Subject: NEXT OF KIN
FROM THE DESK OF DENNIS MABASSOGO
MBASSOGO CHAMBERS & ASSOCIATES
(ABOGADO)
SOLICITORS, ADVOCATES AND NOTARY PUBLIC
In my search for someone I can trust to consummate
this noble business opportunity that is presently at my
disposal, and with the opportunities to make a great success
out of it, I decided to search the Internet Peoples Finder
Directory, and I privately made a confidential search where
I got your contact I chose to propose this transaction to you,
with the hope that you will partner with me to
make this transaction a great success.
I am Dennis Mbassogo, an Attorney at Law, a national
of Equatorial Guinea, practicing in Dubai,United Arab
Emirates.
I am writing to notifyyou of the TESTAMENT of late
Mr. Morris Thompson, an American who unfortunately
lost his life in the plane crash of Alaska Airlines,
Flight 261 which crashed on January, 2000, including
his wife and daughter. You can read more on this if
you visit these websites:
http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/
My client (late Morris Thompson) before his death made
a deposit of Eighteen Million Five Hundred Thousand
United States Dollars (US$18,500,000.00) in Dubai, UAE
as free cash economy in his effort to avoid the
obligatory payment of 40% income tax in the United
States of America and most European countries with
stringent banking rules in its monetary policies.
Since we got information about his death, we have been
expecting his Next of Kin or relatives to come over
and claim his deposit because the bank cannot release
these funds unless a formal application is made in
accordance with the UAE law oninheritance claim.
Regrettably, I learnt that his supposed Next of Kin,
which could be his spouse or his only daughter died
along with him in the ugly Alaska airline crash
leaving nobody with the knowledge of this huge deposit
except me as his family lawyer. It is in this regard
that I and two officials of the bank decided to
solicit your assistance, by presenting you as the next
of kin to the deceased. We have agreed on the
following sharing ratios; 20% for your assistance and
80% for me and the bank officials.
NB: This transaction is very confidential and 100%
risk free as I have a copy of his LAST WILL AND
TESTAMENT which I can alter to affix your name as the
TRUSTEE & EXECUTOR. This transaction shall be executed
under legitimate and legal procedures that will
protect you from any breach of the Law.
Conclusively, we shall await your response to include
the followings:
(1).Your full name andaddress. (2).Your telephone and
fax numbers. (3).Your business name if any.
The above information you can forward either by email,
fax or telephone.
Yours faithfully,
Dennis Mbassogo
