It is with Heavy Heart I am reaching you regarding the death of my late
client. I am Barrister Anthony Bruce Smith, the legal adviser to late MR.
MIKE & CAROL HALL, a very Wealthy Couple that lived here in the United
Kingdom, before their recent Death on the 26th of December during the
Tsunami disaster last year
2004).http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/bristol/4153821.stm) these couple
served God as very dedicated Christians, they so dedicated their life to
their business but they had no child till they died. They acquired a lot of
landed properties like lands, Stocks/Bond, house properties, etc. As their
legal adviser, before their death, the husband Mr. Mike Hall instructed me
to write his WILL because they had no child; they dedicated their wealth to
God.
According to the WILL, their assets should be given out to a ministry for
the work of God. As their legal adviser, all the documents for the Assets
that are deposited with Nat west Bank London are in my care. He gave me the
authority to disburse the funds according to his will for the work of God.
As instructed by MR.MIKE HALL before his death. As a matter of fact the
total amount of money in the bank account is #4,500,000.00 Million pounds. I
have been reading the documents in my possession and I have to do what is
lawful and right in the sight of God by giving out the fund to the chosen
ministry for the purpose of God's work or charity as instructed by the owner
before his death. After an in-depth thought today, coupled with the notice
from the bank to produce the next of kin to Mr. Hull, I asked God to make
his choice and direct me to an honest individual or the chosen company that
will stand as next of kin in repatriating this fund to a save account.
THIS TRANSACTION IS LEGAL AND VERY EASY, NO RISK INVOLVED AT ALL. ALL I
REQUIRE IS YOUR HONEST COOPERATION TO ENABLE US SEE THIS TRANSACTION THROUGH
.YOUR NAME DOES NOT MATTER .PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH THE ABOVE CONTACT ADDRESS
AND UPON THE CONFIRMATION OF THIS AND YOUR READINESS TO RECEIVE THE FUND, I
WILL IMMEDIATELY PROCEED TO THE REGISTRY TO CARRY OUT THE LEGAL PROCEDURES
FOR YOU TO CONTACT THE BANK FOR ONWARD CLAIM OF THE FUND TO ANY DESIGNATED
BANK OF YOUR CHOICE.I GUARANTEE THAT THIS WILL BE EXECUTED UNDER A
LEGITIMATE ARRANGEMENT THAT WILL PROTECT YOU FROM ANY BREACH OF THE LAW.
Your sincere and urgent responds to this fax will be highly appreciated but
whereby you are not capable or willing to assist me, I will advice you to
please notify me of your intention or interest as soon as possible to allow
me avoid delay with the deadline given to me by the Bank.
Yours faithfully,
Barrister, Anthony Bruce Smith,
Principal Partner
