Dear Friend,
Firstly, this is not to cause you embarrassment,I am
Engineer Alfred Von Heinz,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 my his extended
relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After
these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to
contact you with this proposal. I have contacted you
to assist in repatriating this huge amount of money
left behind by my friend before they get confiscated
or declared unserviceable by the BANK/INSTITUTION
where these huge deposit was lodged.
The deceased had a deposit presently valued USD15.2
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 roceeds of this account valued at USD15.2 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
inform the attorney that I have at last found a
relative to 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 from any
breach of the law.
I am presently in London and I ask for your
cooperation to provide me the following information:
full name/your telephone/mobile and fax numbers
your physical Address.
Your urgent response will be highly anticipated and
appreciated.
Best regard
Engineer Alfred Von Heinz
