Greetings

My name is {Removed PII}, I am Canadian; I am the Founder/President of ALAIN PATENAUDE INC.I am on the BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF NORTH AMERICAN FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, Inc USA which is a BANK HOLDING COMPANY with subsidiary banks in the United States,United Kingdom and the Island of Seychelles.

I have the opportunity of transferring a substantial amount of money to you from one of the subsidiary banks in Europe. The money was deposited a few years back by a wealthy contractor who is now deceased and fortunately you have the same SURNAME with the depositor. Considering the fact that the depositor has no traceable relative who will eventually apply for the claim, I decided to contact you so that you can apply for claim "WITH MY ASSISTANCE" and take custody of the funds for our mutual benefit. I will not mention the amount of money which runs into millions of Dollars and name of bank presently until we have agreed to deal. I trust you will understand the need for such precautions.

Please note; in 2001, I succeeded in claiming $32million with the help of an American Named Ms Sharon Sattler, but by the time I went to receive my share of the money from her 2 days after the money was released into her account, she had changed her home address and moved out of CALIFORNIA to another state and till date, I am still searching for her. But because it was a deal and confidential matter, I could not seek legal action against her or even inform the authorities. So to ensure that I do not make the same MISTAKE I made in 2001, I will have to meet with you physically for discussion before we can proceed with the deal.

I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT MY PROPOSAL IS NOT A HOAX, AS I AM READY TO PROVE MY IDENTITY TO YOU AND THE REALITY OF THE DEAL WITH VERIFIABLE DOCUMENTS.I AM SURE OF SUCCESS IN THIS DEAL BECAUSE I HAVE DONE THIS BEFORE. For more details, here is my direct contact email ID : {Removed PII}

Thank you in anticipation as I wait to receive your response.
