Subject: Greetings
Greetings
I am Hector Casillas, the personal account officer 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.
On 3rd January 2001, Mr Mark Michelle 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 country's
embassies to locate any of his extended relatives, this has
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 house where this huge deposit
was lodged.
The deceased had a deposit valued presently at
$18,000,000.00 (Eighteen Million United states Dollars) and
the bank 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 communicating 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 honesty, 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
nvolved. 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,
Hector Casillas.
