Subject: PARTNERSHIP BUSINESS.
Dear Sir,
*PARTNERSHIP BUSINESS.*
I am a legal adviser to late Engineer Morris Boot who died in a car accident
along with the wife and the ONLY child on 30th of April 2006. My late client
was a successful businessman before his death.
I had vainly tried to find a trusted person who can join hands with me to
inherit the sum of US$25,500,000.00, which my late client left behind in
Europe. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to search
through online network, which motivated me to contact you. This money was
the credit that is outstanding with the ITALIAN Government on a Contract he
executed for them before his death.
In order to inherit this sum of US$25,500,000.00, you will be required to
buy a Company first in Europe to become legitimate owner of the fund. I
shall be recommending for you a European Agent who will assist you in
purchasing and acquisition of a new Company in Europe to legitimately
inherit the fund.
You are please advised to contact me directly through the phone number
+44702 402 6590, should you require more details. You can also contact me
through email for security reasons. Email: info.associates@yahoo.com.
Therefore, on receipt of your reply, we shall then discuss further details.
My Kindest Regards,
Martin Craig. (Esq.)
