Hello,
I am MARTIN C. MARNI a Barrister and Solicitor to a deceased
Immigrant engineer and property magnate 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
Before his death, I have managed his properties/estate here in the
U.K. Prior to his death, he did instructed me to put some of his
properties out for sale. These were bought and paid for after his
death.
I monitored the payment of these as his solicitor. Now the money
paid was deposited into his Local account here cum other funds.
This account was not serviced for five years , and according to
banking policies, and unserviced account, is closed with its value
taken over by the bank.
I have therefore contacted you to assist in repatriating the money
before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by his bank.
Particularly, the bank has issued me a Last 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 you share certain similarities with the only known kin
to the estate who has also passed on coupled with the bank giving
me an ultimatum, 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.If my offer is of no
appeal to you,delete this message and forget I ever contacted you.
Such opportunities only come ones' way once in a lifetime. I cannot
let this chance pass me by, for once I find myself in total control of
my destiny. These chances won't pass me by. I am a family man
and this is an opportunity to provide them with new opportunities.
There is a reward for this project and it is a task well worth
undertaking.
Please get in touch with me by my email or telephone and send me
your full names and address, telephone and fax numbers to enable
us discuss further about this transaction.
Incase you have any question/clarification, please fell free to email
me for clarification
