Compliments of the New Year,
Contacting you through this medium is not the best for this transaction but I have no choice other than to use a very fast means, as there is no room for delay in this transaction. I am Mr. Morris More, an auditor of one of the finance corporations in London. I came to know about you in my private search for a reliable person/company to handle an important assignment for me. As a matter of fact, I got your information from Keith Peace of the Lichfield district business club who happens to be a good friend of my wife.
A Russian Mr. Andrea Bazalej, 48 years of age and a prosperous oil merchant had in our Bank the sum of $50.8 million in a domiciliary account. Sadly, he died on March 6, 2003 in an Algerian Boeing 737-200 which crashed shortly after takeoff from Tamanrasset airport, killing all but one of the 97 passengers and six crew members on board. Sources confirming this
tragic event that led to this loss can be traced to the following links:

Efforts had been made by the management of my bank through the Russian Embassy in the UK to contact any of the deceased children but to no avail, as we were made to understand that he had no children. Owing to the skeletal information he used in opening of the account, it has so far been impossible to reach any of the relatives.
Following the long existence of this deposit without claims from any quarters, the Management is planning to declare the deceased account dormant and revert the amount to trading on behalf of the interest of the Bank. In order to avoid this development, I now seek your approval to have you stand as a distant relative to Mr. Andrea Bazalej, so that the money would be released to you. Your nationality or country of origin will not be asked for and is not relevant as there is no mention of any beneficiary by the depositor. All documents and proofs to enable you get the money will be carefully packaged once I receive your consent on this proposal. I shall Apply for a leave as soon as the funds gets into your reliable account to come to your country for possible sharing and investment opportunity which you will assist me in doing.
I am assuring you that this is safe and risk-free, as I have taken care of all necessary modalities to ensure a hitch-free movement. Should you be willing to assist me in this, your share would be 30% of the $50.8 million I have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will not disappoint me.
Yours Sincerely,
Mr. Morris More.
