Subject: Hello
Attn dear Friend,
With due respect and humility,I write to you irrespective of the fact
that you don't know me.I got your contact through the international
directory and publication in Inter-net, when I was making inquiry for
foreign
assistance.I have decided to contact you and bestow this trust in you,
which I pray you will not ignore or betray me and apologise in advance
for any inconveniences this may cause you, handle it discretely and contact
me urgently if you can assist me in this transaction.
I am Barrister SADIQ SANI,International Legal Practitioner
and a Consultant to Mr.Awad Doskey,a Lebanese Importer of Textiles and
Automobiles, based in Cotonou,Republic of Benin for the past fifteen
years.Unfortunately, my client Mr.Awad Doskey and his family died in
the ill-fated plane crash involving a Boeing 727 UTA chartered flight that

deposit totaling US$3 Million(Three Million U .S .A Dollars) with a
Finance Company here. The money is mature be claimed by the depositor or
his next of kin within 7 working days, else the fund will confiscated by
the firm. I must confess to you that if I do not find a way to claim this
funds from the Finance Institution, I will be doing the greatest
injustice to my late friend and his family.
This is why I decided to browse extensively through the internet and
send some letter, in search of a relaible contact person who can stand in
as a next of kin of my late friend / client so we can have this funds
retrieved and invested judiciously.
There are no risks involved as I am the only person who has access to
my client's documents.The Finance Institution has just sent a reminder to
my client through me,informing him of the maturity of his fund so I
suggest we expedite action on this immediately.Your share of the fund is
subject to negotiations. Reply urgently, as we must
conclude this transcation and have this consignment funds within 7
working day upon their receive of our application as the next of kin.Do
