From Brian Smith

Attention,
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS OFFER
I need your assistance to transfer and invest (USD 45 MILLION) Forty Five
million Great British Pounds) from a bank in Channel Islands. I have the
courage to ask for your assistance to handle this important and confidential
business believing that you will never let me down either now or in future.
I am Barrister Brian Smith Esq and I am the attorney to Late paulton Allen
a foreigner and an Engineer with Atlas Engineering Co.here in Channel Islands.
Late paulton Allen has an account with a bank here,which he set up in 1990.He
died in 1999 of cardiac arrest in Channel Islands, I received a memo early
this year from the international remittance unit of the bank for an interview,The
Bank informed me on their policy to Freeze the
account and redirect the funds back to government treasury because they
saw no next of
kin in Paulton Allen's entire file Except me as his attorney but not his
inheritor He said it is the Central Bank Regulations on dormant account for
the period of ten years as the policy says that such fund should be forfeited
to government treasury . After scrutinizing his entire file within my Chamber
i discovered that he had no next of kin in his entire file with us too.On
that issue i opened up to the manager on my intention to move the funds for
investments abroad. He then adviced me to look for a foreigner because Paulton
Allen is not a citizen of Channel Islands,And he told me that the fund will
be processed as a contract sum in the name of the
new benficiary,the deposit was contract sum paid into late paulton's account
on the order of the Federal Ministry of finance to the Central Bank.
I am contacting you because of the need to involve a foreigner with foreign
account as the foreign beneficiary. I need your full co-operation to make
this transaction work.
I will come over to your country for sharing and investements as soon as
you confirm the funds in your account. The entire details of this transaction
and all the role you are required to play , i will send toyou on your positive
response to this mail.
regards
Barrister Brian Smith
