Subject: Please read
From: Mark Welling (Welling Chambers, 19 Seagrave
Road, Fulham, London
SW6 1RP, England).
Dear Friend,
I am Mark Welling, an attorney here in the United Kingdom. I am writing
following an oppurtunity in my office that will be of immense benefit to
both of us.
I was the legal counsel to the late Mr. Rudolf Haeussler, a German who
unfortunately lost his life in the 24 November 2001 Crossair aircraft
crash of the 97-seat Jumbolino Avero RJ-100 aircraft en route from Berlin,
Germany to Zurich, Switzerland, killing also his wife and only daughter.
The aircraft crashed in poor weather conditions as it approached Zurich
airport.
Before his death, I assisted him deposit a consignment containing the sum
of US$19.1M (Nineteen Million One Hundred Thousand US Dollars) with a
financial institution in one of the major cities here in Europe.
Since I got information about his death, I have been expecting his next of
kin or relatives to come over and claim his money. Unfortunately I learnt
that his supposed next of kin being his only daughter died along with him
in the plane crash leaving nobody with the knowledge of this fund behind
for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to
do business with you and release the money to you as the next of kin or
beneficiary of the funds for safe keeping and ubsequent disbursement since
nobody is coming for it. I would need you as a Foreigner acting as the
next of kin and sole benefactor to theinheritance of late Mr. Rudolf
Haeussler to claim the funds for us to share.
There is no risk involved at all in the matter as I am going to adopt a
legalized method and prepare all the necessary documents. Please endeavor
to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this issue. Once
the funds have been transferred, we shall share in the ratio of 60% for
me, 35% for you and 5% will be used to reimburse all parties of any
expenses.incurred during the course of this transaction. Should you be
interested,
please send me your telephone and fax numbers for easy communication. You
can write me via my private email address. markwelling47@graffiti.net
In the event you are not interested, I sincerely ask that you disregard
this email and tell no one about it. I am very careful not to truncate my
legal career should you mention this to someone else. I hope you can be
trusted in this regard.
Please note that all necessary arrangement for the smooth release of these
funds to you have been finalised. We will discuss more in details when I
do receive your response.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
Best regards,
Mark Welling Esq.
