Hello,
I am Peter Wise an attorney to a deceased Immigrant property magnate, the late
Mr James Parlow who was based in the U.K., Also referred to as my client.
On the 25th of July 2000, my client, his wife and their two Children died in the Air
France concord plane crash bound for New York in their plan for a world cruise,
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm

Since then I have been managing his properties here in the U.K. and some of his
properties, which he put out for sale. Which I monitored the payment as his
attorney, has been bought and paid for. Now the money paid was deposited into his
Local account here. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and
property left behind by my client before they get confiscated or
declared unserviceable by his bank.

Particularly, the bank has issued me a notice to provide any of his next of kin or
have the account confiscated within a short time. My late client has an account
valued at 15.5 million dollars. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the
relatives for some time now, and with the bank giving me deadline, I now seek your
consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased, so that the proceeds of
this account valued at 15.5 million dollars can be paid to you
and then you, and I can share the money. 50% to me and 40% for you and 10% for
miscellaneous expenses that might arise. I have all necessary information that can
be used to back up any
Claim we may make.

All I require is your honest co-operation 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. Trust me, as his attorney, this is a
risk-free relationship.

Please get in touch with me by my email: peterbrian2004@netscape.net

And send me your full names and address,telephone and fax numbers to enable us discuss further about this transaction.

Best regards,
Peter T. Brian
