LETTER FROM DAVID LEE,ENGLAND.
FAX NUMBER;44 7092873103

Dear Friend,

Compliments on your good health and a wonderful day to you.I am
contacting you after seeing your profile on the internet.My name is
David Lee.I have a proposition to put to you.It is very intimate and I
want you to be my partner in its conclusion.I was the credit officer of
an Iraqi oil contractor named Bernard Poirier who died in an air crash
on 31st October 1999 in an egyptian air flight.Pls read about this
incident at the website below

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/world/americas/502503.stm

Due to the relationship between the deceased and I,he left me in care of
the deposit certificate which he used to lodge some funds as a
consignment in a safe deposit box amounting to $8.4million with an
offshore finance company in Europe.He requested that if something bad
ever happened to him,he would
want his wealth to be given to a
worthy individual or organisation for the service of
humanity.Unfortunately some time later he died.I was appointed as the
administrator to his estate by a probate court in London since the funds
were deposited there.

As the law states I cannot secure the release order for the consignment
unless someone applies as the beneficiary to the investment as indicated
in the UK Code on Wills/Inheritance guidelines.I wish to seek you as my
partner in this mission to do something unique in my life.I know that
with your
maturity and experience
the funds will be used judiciously.I feel deeply sorry in my heart for
not doing this before and hope it is not too late to fulfill a late
client's wish.The unfortunate explosions in London have left their mark
on me and a close friend of mine died in one incident.I saw the plight
of people and what I aim to do is to set up a foundation to help those
who encounter this type of problems worldwide.The Book of Galatians 6:7
Says(For he that soweth
to his
flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption,but he that soweth to the
Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.And let us not be weary
in well doing, for in due season we shall reap,if we faint not.As we
have therefore opportunity,let us do good unto all men,especially unto
them who are of the household of faith.)I have also considered the poor
people in the Hurricane that occured in America and I feel they can also
benefit from our help with this funds.


This transaction is fully legal as per the outstanding Order of Mandamus
issued by the probate court in England which authorised me to search for
a beneficiary for the funds.Pls be advised that the CERTIFIED TRUE COPY
of the WRIT OF MANDAMUS and the FUNDS DEPOSIT CERTIFICATE are in my
custody and I am ready to forward them to you.If you agree to my
proposition in which I have offered a percentage of 40% for your
assistance and are ready to do this project with me,kindly provide the
following information.Also note that the funds are free of any claims or
liabilities as certified by the probate court.You will be free to do
anything with your share of the funds.

1.Your Full name,address and age and marital status which shall be used to
prepare an MOU between us.

2.Direct Telephone and mobile numbers.For our secure correspondence.

3.You have never been involved in Drugs or terrorism.This is a legal
transaction and we have to keep all international regulations.

Remain Blessed,

DAVID LEE
