Good Day,
I am Barrister Michael Lee, an attorney at law. A deceased client of
mine, who hereinafter shall be referred to as my client, died as the
result of a heart-
related condition on the 11 November 2001. His heart condition was due
to the death of all the members of his family in the Gulf Air Flight
Crashes in Persian Gulf Near Bahrain Aired August 23, 2000 - 2:50 p.m.
ET as reported
on:http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0008/23/bn.08.html
I have contacted you to assist in distributing the money left behind by
my client before it is confiscated or declared unserviceable by the
bank where this deposit valued at EIGHTEEN MILLION TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND
UNITED STATES DOLLARS. ($18, 200. 000.00 USD).
is lodged. This bank has issued me a notice to contact the next of kin,
or the account will be confiscated.
My proposition to you is to seek your consent to present you as the
next-of-kin and beneficiary of my named client, so that the proceeds
of this account can be paid to you. Then we can share the amount on a
mutually agreed-upon percentage.
All legal documents to back up your claim as my client's next-of-kin
will be provided. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us
see this transaction through.
This will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect
you from many breach of the law. If this business proposition offends
your moral values, do accept my apology.
I must use this opportunity to implore you to exercise the utmost
indulgence to keep this matter extraordinary confidential, whatever
your decision, while I await your prompt response. Please contact me at
once to indicate your interest. Reply to me here Email:

Best regards, Barrister Michael Lee, (Attorney at Law)
