FROM THE DESK OF:
ENGINEER BEN RAMA

Dear Friend,
Firstly, this is not to cause you embarrassment, I am Engineer Ben Rama, a personal friend and business associate to late Mr. Mark
Michelle(untill his death) a National of France, who used to be a private
contractor with the Shell Petroleum Development Company in Saudi Arabia,
herein after shall be referred to as my Friend. On the 21st of May 2002,
he and his wife with their three children were involved in an auto
crash, all occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.
Since then, I have made several enquiries with his country embassies to
locate any of his extended relatives, this has also proved
unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to contact you
with this proposal.
I am have contacing you to assist in repatriating this huge amount of
money left behind by my friend before the Bank get it confiscated or
declared unserviceable by the BANK/INSTITUTION where these huge deposit is
lodged.
The deceased had a deposit presently valued USD21 million which I am
awear of and the BANK has issued to his persoanl attorney a notice to
provide his next of kin or Beneficiary by WILL otherwise have the account
confiscated within the next thirty official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2
years now as well as the attorney, I therefore seek your consent to
present you as the next of kin / Will Beneficiary to the deceased so that the
proceeds of this account valued at USD21 Million can be paid to you.
Don't worry how this is going to be done. If you give me your williness
to do this with me, I will have to give you the contact informations of
the attorney, so that you can contact him directly, presenting your
self to him as the relative of his late client. And the attorney will now
present you to the bank as the next of Kin and then,the proceedings for
the transfer will commence .
This will be disbursed or shared in these percentages, 55% for me 30%
to you,10% for charity organizations while the balance 5% will be set
aside for any expences.
All I require is your honest Co-operation, Confidentiality and Trust to
enable us see this transaction through.I guarantee you that this will
be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from
any breach of the law.
I am presently in London and I ask for your cooperation to provide me
the following information:
1. Your full name
2. your telephone/mobile and fax numbers
3. your physical Address.
Your urgent response will be highly anticipated and appreciated.
Best regards,
Engineer Ben Rama.
