Subject: HELLO
May all good things come to you as we become acquainted. I am Semahat Arsel, Turkish, widowed, 88yrs, but without child. What is not known about my daily struggle is that my relatives are taking advantage of me, greedily possessing my wealth. After causing chaos about the family wealth as soon as my nephew, the former chairman of Koc holdings passed in January, they now seek my personal wealth but I would rather give to someone of choice, even though I never met them before.
I have asked my Attorneys about the legal exigencies of giving out financial gifts to foreigners and they have given clear confirmation that all that is required is a ‘change of ownership right’ and this is what I have done. I am giving sums worth â¬80 Million Euros and this would be distributed among 20 individuals/company/churches/mosque/NGOs.
It is my intention that you be included. You will receive the exact amount of â¬3,820,000.00 Euros. You do not need to do anything other than confirm acceptance, sign the ‘change of ownership right’. It would be transferred to you thereafter.
Please address your message only to me on same email ([email protected]) Confirming your full name and address. This would be used to append the ‘change of ownership right’ in your favour.
Waiting to hear from you.
