national and international clients a broad range of legal service including

Sir, I am making this contact to you in respect of late Capt. Hatem Roushdy
long lasted cordial business relationship with my chambers before his death.
I am contacting you, believing that it is time to handover and entrust to
you, the late Capt. Hatem Roushdy assets including cash.
I am Barrister Vernon Dennis, the head of corporate recovery &
reconstruction service, Howard Kennedy solicitors in London and an indigene
of Australia, I have a client Capt. Hatem Roushdy, who lost his life aboard
Egypt Air Flight 990, which crashed into the Atlantic Ocean on October
31,1999 (View: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm).
All occupants on board unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have
made several enquiries to your Embassy to locate any of my client's extended
relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives
over the Internet, to locate any member of his family in United States but
of no avail, hence I contacted you. I have contacted you to assist me in
repatriating the money left behind by my client before they got confiscated
or declared unserviceable by the bank where these huge deposits were lodged.
Particularly, the bank of America where the deceased had an account valued
at about US$8, 5 million has issued me a notice to provide the next-of-kin
or have the account confiscated within the next twenty official working
days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 1 year
now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased
so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$8,5 million can be paid to
you and then you and I can share the money; 50% to me and 50% to you.
I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim
we may make, all I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this
transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Please get in touch with me first by my secured and confidential email
immediately you acknowledge the good receipt of this message.
Anticipating your prompt response.
Yours Sincerely,
Barr. Vernon Dennis
Howard Kennedy Solicitors
London.
