Dear Friend,
Firstly, not to cause you embarrassment, I am Barrister Johnson Eze
Christian , a Solicitor at law and the personal attorney to late Mr. Mark
Michelle 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 client. On the 21st of April 2001, 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?s embassies to
locate any of my clients extended relatives: This has proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to 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/Security Company where
this huge deposit was lodged.
The deceased had a deposit valued presently at $15 million US Dollars and
the Company has issued me 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, I 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
$15Million US dollars can be paid to you. This will be disbursed or shared
in these percentages, 60% to me and 40% to you.
I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim
we may make. 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. Please get in
touch with me urgently by E-mail: zuky_konzultancy@myway.com
