RE:TWENTY SIX MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS INHERITANCE CLAIM (US$26,
500, 000, 00)

My name is Dr Simeon Paul. I am a Legal representative, an Attorney an
private account manager to my late client.In the Year 2003, my client by
name Mr. Marshal Salazar passed away, leaving behind a cash inheritance
of Twenty six million Five hundred thousand United States Dollars ($26,500,000,00).

My late client and bosom friend grew up in a ?Motherless Babies Home?. He
had no family, no beneficiary nor next of kin to the inheritance amount
left behind in a commercia bank.

The Financial law of inheritance clearly allows for the deceased Bank to
use deceased money as deemed fit, should the inheritance money be left unclaimed
for a period of thirteen months after the death of the account owner.

The reason that you have been contacted now is because you bear the same
last name as the deceased, and I can present you as the beneficiary and
next of kin to late Mr. Marshal.

The Inheritance Law clearly leaves the onus of proof of who is or is not
the next of kin, to the deceased Lawyer to prove. As the deceased Lawyer,
the Law says l have the final say of who is the beneficiary of the deceased
estate. This is 100% percent legal. As a lawyer I know this.

If you are interested in this proposition and you are ready to keep this
proposition in absolute confidentiality and trust, then contact me at once,
and we can work out the details, and the issue of your compensation. If
you are not interested, and have found this email offensive, please do not
reply.
Send any reply to this email address: simeon_nivosa@yahoo.com

Regards,

Simeon Paul.
