Dear Friend,
I am Frank Martins, an attorney at law. A deceased client of mine, by name
Mr. Andrew Bruno,who hereinafter shall be referred to as my client, died as
the result of a heart-related condition in September 2001.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money left behind by my
client before it is confiscated or declared unserviceable by theSecurity
company where this deposit valued at 25million dollars is Deposited.
This security company has issued me a notice to contact the next of kin, or
the consignment will be confiscated because there is a government
gazzette/mandate/authorising all Security companies to freeze or consificate
any consignment that has not been claimed in a long period of time,this is
geared towards capital flight for the economy.
My proposition to you is to seek your consent to present you as the
next-of-kin and beneficiary of my named client, since you have the same last
name with my deseased client, so that the proceeds of this amount can be
released to you. Then we can share the amount on a mutually agreed-upon
percentage,of which,50% will be for me,30% for you,10% for any reputable
charity home because this fund belongs to a deseased man and 10% set aside
for any expenses we might incure the course of this transaction. All legal
documents to back up your claim as my client's next-of-kin will be provided.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction
through. This will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will
protect you from any breach of the law.
If this business proposition offends your moral values,do accept my apology
but if not, then contact me at once to indicate your interest , By giving me
your telephone number so that i too can contact you.you can also contact me
thruogh my private emailaddress,(ffrankmartins@yahoo.co.uk).
Regards,
Barrister Frank Martins
