Attention please! strictly confidential!

Greetings,

With all due respect, i guess my letter will not embarrass you, since i have no previous correspondence with you. i strongly believed, i would not regret approaching you in this matter. I am mr.charles brown, a solicitor at law and the personal attorney to late mr. Mark Michelle, a french national. late mr.mark Michelle is a private oil consultant/contractor with the shell petroleum development in saudi arabia, herein after shall be referred to as my client.

I have avery urgent and mutual business relationship to propose to you. On thursday june 6th 2000, my client and his wife with their three children were involved in an auto clash, all occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.Since then, i have made several enquiries with his country's embassies to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.

After these several unsuccessful attempts, i decided to personally contact you with this business partnership proposal. i have contacted you to assist in repatriating a huge amount of money left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the finance and security company where these huge deposit was lodged.

The deceased had a deposit valued presently at $12,000,000.00 million us dollars (twelve million united state dollars) and company has issued me a notice to provide his next of kin or beneficiary by will otherwise have the account confiscated within the next thirty working days.

Having been unsuccessful in locating any of my late client relatives for over two (2) years now. i am now seeking your consent to present you as the next of kin/beneficiary to the deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at $ 12 million united states dollars can be paid to you. it is not necessary to be a blood relation to late mr. mark michelle, neither is it necessary to bear the same surname with him. it is even not important for the stand-in next of kin to be a french national.

Already, i have worked out modalities for achieving my aim of appointing a next of kin as well as transfer the money abroad for us to share in the ratio of 60% for me and 40% to you. it is my intention to achieve this transfer in a legitimate way, all i required is your honest, co-operation,confidentiality and trust to enable us see this transaction through.

The money transfer paper work itself will include a certificate of origin so that the receiving bank does not ask question. also the paper work will include proper certificate that the fund being transferred is from non-criminal sources. In short this will be a proper and legal money transfer with apparently no risk involved. the transaction is guaranteed to succeed without any problem.

As soon as i hear from you, i shall provide you with further clarification that you may need.

Your urgent response will be highly anticipated and appreciated.


Best wishes,

Mr.Charles Brown.


Note: in the event you are not willing to assist, kindly notify me to prevent me from making further contact.

Notice who is sending the letter--that balding kid, with the crush on the little red-headed girl. I guess if he couldn't win a baseball game or even kick a football, he'll see if he can make it in the spamming racket.
