JOHN ANDY BROWN
FINANCIAL CONSULTANT
63 UPLANDS DRIVE,
MARKFIELD, LEICESTERSHIRE,
LONDON LE67 9WF
I apologize for sending this mail to you but this is a matter of urgency and
I would like to clarify this matter with you My name is Mr. John Andy Brown,
attorney, financial consultant to late Mr.Richard an American originally
from Pennsylvania and a building contractor based here in the U.K. the 25th
of July 2000, my client, his wife Shirley, their daughter Josephine, her
husband, and their children all died in the Air France concord 990 plane
crashes over Hotelissimo on July 25, 2000.They were bound for New York in
their plan for a world cruise. For more information about this crash and
people, visit this
website:http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm since then I have
been managing his investments here in the U.K and on his direction
liquidated these investments into cash and deposited the proceeds into his
local account.
My client was a successful and an accomplished family man, who made enough
fortune before his untimely death. He left behind a large deposit in his
investment account in his local bank account here Upon his death, the bank
contacted me as his financial consultant and attorney to provide them with a
next of kin since the person he provided for them died with him in the crash
leaving a vacuum to be filled. I had made several inquiries on my own to
locate his next of kin but all has proved unsuccessful. I even contact his
country’s embassy here. Two weeks ago, the bank adopted a resolution and I
was mandated to provide his next of kin for the payment of this fund within
28 working days or forfeit the money to the bank as abandoned by the owner
with no trace of next of kin. The bankers had planned to invoke the
abandoned property decree of 1936 to confiscate the funds after the
expiration of the period given to me.
I tried to locate a next of kin on my own but wasn’t successful. Despairing
at the point of exhaustiveness, I contacted the US consulate here in the UK
and fortunately, they forwarded your name, to my utmost amazement; you are
from the same state with my client.
I am convinced that it was by the grace of God that made me to locate you.
Hence my mail to you it is my belief that you may be linked with my late
client or that you might provide clue to my search, I therefore, decided to
contact you with these facts before me because of the urgency of the
situation presently. By virtue of my closeness to the deceased and his
immediate family, I am very much aware of my client financial standing. I
have reasoned very professionally and I feel it will be legally proper to
present you as the next of kin of my deceased client so that you can be paid
the funds left in his bank account. I seek your consent to present you as
the Next of Kin to the Deceased since you are qualified as coming from the
same country with my client, so that the full proceed from this Bank Account
valued at $12.2 Million Dollars can be paid to you.
I am proposing a negotiated commission for my legal services. I have all the
required information and shall assemble all the necessary Legal Documents
that will be used to back up our claim all I require is your honest
co-operation to enable us seeing 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 personal consultant that this is a
risk-free transaction. Please get back to me immediately. I will bring you
into a more detailed picture of this transaction when I hear from you.

Regards
John Andy Brown
