Attention Please,
I am barrister and solicitor to late Dr.George Brumley,hereinafter referred
to as our client. I have the
confidence and believe that you will be of imense help to me in the light of
the present situation that calls for your attention.
Meanwhile,it is my desire, and or , a providential instinct to inform you
that there is the sum of $22.6 million United States Dollars floating in the
account of one of my clients, Dr. George Brumley from America,who suddenly
died in a plane crash on Monday, July 21, 2003 with his entire
family.Late Dr. George Brumley as a well known philanthropists to many
charitable and humanitarian organisations,prior to his death, had great
intentions to build charitable homes for the poor and the less privileges in
Africa.A vision he had long ago which made him to save such a hugh sum in a
bank here for years. There is no one alive to claim this money since he had
his wife and children perished in the plane crash.Below is the website of
the crash;

There is no doubt that i was his trusted lawyer in Africa and he had me in
confidence and allowed me the knowledge of all his transactions and secret
financial deposits.It is in this regard that i wish that you will cooperate
with me so that we will claim the aforementioned amount from the bank who
will keep using this money or at the expiration of some years pushes this
money into the bank coffers as treasure bills should none of his next of kin
comes up for the claim.
As his accredited lawyer,even known by the said bank,i am in a better
position to connive with you to claim this money in so far as my client is
dead and there is no other person alive to claim this money.To this effect
therefore,there is no one alive that has the knowledge of this money right
now besides me.
It is in my set up logistics to present you as his next of kin.I will file
in all legal documentations to this effect and your claim will be
automatically granted by the bank.All i will expect you to do is to follow
my instructions till the end.You will present your bank account where the
bank will transfer
this money into.I will fly into your country to take my share as soon as the
money hits your account.Be rest assured that this transaction poses no risk
to you as everything around it is quite legal considering the fact that no
other person will ever counter your claim until eternity.
Once this deal is over,i will give you 25% of this very amount.While 10%
will be used to defray any expenses involved since we must make some.
Kindly get back to me as quickly as possible should you accept to strike
this deal with me.Send to me your telephone/fax numbers too and your full
personal profile to enable me build unalloyed trust in you since you are
the person to receive this money.I will forward to you my private and direct
telephone numbers once you prove your seriousness and that you are totally
with me.
Expecting to hearing from you soon.
Yours faithfully,
Badmus Daniel Esq
Attorney at law
