Your attention is needed.
I am contacting you in regards to a business transaction of a huge sum of money from a deceased customer's account who On the 25th of July 2000, the deceased, his wife, their two Children and his wife's parents died in the Air France concord plane crash bound for New York in their plan for a world cruise. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm
Although I know that a transaction of this magnitude might make anyone apprehensive,I would like to assure you that I am sending you this mail with the best of intensions.My Bank has made several enquiries to embassy embassy to locate any of my clients extended Relatives and this has proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his surname over the Internet,to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you. I do not mean to be greedy or otherwise but since your surname tallies with that of our late customer/client, i would appreciate it if we can both work on this venture in terms of making claims of this money. I am even ready to work with you if you are not related to our late customer/client.
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 bank where this huge deposit(6.2 Million Pounds approx $10.5M) were lodged. Particularly, where the deceased had an account valued at Millions of Dollars has issued me a notice as his accounting officer to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next 30 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 you have the same surname so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you and then you and i can share the money.
Together,we can secure all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up this claim that you will 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 email me at this Private Email Box: mails@di-ve.com
Thanks and God Bless.

Mr. James Edwards
