Subject: URGENT RESPONSE NEEDED.
Hello Friend,
I am Barrister Mike Bello, a Solicitor, and the Personal Attorney to GEORGE
BRUMLEY Jr,a foreign client who died along with his entire family in a plane
crash that happened in Kenya, East Africa. Since I got information about
his death, I have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim
his money because the bank where his money were lodged cannot release it
unless some body applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased
as indicated in our banking guidelines and laws but unfortunately i learnt
that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at
the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.
Since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of my clients
extended
relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.After these several
unsuccessful
attempts, I decided to trace his relatives over the Internet, to locate
any member of his family but of no avail, hence I contacted you. I have
contacted you to assist in repatriating the money that belong to my client
before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where
this huge deposits were lodged.
Please I want you to visit the website below for more information about
the Plane Crash:- www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/07/20/kenya.crash/index.html
Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an account valued at about
10 million dollars has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or
have the account confiscated within the next ten official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for almost 2 years
now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased
since you are a foreigner and bear foreign name, so that the proceeds of
this account valued at $10 million dollars can be paid to you and then you
and me can share the money. 55% to me and 40% to you,while 5% should be
for expenses or tax as your government may require,I have the certificate
of deposit that can be used to back up any claim we may make.
All I require is your honest cooperation 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.Please get in touch with me
by my email to enable us discuss further. I WILL OBTAIN AFFIDAVIT FROM COURT
WHEN YOU RESPOND TO ME. MEANWHILE RESPOND TO ME THROUGH MY ALTERNATIVE
E/MAIL
ADDRESS BELOW:- mikebello600@rambler.ru
Best regards,
Mike Bello (Esq.)
