Good day Perino.
I am sorry for contacting you through this medium without a previous
notice,I had to use the E-mail because it is an easier and more confidential
way of making contact with people around the world.My name is Barrister
Philip Kona,a Forty Five (45) year old Attorney in practice here in London
England. I had a client by name Mr.Victor Perino, a businessman based here
in London,now
deceased.My client lost his life alongside his wife and only child on the
7th of July 2005 on a bomb blast here in London. Details of this incidence
can be checked on this following Newslink:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/4663931.stm
Prior to the Death of my Late Client he made a fixed deposit of
US$8,750,000.00 Million in a Bank in London,England.
As his personal Attorney before his death,I have been officially notified
and instructed by the bank here in U.K where the money is currently
deposited that I should provide and forward the particulars of Mr.Victor's
next of kin so that the Funds in his Account can be remitted into his Next
of Kin's Account in accordance with British Laws.
However, as the personal attorney and close confidant of late Mr.Victor, I
want you to know that My late Client died interstate,i.e.He died without
leaving a Will. Hence, all my efforts to locate any of his relative whom I
can present to the Bank has proved abortive.
Therefore I am seeking for your consent to present you as the deceased
relative/next of kin and subsequently the beneficiary of the fund so that
the proceed of this account valued at US$8,750,000.00 Million can be paid to
you for subsequent disbursement between you and I . 60% for me ,35% for you
and then 5% will be set aside for any expenses we might incure in the course
of this transaction.
If you can cooperate with me and receive this funds as next of kin to
Mr.Victor,confirm your
interest by contacting me through my E-mail.
I can assure you that the deal is 100% risk free because i am in possesion
of the deceased personal file which contains all informations which I shall
use to prove your relationship with the deceased
and thereafter the money will be paid into the account of whomever I present
as Mr.Victor's Next of kin with proofs that I will present to the bank when
needed.
When I receive a positive response and after proper discussion with you,I
will furnish you all relevant information that will facilitate the release
of the Funds to you, An Application will have to be filed to the Bank for
processing of the release of the Funds into your nominated Bank account.
I wait to hear from you.
Regards.
Philip Kona
