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 successout 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 nationalof Equatorial
Guinea, practicing in Dubai,United Arab Emirates.I writing to notifyyou
of the TESTAMENT of lateMr. Morris Thompson, an American who
unfortunatelylost his life in the plane crash of Alaska Airlines,Flight 261 which
crashed on January, 2000, includinghis wife and daughter. You can read
more on this ifyou 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 ThousandUnited States Dollars (US$18,500,000.00) in
Dubai, UAE as free cash economy in his effort to avoid theobligatory
payment of 40% income tax in the United States of America and most
European countries withstringent 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 overand 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 crasleaving nobody with the
knowledge of this huge deposit except me as his family lawyer. It is in
this regardthat 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
