Mr. Chey and all his family died in the most terrible and highly horrible
Indian Ocean's Tidal Wave disaster (Asian Tsunami) of the Dec. 26th 2004.
Ever since this tragic and traumatic events, I have made frantic
efforts to establish contacts with his relatives, but could not succeed.
Due to the fact that considering the nature of my clients business dealings,He

confiscated or even decleared it unserviceable by the finance and credit
institution where these funds were deposited. I solicit your urgent
assistance and co-operation as a foreigner for easy passage of the funds
to your designated Bank account.
Mr. Chey was a successful businessman and was involved in cash
transactions due to the nature of his business. He was engaged in buying
of Crude Oil and Gold from His suppliers in the mineral - rich equatorial
belt of central and southern African Countries, after which he sends the
consignments to Bangkok in Thailand for processing and onward shipments
to Dubia and Saudi
Arabia.
The amount of money kept in the custody of the finance and credit house
is USD 35.5 million Dollars only. Since I have been unable to locate his
relatives after all my frantic efforts, I am therefore compelled by this
circumstances to seek your consent to present you dear, with my position
as his legal advicer as his next of kin or business associate of the deceased
so as to enable you receive and collect the above funds.
All other further informations to that effect at my disposal will be made
available to you upon your consent and the acceptance of the project.The
funds when retrieved and successfully secured will be shared thus: myself,the
attorney 40%, yourself the presented next of kin 30%, while 20%
will go to Charity and possibly the Tsunami victims through you, inline
with my clients belief and support for Charity as a great philantropist
during his life time, the balance of 10% will be for contingency expenses
to be incured during the process by both parties. I assure you the fullest
and absolute co-operation and a hitch free operation in this regards.
I equally guarranttee you total protection against any breach of the law
in line with my legal profession.

further clarifications, and please endeavour to always keep secret all informations
concering this transaction.

order to avoid my making further contacts.
