Subject: personal request
Good day,
I am Barr. Smith Egli, a personal Legal Adviser to
Dr. George W.Brumley from Atlanta, U.S.A who used to
work as a Government Contractor in South Africa.
Referred to as my client who Died in a plane crash
with his entire family in Kenya, East Africa in the
Year 2003. Since then I have made several enquiries
here to locate any of my client?s extended relatives,
this has proved unsuccessful.
I want you to visit the website below for more
information about the Plane
Crash:

http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/07/20/kenya.crash/index.html
I
therefore made further investigations and discovered
that in the bank documents, where he is to fill his
next of kin, George W.Brumley Before his
death filled in his wife JEAN BRUMLEY as his next of
kin but unfortunately, the wife died along with him
and Others, therefore, there is nobody left
behind to claim the fund of Dr. George Brumley as his
next of kin that is why I am contacting you and am
proposing That we carry this deal together.
To assist in repatriating the fund valued at US$4.5
Million (Four Million Five Hundred Thousand United
States Dollars) left behind by my client before it
gets confiscated or declared unserviceable by the
Bank. The Bank has issued me a notice to provide the
next of kin or have his account confiscated or donated
to charity homes. This I know is a lie because; they
will want to share the funds within themselves if
nobody applies for it. They gave me the next twenty
one official working days to find a relative of his or
a business partner to claim the funds. If I do not
apply for the funds, the Bank directors will share the
funds amongst themselves.
In order to avert this negative development, I will
like to seek for your Permission as a foreigner to
stand as the next of kin to Dr.George W.Brumley So
that the fruits of this old man's labor will not be in
vain, all documentation and paper work will be in
place for the successful conclusion of this deal.
All I require from you is your honest cooperation to
enable us see this transaction through. I guarantee
that this will be executed under legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of
the law.
Please get in touch with me through the above email or
give me a number to reach you for more details for
more details concerning the clarity of this deal.You
can send your reply to my personal email address:
emekfoe@netscape.com
Sincerely Yours,
Barr. Smith Egoli
