CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This mail transmission is been sent by a lawyer.

Dear Knutson, I am Barrister Tokunbo E. Williams, an attorney at law. A deceased client of mine, by name Mr. Mark Knutson,who herein after shall be referred to as my client, his wife and their only daughter died in a plane crash in October 29, 2006 aboard (ADC Airline Plane) traveling from Abuja Nigeria. PLEASE VIEW THESE WEBSITE BELOW TO CONFIRM The crash was in news media around the world and further information about the crash can be found in the link below:http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15470556/You can verify who I am from this links below:http://www.scn.gov.ng/portal/detail.php?link=san I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money left behind by my client before it is confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this deposit valued at 9.1million dollars is lodged. This bank has issued me a notice to contact the next of kin, or the account will be confiscated because there is a government gazzette/mandate/authorising all banks to freeze or confiscate any account that has not been servicable in a long period of time,this is geared towards capital flight for the economy. My proposition to you is to seek your consent to present you as the next-of-kin and beneficiary of my named client, since you have the same last name with my deceased client,so thatthe proceeds of this account can be paid to you. Then we can share the amount on a mutually agreed-upon percentage,of which,45% will be for me,40% for you,10% for any reputable charity home because this fund belongs to a deseased man and 5% set aside for any expenses we might incure the course of this transaction. All legal documents to back up your claim as my client's next-of-kin will be provided. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through.This will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.If this business proposition offends your moral values,do accept my apology but if not, then contact me at once to indicate your interest, By giving me your telephone number so that i too can contact you. Yours sincerely, Tokunbo E. Williams(Principal Attorney)
