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 was 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 countrys 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 $18,000,000.00 (Eighteen 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 $18 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
