Dear Friend,
I really do not want you to see this mail as a surprise,
it took me a whole lot of time to decide on whom to TRUST and present
for this claim.
I was privileged to find you through the Internet I
am a legal practitioner and the personal attorney to late Mr. Wills a
national of your country.
My client, his wife and their two children
were involved in A Kenya Airways Airbus A310 jet carrying 169
passengers and 10 crew members crashed into the sea Sunday night,
shortly after takeoff from Abidjan. The flight originated in Nairobi
and was meant to stop over in Lagos but flew directly to Abidjan
because of weather conditions over Lagos.
In view of this please view

My client was a successful and an
accomplished gentleman. I have made several attempts through your
embassy to locate any surviving relative as to reconcile his estate.
In addition, the Internet was used to no avail. Recently, I came across
your name to utmost amazement discovered that you both bear the same
surname and from the same country.
At stake is all of these, is a
deposit of U$D 5. 9 M (Five million nine hundred Thousand US dollars)
in my client domiciliary account here with one of the commercial bank.
After my client’s demise, his bankers instructed me to contact his
next
of kin for the legal transfer of the above stated amount.
There is a
stipulation that the next of kin must be identified within a given
period or the money will be forfeited as abandoned.
The abandoned
property degree of 1996 gives the bank a legal authority for such a
decision.
I am convinced that you may be linked with my late client
or that you might be able to provide a clue.
I therefore, decided to
contact you based on the already mentioned similarities. With every
sense of professionalism, coupled with fairness, it will be legally
proper to present you as the next of kin. If you so agree, the sum of
U$D 5. 9 M (Five million nine hundred thousand US dollars) will be
transferred to you, your share of the funds is 40% and 60% for me.
Be
rest assured that as you comply to my directing this transaction will
be executed in a legitimate arrangement that will prevent you from any
breach of law in your country as it would be back with official
documentation endorsed by the supreme court of Nigeria to legalize the
claim of this transaction.
All I require is your honest cooperation to
enable us conclude this transaction successfully.
Be rest assured
this will be executed through a legitimate process that will absolutely
protect you from any breach of law.

Please get in touch with me at your
earliest convenience.
