- I am Barr.Michael Edwards, of the Michael Edwards legal chambers,London, United kingdom.A citizen of United Kingdom. I have a business proposal that will be of immense benefit to both of us. I am the attorney/ financial representative of late Mr. Charles Russel,whom I rendered legal services to for a very considerable period of years,he was an American businessman, Sometime in 1999, he died along side his immediate family, after a fatal plane crash.Further proof of the death of Mr. Charles Russell is in the following web pages for you to make confirmations and further research abouthisdeath: ttp://archives.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/index.html Before his death he confided in me as his attorney that he made a huge sum of money (Fixed Deposit) for twenty years, valued at Twelve million US dollars ($12 Millions) in a bank here in the United Kingdom, this information is privy to me alone as his personal attorney.After his death I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address in America but got no reply,since I wanted to be extra sure that he does not have any surviving relatives who may know of this fund,or who should have right to claim the fund. This sum has since been sitting in the bank unserviceable and the Bank had asked me to present the NEXT OF KIN as soon as possible or have the fund confiscated.Consequently, what I propose is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to the late, Mr. Charles Russell.Acting in this capacity really is simple as I would want us to act as a partner only in this transaction in which i will prepare the court WILL in your name as my late client's beneficiary and back date it up at the registry of the high court of justice here in the United Kingdom, so that the fund could be transferred successfully to you,through your nominated bank account in your country. I want you to know that this transaction is 100% risk free, everything that will back your claims to this inherited fund will be done legally and according to the laws of the United Kingdom.I am certain that we can conclude this transaction successfully as soon as I received relevant information from you as I have outlined below:Your Full Name:Age:Profession/Occupation:Your Present address;Your confidential Telephone number I will be expecting your immediate response to this regard.GOD BLESS YOU.Yours faithfully,Michael Edwards
