Attn Sir,
I am Barr.franklin More a solicitor and legal practitioner based in United
Kingdom. I am the personal attorney to Dr. George Brumley who was a
consultant with Shell UK LTD here in London, who shall be referred to as my
client. On the 21st of July 2003, my client Dr. George Brumley and his
family were involved in a fatal plane crash in Nairobi Kenya, East Africa.
Unfortunately my client Mr. George and his family lost their lives.
Here is the website of the incident that struck on that faithful
day.http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/07/20/kenya.crash/index.html
Since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of my clients
extended relatives and this has proved unsuccessful. After my several
unsuccessful attempts to locate any member of his family hence I contacted
you. I am contacting you to assist in repatriating the money left behind by
my client before they get confiscated or declared unclaimed by the security
company where this huge deposit were lodged.
Particularly, the finance company where the deceased had the said fund
valued at USD20 million dollars has issued me a notice to provide the next
of kin.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 3 years, I
seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased, so
that the proceeds of this account valued at $20 Million Dollars can be paid
to your account abroad, you will have 30% of the money for your role while
I will have 60% and 10% for expenses that we may incure in the cause of
processing the claim.I have access to all necessary legal documents that can
be used to back up any claim we may make. All I require is your honest
co-operation to enable us seeing this deal through. I guarantee that this
will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from
any breach of the law. Please kindly get back to me through my email address
or personal phone- frankmore@walla.com
number for confidentiality and send to me your telephone and fax numbers to
enable us discuss further about this transaction.
