I am Mrs. Hazooran Khan,personal attorney to late Dr. Mohammed Atefof Pakistan, who died on the 7th of July 2005 in the suicide bombing attackhere in London almost two years ago.Being a Pakistan Oil consultant with the Briton Petroleum Corporation,Dr. Mohammed Atef made a numbered time(Fixed)Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at £8,600,000.00 (Eight Million six hundred thousand pounds) with First Citi Trust Finance Company.Several enquiries have been made to locate any of my client's extended relatives since his death but has proved unsuccessful. This is because my client is not a British and had no wife or children and Dr. Mohammed Atef has not declared any kin or relations in all his official documents,including his Bank Deposit paperwork in the Bank where he deposited the fund. This sum of [£8,600,000.00] is still sitting in the Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year.After these several attempts of locating the relatives of my late client forover a year now No one has come forward to claim the fund, my proposal is thatI want you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Dr. Mohammed Atef ofPakistan so that the fruits of this old man's labour will not get into thehands of some corrupt government officials here in london as I have beeninformed that if any one do not come for the claims, the fund will be declaredunserviceable and dumped into the british treasury as unclaimed fund.This is simple, I want you to provide immediately your full name and address sothat i will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits which will put youin place as the next of kin to my late client.All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this dealt through.Iguarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that willprotect you from any breach of the law,There is no risk at all as all thepaperwork for this transaction will be done by me and The money will be paidinto your account for us to share in the ratio of 50% for me and 50% for you assoon as we conclude this transaction.If you are interested, please reply immediately via my email address: hkhanlawyers@yahoo.co.ukOn your response, I shall provide you with more details regarding thistransaction. Please observe utmost confidentiality, and be rest assured thatthis transaction would be most profitable for both of us.
