Dear Friend,

Compliments on your good health and a wonderful day to you.I am contacting
you after seeing your profile on the internet.My name is David Blair.I have
a proposition to put to you.It is very intimate and I want you to be my
partner in its conclusion.I was the credit officer of an Iraqi oil
contractor named Bernard Poirier who died in an air crash on 31st October
1999 in an egyptian air flight.Pls read about this incident at the website
below
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/world/americas/502503.stm

Due to the relationship between the deceased and I,he left me in care of the
deposit certificate which he used to lodge some funds as a consignment in a
safe deposit box amounting to $8.4million with an offshore finance company
in Europe.He requested that if
something bad ever happened to him,he would want his wealth to be given to a
worthy individual or organisation for the service of humanity.Unfortunately
some time later he died.I was appointed as the administrator to his estate
by a probate court in London since
the funds were deposited there.

As the law states I cannot secure the release order for the consignment
unless someone applies as the beneficiary to the investment as indicated in
the UK Code on Wills/Inheritance guidelines.I wish to seek you as my partner
in this mission to do
something unique in my life.I know that with your maturity and experience
the funds will be used judiciously.I feel deeply sorry in my heart for not
doing this before and hope it is not too late to fulfill a late client's
wish.The unfortunate explosions in London have left their mark on me and a
close friend of mine died in one incident.I saw the plight of people and
what I aim to do is to set up a foundation to help those who encounter this
type of
problems worldwide.The Book of Galatians 6:7 Says(For he that soweth to his
flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption,but he that soweth to the Spirit
shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.And let us not be weary in well
doing, for in due season we shall reap,if we faint not.As we have therefore
opportunity,let us do good unto all men,especially unto them who are of the
household of faith.)I have also considered the poor people in the recent
earthquakes in South America and I feel they can also benefit from our help
with this funds.


This transaction is fully legal as per the outstanding court Order of
Mandamus issued by the probate court in England which authorised me to
search for a beneficiary for the funds.Pls be advised that the CERTIFIED
TRUE COPY of the WRIT OF MANDAMUS and the FUNDS DEPOSIT
CERTIFICATE are in my custody and I am ready to forward them to you.If you
agree to my proposition in which I have offered a percentage of 40% for your
assistance and are ready to do this project with me,kindly provide the
following information.Also note that the funds are free of any claims or
liabilities as certified by the probate court.You will be free to do
anything with your share of the funds.

1.Your Full name,age and marital status which shall be used to prepare an
MOU between us.

2.Direct Telephone and mobile numbers.For our secure correspondence.

3.You have never involved in Drugs or terrorism.This is a legal transaction
and we have to keep all international regulations.

Remain Blessed,

David Blair.
