Dear,


I am barrister REAL ROBINSON a barrister at law. I am the
personal attorney to Mr.LEE WONG a Chinese, who is an Engr., a
sole owner of PALEK Construction Company, CARRE 110-118, PK15 RUE
DE OUAGADOUGOU, BURKINA-FASO, Here in after shall be referred to
as my client. On the 21st of April 2001, my client, his wife and
their three children were involved in a car accident along
OUAGA-BOOB express way. All occupants of the vehicle
unfortunately lost there lives.Since then I have made several
enquiries to There embassy to locate any of my clients extended
relatives this has also proved unsuccessful.

After these several unsuccessful attempts, I have contacted you
to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by
my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable
by the Government of Burkina-Faso/bank. Where this huge amount
was deposited by my client.Particularly, the bank in Burkina-Faso
where the deceased had a dormant account valued at about 6.4
million U.S Dollars has issued me a notice to provide the next of
kin or have the fund confiscated within the next 60 official
working days.

Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over
2 years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin
of the deceased since the bank is ready to welcome anybody who
applied as the next of kin despite your race so that the proceeds
of this account valued at 6.4 million U.S Dollars can be claim by
you and then you and I can share the money. 70% to me and 25% to
you while 5% is set aside for expenses incurred during the
transaction.I have all necessary legal documents that can be use
to back up any claim we may make. All I require is your honest
cooperation to enable us seeing this deal through. I guarantee
that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law. Please get in touch
with me by my email to enable us discuss further and to send my
full contact address.

Best regards,

Barr. Real Robinson.
