Greetings
I am the personal attorney to late Mr.Ghassan Hilmi Hariri, a Lebanese
national. Late Mr.Mr.Ghassan Hilmi Hariri was a private oil
consultant/contractor with the shell petroleum development in Saudi Arabia, herein
after shall be referred to as my client.
Unfortunately, my client and his wife with their three children lost
their lives in the Plane crash of Union Transport Africaines Flight
Boeing 727 in Cotonou, Benin Republic on the December 25,2003. You will read
more stories about the crash on visiting this website:
www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash or
<http://english.pravda.ru/accidents/21/97/384/11653_Aircrash.html>
Since then, I have made several enquiries with his country's embassies
to locate his extended relatives,but this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to personally
contact you with this business partnership proposal. I have contacted you
to assist in repatriating a huge amount of money left behind by my late
client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the
finance and Security Company where this huge deposit was lodged.
The deceased had a deposit valued presently at Twelve Million United
State dollars and the company has issued me a notice to provide his next
of kin or beneficiary by will, otherwise the account will be
confiscated within the next ninety working days.
Having been unsuccessful in locating any of my late client's relatives
for six (6) months, I am now seeking your consent to present you as the
next of kin/beneficiary to the deceased; so that the proceeds of this
account valued at Twelve Million United States dollars can be paid to
you. It is not necessary to be a blood relation to late Mr.Mr.Ghassan
Hilmi Hariri, neither is it necessary to bear the same surname with him.
It is even not important for the stand-in next of kin to be a Lebanese
national.
Already, I have worked out modalities for achieving my aim of
appointing a next of kin as well as transferring the money abroad for us to
share in the ratio of 50% for me and 35% to you, while we would
collectively donate the remaining 10% to Tsunami Relief Course. Although, 5% has
been mapped out for reimbursement of any incurrable expenses both local
and international. It is my intention to achieve this transfer in a
legitimate way, all I required is your honesty and co-operation,
confidentiality and trust to enable us see this transaction through.
The money transfer paper work itself will include a certificate of
origin so that the receiving bank does not ask question. Also the paper
work will include proper certificate that the fund being transferred is
from non-criminal sources. In short this will be a proper and legal money
transfer with apparently no risk involved. The transaction is
guaranteed to succeed without any problem.
If this proposal is acceptable to you, kindly send the following to me;
A:Your Telephone and fax numbers
B:Your complete locational address
As soon as I hear from you, I shall provide you with further
clarification that you may need. Your urgent response will be highly anticipated
and appreciated.
Best wishes,
Barr.Charles Brown
Note: In the event you are not willing to assist, kindly notify me to
prevent me from not making further contact.
