Dear friend,
My name is Jonathan Small; I am a solicitor with the Falcon Chambers UK, the
personal attorney to Christian Eich the President BMW and Companies who died
with his family on the 25th July, 2000, aboard AF4590, which crashed into
the Hotelissimo. Unfortunately they all lost their lives in the event as
there was no survivor. For your confirmations, you can visit the website
below for more information on the crash;

I have made several enquiries to locate any of my clients extended
relatives, which has also proved unsuccessful. As a matter of fact, he is
having a fixed time deposit of £5.6million with a finance house here in the
United Kingdom; and also stocks worth 36 million euros (with interest) being
managed by his broker. Hence I contacted you to assist in repatriating the
money and property left behind before they died or they might declared
unserviceable by the Finance house where he made the deposit.
The Finance house issued me a notice to provide the next of kin to the
deceased or have the account confiscated within a short period of time.
Owing to my unsuccessful search for the relatives getting to 6 years now, I
seek your consent to stand in as the next of kin to the deceased since the
bank can not release this money unless somebody applies for it as next of
kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in the banking laws and we all
stands the right to protect his legacy as such the proceeds of the deposit
and stocks can be paid to you for both of us to share the funds. I have some
legal documents that can be used to backup the claim, while the rest could
be processed through the court.
I agree that 30% of this money will be for you as a respect to the provision
of a foriegn account, 10% will be set aside for expenses incurred during the
business and 60%
would be for me Thereafter, I will visit your country for disbursement
according to the percentage indicated.
All I require is your honest cooperation and trust. I guarantee that this
will be executed under a legitimate arrangement.
More about me can be found directly on the chambers website;

Thanks for your kind co-operation.
Cheers,
Jonathan Small.
