Attention please! Strictly Confidential!
Greetings,
With all due respect, I guess my letter will not embarrass you, since I
have no previous correspondence with you. I strongly believed, I would not
regret approaching you in this matter. I am Mr.Charles Brown, a solicitor
at law and the personal attorney to late Mr. Francis Fichelle,a French national.
Late Mr.Francis Fichelle is a private oil consultant/contractor with the
shell petroleum development in Saudi Arabia, herein after shall be referred
to as my client.
I have avery urgent and mutual business relationship to propose to you.
on sunday 26 december 2004, at about 0100 gmt, an 8.9 magnitude earthquake
occurs on the seafloor near aceh in northern Indonesia. This earthquake
generated a huge tsunami wave, hitting the coasts of Indonesia, Malaysia,
Thailand, Myanmar, India, Sri lanka,Maldives and even Somalia. Unfortunately,my
client and his wife with their three children lost their lives in the devastation
caused by the earthquake and tsunami that hit many part of Asia and East
Africa.
Since then, I have made several enquiries with his country?Embassies to
locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to personally contact
you with this business partnership proposal. I have contacted you to assist
in repatriating a huge amount of money left behind by my client before they
get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the finance and security company
where these huge deposit was lodged. the deceased had a deposit valued presently
at $12,000,000.00 million us dollars (twelve million united state dollars)
and company has issued me a notice to provide his next of kin or beneficiary
by will otherwise have the account confiscated within the next ninety working
days.
Having been unsuccessful in locating any of my late client relatives for
one (1) month now. i am now seeking your consent to present you as the next
of kin/beneficiary to the deceased so that the proceeds of this account
valued at $ 12 million united states dollars can be paid to you.it is not
necessary to be a blood relation to late Mr. Francis Fichelle, neither is
it necessary to bear the same surname with him. It is even not important
for the stand-in next of kin to be a French national.
Already, I have worked out modalities for achieving my aim of appointing
a next of kin as well as transfer the money abroad for us to share in the
ratio of 60% for me and 40% to you. It is my intention to achieve this transfer
in a legitimate way, all I required is your honest, co-operation,confidentiality
and trust to enable us see this transaction through. The money transfer
paper work itself will include a certificate of origin so that the receiving
bank does not ask question. Also the paper work will include proper certificate
that the fund being transferred is from non-criminal sources.
In short this will be a proper and legal money transfer with apparently
no risk involved. the transaction is guaranteed to succeed without any problem.
as soon as I hear from you, I shall provide you with further clarification
that you may need. your urgent response will be highly anticipated and appreciated.
Please reply me through this my private e-mail box for security reasons.

Best wishes,
Mr.Charles Brown.
