My Dear,



REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE


It is my humble pleasure to write you this letter Irrespective of the fact that
you do not know me.However, I am in search of a reliable and trustworthy Person
that can handle a
confidential transaction of this nature.

My late client who expatriate in my country, On 30 Jan 2000,with his wife and
their one child were involved in the air crash which departed from Lagos to his
destination Germany and all the family died in this fatal air mishap on 30 Jan
2000. Before his death, deposited consignment containing $18,000,000.00 United
Sates Dollars with a Security Company in switzerland.He accumulated this money
from an onshore engineering award. since I found it unsuccessful to find a true
relative of his,the company have given me mandate,and I can't claim this
consignment Alone without a foreigner's help.please I want you to quickly file
in for claim before the security company will declare the consignment
unserviceable.

The said money was packed in cash in three boxes, the boxes were not opened,
and he declared them as containing just family valuables of classified
documents and photographic materials. He paid a high price for the special
diplomatic service of deposit here (a category of deposit in which a customer's
consignment is never opened for inspection).

This is why I am writing to you so that I will assist you claim this
consignment. I will prepare every documentation that will assist your claim.
The consignment will be released within 10 working days after the next of kin
have filed in for claims.and we will use 10% for charity help,so that his
gentle soul will be glad where ever it is. I will like you to acknowledge the
receipt of this e-mail as soon as possible, while you also include telephone
and fax number for easy communication.

Sincerely,

Barrister Parka (ESQ)
