ethics For the
fact based on what is going on all over the world in the internet people do

I write with sincerity to seek your cooperation and assistance to enable me

My name is KARL NEWE and I am a U.K based attorney.I had a client who was a

France
concord plane crash.For more information regarding the crash please visit :

I have been in charge of managing his properties here in the U.K for a long
time.There
are some of his properties put out for sale before his death which I
monitored and
for which payment has since been made.The proceeds of the sale was deposited
into
his local account here.As his recognised attorney,his bank has issued me a
notice to
provide his next-of-kin within a short time.
The problem is that I have not been able to locate his relatives and which
means I
have NOT been able to provide his next-of-kin.The deadline is almost
elapsing.I want
you to collaborate with me & assist in repatriating all the money left
behind by my
client before it gets confiscated or the account declared unserviceable by
his bank.
Therefore I am by this mail now SEEKING YOUR CONSENT to present you as the
next-of-kin of the deceased so that the OUTSTANDING BALANCE SUM of this
account presently valued at US$15.5 Million dollars can be paid to
you.Thereafter we
shall meet and the funds shall be shared between both of us.We can both
agree on a
mutually acceptable percentage to be shared between us.But I hereby propose
we
share the funds 60/40 percent ratio ( 50%-to me and 40% to you and 10% for
charity
).
I can provide all necessary information that can be used to back up the
process of
this financial claim we are to make.All I require is you will be executed
under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law in
wherever
you want the funds transfered to.Trust me, as his attorney I assure you that
this is a
risk-free business.A swift acknowledgement of the receipt of this mail would
be
appreciated.
To enable us commence the prosecution of this transaction, I require from
you the
following urgently by email: newkarl@gawab.com
