Attn:Sir,

I am delighted to contact you at this moment of need i am very very and
more than sorry for any inconviniencis this letter might cause you butifervently
Pray God Allmighty father would grant you the courage and understanding.

First of all Good morning and compliments of the season .I am Reverend Duru
C. Alex ,a Reverend by God'S calling and a doctor by profession Iam a personal/close
Friend to Mr. Jacson Rimmer Anold, a national of your country,who used
to work with shell development company here in Nigeria.

On the 18Th of June 1999, my Friend, his wife And their three children were
involved in a car accident along Portharcourt Warri express road.All occupants
of the vehicle unfortunately lost there lives. Since then Ihave made severalenquiries
to your embassy to locate any of my Friends extended relatives this has
also proved unsuccessful.

After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his last name
over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted
you. I have contacted you to assist in repartrating the money and propertiesleft
behind by my Friend before they get confisicated or declared unserviceable
by the finance firm where this huge deposits were lodged.

Particularly,the Bank where my Friend had an account valued atabout 10 million
dollars has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account
confisicated within the next ten official working days.

Sequel to the above, i have been unsuccesfull in locating the 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 last name so that the
proceeds of this account valued at 11Million dollarscan be paid to you and
then you and me can share the money.

I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim
we may make.All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this
dealt through.

I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from an breach of the law.Please get in touch with me by
my phone number,please reply me through these my email ADDRESSES below
immediately you read this letter (My emaill addresses are Or:durualex@hotmail.com,durualex@jumpy.it,durualexh@tiscali.co.uk
,durualexf@tiscali.co.uk).Send to me immediately your private phone and
fax numbers for easy communictions
your company name and address including your bank name and address and your
account number where you want this money to be transfered.

Bear in mind this project would last for only 10 working days and this money
US$10 dollars will be transfered into your norminated bank account.

More so i want to remind you i will negotiate the sharing ratio with you
immediately you receive this inheritance fund into your norminated bank
account when i come to your country, although your own share will be higher
than mine because i believe in law of natural justice, equity and fainess.

Thanks and God bless you for your response.

Best regards,
REV.DURU C.ALEX .
