Subject: Between you and me..
Greetings
I am Barr Charles Brown, a Canadian attorney based in Manchester, United
Kingdom and the personal attorney to Late Mr Mark Michelle, a French
National. Late Mr Mark Michelle is a private oil consultant/contractor with
the Shell Petroleum Development in Saudi Arabia, herein after shall be
referred to as my client.
On 23rd December 2003, my client 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 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 client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the
finance and security company where these huge deposit was lodged.
The deceased had a deposit valued presently at $12,000,000.00 (Twelve
Million United states Dollars) and 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 working days.Having been unsuccessful in
locating any of my late client relatives for over two (2) years now. 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 $12 Million US
Dollars can be paid to you.It is not necessary to be a blood relation to
late Mr Mark Michelle, 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
French National.
Already, i have worked out modalities for achieving my aim of appointing a
next of kin as well as transfer the money abroad for us to share in the
ratio of 50% for me and 35% to you and we shall collectively donate 10% to
the Tsunami relief course while 5% will be set aside for any incurable
expenses both local and international. it is my intention to achieve this
transfer in a legitimate way, all i required is your honest,
co-operation,confidentiality and trust to enable us see this transaction
through. The money transfer paperwork itself will include a certificate of
origin so that the receiving bank does not ask question. Also the paperwork
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 no risk involved. The transaction is guaranteed to succeed
without any problem.
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.
