sult of a heart-related condition on the 11 November 2001. His heart condition
was due to the death of all the Members of his family in the Gulf Air Flight

In the year 2000 he invested in treasury bill Bonds with Bank in London totali
ng 28.3 million dollars which was due to be collected in 2004 with accrued div
idends. On my yearly appraisal of my client at the turn of every year, I disco
vered that his investment was overdue for retrieval, I decided to search for a
ny of my late client's relative which has been very difficult for me before th
ose treasury bills(Bonds) get confisticated or declared unserviceable by the b
ank. Particularly, the bank has issued me a notice to provide any of his next
of kin or have the account confiscated within a short time. My late client has
an account valued at 28.3 million dollars.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for some time now, an
d with the bank giving me deadline, I now seek your consent to present you as
the next of kin of the deceased, so that the proceeds of this account valued a
t 28.3 million dollars can be paid to you, For your assistance you shall have
40% of the entire sum and 10% for miscellaneous expenses that might arise.
This transaction is 100% risk free and any risks will be on me as the attorney
.
All I require from you is your honest co-operation to enable us see this Deal
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of the law. I would want you to Urgentl
y Send me your full names and address, telephone and fax numbers to enable me
prepare all the necessary
documents that will assist our claims and for us to discuss further about this
transaction.
I will like you to acknowledge the receipt of this e-mail as soon as possible
via my private EMAIL: brownjon07@yahoo.co.uk and treat with absolute confiden
tiality and sincerity.
I look forward to your quick reply.
