*Dear Rene Verra*

and willingness to render the anticipated assistance as was indicated in
your urgent response to my mail. Everything as you were nformed about is
for real and would be perfected as soon as possible for our mutual
benefit.Be rightly informed that the total amount deposited with the finance
house (WESTEXT CREDIT AND FINANCE SERVICE) is US$9.5M (Nine Million, Five
hundred Thousand United States Dollars only)and 40% of the total amount
would be your share for the vital role you are going to play and your
assistance towards actualizing our goal in this transaction.
However, before we shall proceed, I will like you to make a brief
introduction about yourself which enables me to know the person I am dealing
with better, especially as we are about establishing a sensitive and mutual
business relationship. The transaction that I have brought to you is a
transaction that requires absolute confidentiality and as such we need to
know and understand each other better as that remains the only way we can
work as a team to achieve our goal in this endeavor.
I want you to also understand that our success in this deal would be
determined by your good representation, genuine commitment and strict
adherence to all my instructions and guidelines. As a lawyer, I quite
understand what is obtainable here legally when it comes to matters of
inheritance as it is obviously in this case and as such I shall be here to
advise you as well as guiding you on how to follow up all proceedings to a
perfect and successful conclusion of this transaction to enable us ascertain
a hitch free transfer of the total sum into the account you would provide
for our mutual benefit. *
* As you may wish to know further, "NEXT OF KIN" in this clause simply means
a trusted person who can stand to defend or inherit someone's property or
wealth when the person is late. It could be the person's wife, children,
brothers and sisters, it could be the person's extended relatives, friends
or associate/ business colleagues as the case may be, provided that the
concerned person(s) or groups of individuals are able to provide all
necessary legal proofs and prerequisites as it affects claims of
Inheritance. In this transaction, you would be presented as a relative to
the deceased to enable us successfully place claims on the aforementioned
total sum he deposited with WESTEXT CREDIT AND FINANCE SERVICE before his
sudden death.
Furthermore, the deceased Dr.Lem Burnham is my client and I will not allow
the WESTEXT CREDIT AND FINANCE SERVICE to confiscate the depsited fund in
their custody. This is why am presenting you as the next of kin to
Dr.LemBurnham to enable us get the money from the WESTEXT CREDIT AND
FINANCE
SERVICE . *
*It is also imperative to let you know that as a lawyer and a personal
confidant to the deceased client of mine, I considere it unwise allowing the
said total sum get lost in the Finance Firm, since his bank account would be
confiscated at the expiration of due intervals as the account had remains
dormant and unserviceable for quite a long time now. The above reason was
why I contacted you to assist in rescuing the said funds for our mutual
benefit.
Understanding the reality of this business is very necessary. Becuase if you
do, you will do any thing to make it a huge success for our mutual benefits.
However, I am not aware of any expenses or where it will come from now, but
if we come across any expenses, You and I will offset the expenses. However,
the reality and efficacy of this business is assured and can be proved
further by having the business executed face to face.
To enable us move foward, I shall need the below stated information from
you.

4. Profession
5. Age
6.Marital Status*
*As soon as I receive the avove information from you, Meanwhile, I will
submit your contact information to the Finance Firm {WESTEXT CREDIT AND
FINANCE SERVICE} for the release of the funds to you as the Next of Kin and
Beneficiary of the fund.
Please confirm the receipt of the mail urgently. Thanks for your good
understanding and co-operations.
