Should I Take the Case?

Hmmm, I just received this in my e-mail.  Should I take the case, it sounds very lucrative!
Dear Counsel

My
name is Isabella Minoru. I am contacting your firm in regards to a divorce
settlement with my ex husband Franklin Minoru who resides in your
jurisdiction.

I am currently on assignment in South Korea. We had
an out of court agreement for him to pay $623,000,00 plus legal fees. He has
only paid me $122,000.00 since.

I am hereby seeking your firm`s
assistance in collecting the balance from him or litigate this matter if he
fails to pay as promised because He has delayed for too long. If you are in the
position to represent me at the moment kindly advice immediately.

Your’s
Truly,
Isabella Minoru.

Maybe not.  🙂

You’d be a fool not to take it!

Good call – don’t take the case.

Did I ever tell you about the time I went to Burkina Faso? That taught me to just delete those scam emails, let me tell you!

I wanted to sarcastically say “You cannot have her, she is my client already” but then I thought of the ethical rules, forming attorney-client relationships, etc and decided not to say anything.*

* Except what I have stated herein.

** Is there a way I can make small print so I can attach a disclaimer that is unreadable?

It’s only a $501,000 case, so I’d say no. Now, if it were $502,000, that might be a different story.

Dear Isabella,
Our law firm would be happy to represent your claim. However we are currently representing your ex-husband Franklin in matters unrelated to this dispute. Therefore we are unable to represent you at this time. We do recommend that you contact the law firm of Jeffrey Anderson. He would be happy to discuss this matter with you.

yours truly,

Tell Isabell that you represent Franklin and she will be receiving a demand letter for $122,000 very soon.

“Tell Isabell that you represent Franklin and she will be receiving a demand letter for $122,000 very soon.”

Best option available.

On second thoughts, you just need to get the guy’s address and then send around the Mongrel Mob.

Oh, hang on, you’re in the USA, not NZ. 🙂

Tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of people got similar offers from scam artists. They wanted your bank account info and they took from therein.

It seemed they were mostly Africans.

I’m sure you will get more requests like this one. I’ve received a similar one multiple times.
