Dear Friend,
Regarding My Late Client,
I crave your indulgence for this unsolicited nature it was out of
desperation and eagerness that made me to contact you. to introduce myself

conscious search for a reliable and matured person who has all it takes to
execute this project.

confidence to solicit for your help in executing this opportunity.
However, I was moved to contact you based on the present situation of this
opportunity which i may say that it is a God given offer, there was a
foreigner who lived here in NIGERIA some time ago called Arthur Billings by
name, and it happened that the man registered with me as his personal
attorney, unfortunately the man died with his wife and their two kids in a
plane crash which happened on 30th October, 2003. Owing to the death of this
man called Arthur Billings by name, his bank called on me for his balance
with the bank as his attorney since January 2000,to invite his relatives to
come and claim the money, I tried all i could to trace his family, but all
my efforts proved abortive, then from January this year 2003,till now, the
bank has been pressurizing me to look for his family because they realize
that a lot of swindlers have been forwarding application to claim the money
as his next of kin, but it happened that after much verification, they will
find out that those people were crooks, because they cannot provide a legal
evidence to prove that they were his relative.
Moreover, I have decided to use you as his next of kin to
claim the money for my own personal use as it happen that his
relatives were not available up till now, and i have all his
documented memo in my file which will back you up before the bank as his
next of kin, I will still obtain a genuine legal evidence which i will make
out in your name to satisfy that you are the rightful next of kin to the
deceased.
Furthermore ,the amount involved is ($12.750,000.00)Twelve
Million, Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand United States
Dollars, therefore i will like you to furnish me with your full name
and address which i will use to secure the legal documents, as soon as i
receive your address, I will forward an application to you which you will
submit to the concerned bank as his next of kin.

protect you from any breach of the law. Please send in
your full name and your phone no. as soon as you show

the necessary arrangements to back you up in claiming the fund.
