Dear Friend,

I am Barrister John Uwere,a solicitor at law. the personal attorney to late
Mr. Robert Chapman the African Area Director of SIL International,who unfortunately
died in the crash of Kenya Airways Flight 431 inAbidjan, Ivory Coast, January
30 2000.Mr. Chapman Hailed from Hamilton,Ontario Canada.

Since the death of Chapman, I as his personal attorney, have made several
enquiries to locate his only surviving relation, without any success. I
came across your name and contact on the course of my personal searching
for Chapman's relations, so I decided to contact
you for this project.

I am contacting you to assist in repatriating and securing the wealth left
behind in a fixed deposit account by Robert, before they get confiscated
or declared unserviceable by Finance Bank Nig Plc where
my client operates an account worth $USD 11.5 Million Dollars. The board
of Finance Bank has issued me a notice that after 2 months from now and
no next of kin shown up for the claiming of the said funds, the funds will
be confiscated and declared unserviceable. Since I and
my team have been unsuccessful in locating Robert's relatives for sometime
now,it on this note that I seek your consent to present you as the Next
of Kin of the deceased since you are a foreigner, so that the proceed of
this deposit valued at $USD 11.5 Million Dollars
can be releasedto you for our disbursments. I and my team have agreed to
offer you 25% of the total sum,opon sucessful remittance of funds into your
bank account,5% has been set aside to cover all expeses incurred both local
and international, during the course of this
transfer.,while 70% will be for me and my team.

All requires is your honest cooperation to enable us see this business successful.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement which
will protect you from any breach of the law. Robert was a very good man
and it is not wise for me to allow his hard earned ealthto be stolen by
the greedy directors of Finance Bank.Further details

awaits your response by email.(johnuwere2@box.az) PLEASE,

phone and fax number,when replying this proposal. Yours faithfully,
