Dear Friend,
This is a personal email directed to you and I request that it be treated as
such. I am Augustine Tony Esq. I am the personal attorney/sole executor to
the late Burke, Sean(Mr.), An American citizen who died in a plane
crash[Korean Air Flight 801] with the whole passengers on board on August
6,1997.And for your perusal you can view this web site

My client was a contractor to British National Petroleum Co-operation
(BNPC), and had left behind a deposit of Fifteen Million British Pounds
Sterling only (£15,000,000.00) with a bank here in United Kingdom where I am
presently residing.
The funds originated from contract transactions he executed in his
registered area of business. Just after his death, I was contacted by his
bank to provide his next of kin; reasons being that his deposit agreement
contains a residuary clause giving his personal attorney express authority
to nominate the beneficiary to his funds. Unknown to the bank here in London
United Kingdom, my client had left no possible trace of any of his close
relative with me, making all efforts in my part to locate his family
relative to be unfruitful since his death.
Note down from my clients own story, he was only adopted and his foster
parents whom he lost in 1976, according to him, had no possible trace of his
real family. By virtue of my closeness to the deceased and his immediate
family, I am very much aware of my client's financial standing. I do
sincerely sympathize the death of my client, but had thought it unprofitable
for his funds to be submitted to the government of this country and the
finance institution where the fund is lodged.
On this note, I decided to search for a credible person and I was urged to
contact you to put up a claim to the bank in that capacity as a next of
kin/will beneficiary to my client, so that the proceeds of his bank account
valued at Fifteen Million British Pounds Sterling only (£15,000,000.00) can
be paid to you, before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable to the
bank where this huge deposit is lodged. Note that this is legal and 100%
risk free.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of law. As I said, I require only a solemn
confidentiality on this.
Please get in touch via my alternative email augustinetony46@yahoo.co.uk
For better confidentiality and if okay by you, send me your full name and
address, telephone and fax numbers to enable us discuss further on this
transaction and also to enable me go to the high court here in London and
secure all legal documentation on your behalf to enable you get the legal
backing to the claim If this proposal is acceptable by you.
I am looking forward to your understanding and co-operation.
Yours In Service
