Dear friend

, a foreigner,who use to work with Jangle Cement Company here in
Nigeria, on the 2nd of Dec. 2002, my client and his wife ,got involved in a
car accident, all occupants of the vehicle nfortunately lost there
lives. Since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of my
clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After these
several unsuccessful attempts,I decided to trace his relatives over the
internet, to locate any member of his family but of no avail, hence I
contacted you. I have contacted you to assist in repartrating the fund
left behind by my late client because the bank have asked me as his lawyer
to produce his next of kin.
Particularly, Bank have given me a notice to provide the next of kin to
claim the contract valued at about US$11 Million Dollars or have the amount
confisicated ,since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives
for over years, now I seek your conscent to present you as the next of kin
of the deceased since your a foreigner and have the same surname so that
the proceeds of this account valued at US$11 Million can be paid to you.
All I require is your honest coperation to enable us see this dealt through
.I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of the law of your country and my
country too as a professional legal attorney in the field.
Finally,kindly maintain confidentiality between me and you on this
transaction. Note: Some of the lawyers in my office have been plaining to
divert this particular amount of money US$11M but they failed because I
never authorized anybody to do that,as the principal attorney of this
estate I hereby urge your assistance to get this fund transfer into your
account legitimately which I am assuring. In some of my lawyers may contact
you in different ways concerning this claim,but don't respond to me by
forwarding me the mesage they send you so that I can get them sacked. Upon
your consideration of this transaction,you are hereby asked to send the
