Good Day,
My name is Griffin P. Vernon, an American Citizen.Principal Partner in
Griffin Law Chambers, London,UK. I was formally a personal attorney to
Mr. Fahad Algosaibi who was the chairman of Algosaibi Saudi owned
healthcare company dealing with pharamaceutical, medical and scientific
equipments, veterinary and information technology, Saudi Arabia. Mr.
Fahad died late last year of heart attack at the ripe age of 79 years.
Mr. Fahad Algosaibi a Saudi Arabia Philanthropist, before he died, made
a Will in my law firm stating that $7.5M (Seven million, Five Hundred
Thousand U.S. dollars only) should be donated to any charity home of
our choice overseas as his last contribution to humanity when it became
obvious that he will not stay alive for too long. His only son, Khalifa
A. Algosaibi and his entire family has no knowledge of this.
However, I am very much aware that he has left enough wealth that will
last his generation a lifetime. The true situation at the moment is
that the said amount of money was deposited with the BANK here in UK
only to be paid out to a charity home.The charity home/organization
would have to be picked by my law office. This implies that you will
stand as the beneficiary to this Will so that the funds could be
processed and transferred to your account if you are ready and in a
position to assist me. You do not need to
have a charity organization, all you need do is to declare your
interest and show seriousness.
As a professional and lawyer in particular, I have mapped out
strategies which i will use to obtain all the proper/legal
documentations and last approval from Ministry of Finance concerning
the funds which i will send the copies across to you for your perusal
and record puppose before the bank will contact you.
I am particularly interested in securing this money from the Bank
because they have issued a notice instructing us to produce the
beneficiary of this Will as soon as possible, else the account would be
made dormant since Mr. Fahad was ill for a long period of time before
his demise. If you are interested in assisting me, I will give you 30%
of the entire funds after paying taxes due to your government and
expenses during the course of this are withdrawn from it. The balance
will be mine although I intend to send
some of it to a charity organization.
I urge you to contact me immediately for further details if you are
satisfied with my proposition and feel you are in a position to assist
me. Bearing in mind the confidential nature of this transaction. For
the trust i have on you, I believe that you have the ability to handle
this transaction, I will Prefer you respond through this particular
griffinchambers_partners@uk2.net
call me on my direct phone indicated above.
Yours faithfully,
Mr.Griffin P. Vernon Esq.
