Dear.
With due esteem respect please I beg your pardon for this unsolicited
nature, it was out of desperation and curiosity that made me to contact you.
To introduce myself, I am MR.KINGSLEY EMMANUEL, I am the personal accountant
to Mr. John Edwin, a national of your country, who used to work with one of
the Biggest Oil Servicing Company here in London, herein shall be referred
as my customer.On the Thursday July 7, 2005 3:01 PM, my customer, his wife
{Lady Juliet and their two children {Rose and Dan} were involved in a Three
blasts rocked the London subway and one tore open a packed double-decker bus
during the morning rush hour Thursday, sending bloodied victims fleeing in
what a shaken Prime Minister Tony Blair called ``barbaric'' terrorist
attacks. A U.S. law enforcement official said at least 40 people were killed
and London hospitals reported more than 300 injured, unfortunately, him and
his family were victims that lost their lives. You can view this

Since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of my customer,
extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.After these several
unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his last name over the Internet,
to locate any member of his family or any close name to his, hence I
contacted you. I am contacting you to assist in repatriating the money and
property left behind by my client before they get liquidate or declare it
unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits were lodged, Lloyds TSB
Bank London, where the deceased had his account valued precisely to be
USD$15M (Fifteen Million United States Dollars).
The bank has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the
account liquidated within the next twenty one official working
days.Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you to stand in as the
next of kin to, so that the fruits of this old man's labor will not get into
the hands of some group of corrupt government officials who will get rid of
the money and share it for their own selfish interest and greed.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 3 weeks
now, I seek your prompt 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 USD$15M can be paid to you and then you and I can share
the money according to any agreed ratio.All I require is your honest
co-operation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will
be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any
breach of the law.Looking forward to your response in this proposal if you
are intrested,and i will give you more detailed informations including my
personal tel numbers for easy communication.
Truly yours,
MR. KINGSLEY EMMANUEL.
