Subject: NEXT OF KIN
Bretch Ximenes Chambers

Ikeja, Lagos-Nigeria.
ATTN: NEXT OF KIN
Dear Friend,
I know that you must have recieved the first letter I sent to you by
post, but if you have not, here comes a follow-up to the letter. Let me
start by Formally introducing myself to you. I am BARRISTER TUNDE
JOHNSON a Legal practitioner to the General and Commercial Chambers. I am
attorney and friend to Mr. JAMES BALZANO a national of your country. Who
I shall refer to as my client. On the 4th of May 2002, my client,his
wife and their only son were involved in a plane crash when a BAC
One-Eleven jet with registration 5N-ESF operated on a flight from Jos to
Lagos
via Kano. Over 76 passengers died in the incidence, unfortunately my
friend and his family lost their lives.
Since then I have made several inquiries to locate any of my clients
extended relatives, which has proved unsuccessful. After these several
unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track your email address through
internet to assist me in transfering the fund as a foreigner hence I
contacted you. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the fund
valued at US$21 million left behind by my client before it gets confiscated
or declared unserviceable by the Bank. The Bank has issued a notice,
for the next of kin to come for the money or have the account turned over
to the "UNCLAIMED DIVIDEND TRUST FUND" by their next board meeting. For
the fact that no relatives has shown up during this past period of time
now and since I am not sure how to reach his relatives of my deceased
client, I decided to contact you, hence I
seek your consent to present you as the next of kin/partner to the
deceased, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you.
Therefore, on receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss the
modalities for transfer. I have all necessary information and can pull up
legal documents needed to back you up for the claim from the files.
All I require from you, is your honest cooperation to enable us see
this transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under
legitimate arrangement that will protect you and me from any breach of the
law. Please get in touch with me for more details.
Best Regards,
