I am Barrister Rooney Smith (UK) the legal attorney to Senator Paul

It is obvious that this proposal will not come to you as a suprise
since there are tales about the internet. but need not to worry as i
am using the only secured and confidential medium available to seek

be of mutual benefit to the two of us.
This business request may seem strange, but I crave your indulgence
and pray you view it seriously as I am convinced that you would be
capable to provide me with a solution to a money transfer.
On the 25th of October 2002, my client, Senator Paul Wellstone, his
wife Sheila and daughter, and five others were involved in a fatal
Plane Crash traveling to northern Minnesota.My client Senator Paul
Wellstone died at the age of 58-year-old. He died in the midst of
one of the most hard-fought senate races of the mid-term campaign,
battling to retain a seat which the Republicans have targeted in
order to win back control of the senate.

and properties left behind by my client which if not met with will
confisticate his money and assets and send them to the banks
treasury as unclaimed since the funds are now lying in the suspence
account of the bank.

valued at US$9.3Million (Nine Million Three Hundred Thousand United
States Dollars) will be paid into your account and then you and I
