round with them and even when they ask for me to wire them back money I tell them I don't have a bank account to deposit the check. So more power to you to give them a hard time but please be cautious and vague when answering their questions. Good luck to you.
