Get Back To Me
Attn:
I got your email during a personal research on the Internet and wish to use
this opportunity to
notify you of the existence of a certain amount I will like to be
transferred to you for the
purpose of investments and importation of Hospital equipments.
My name is Barrister Victor Joseph of Victor Joseph Chambers LLC and I am
the Attorney to Late
Christian Eich Mason. I have the confidence that you can be of immense
assistance to me in this
business of mutual benefit. I have the sum of Twelve million Six Hundred And
Fifteen Thousand
United States Dollars (US$12.615M) deposited in a Bank here. I need your
co-operation to move the money out of this country to your country or any
overseas country of your choice for the purpose of investments and Hospital
equipments.
We will also invest part of the money in any profitable business venture
that you may suggest. On
the 25th of July 2000, my client Christian Eich Mason, his wife and their
two Children died in the Air France concord plane crash bound for New York
in their plan for a world ruise,

He made a numbered time (fixed) deposit for Sixty calendar months value
US$12.615M On maturity, I have sent a routine notification to his forwarding
address but got no reply. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the
relatives for over 4 years now I seek your consent to present you as
the next of kin of the deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued
at $12,615,000.00 can be paid to you and then you and I can share the money
50% to me and 47% for you and 3% for
miscellaneous expenses that might arise from both sides. I have all the
necessary legal documents
that can be used to back up any claim we may make. And this I must do to
make sure that this fund is not wasted or end up in the wrong hands.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. You can reach
me directly on my cell phone: +234 805 7779164 for further information or
via e-mial :victorjosephchambers@walla.com. Trust me as an attorney, this is
a risk-free relationship.
Please get in touch with me and send me your full names and your direct
telephone number to enable us discuss further about this transaction.
Yours Sincerely,
Barrister Victor Joseph
