ATTN Sir/Ma,
It is obvious that this proposal will come to you as a suprise.This is
because we have not met before but I am inspired to sending you this email

Engr.Ronald Anderson a national of Isle of Man in UK, who used to work with
Shell Petroleum Development Company(SPDC) in Nigeria. On the 11th of
November,1997.
My client,his wife And their three children were involved in a car accident
along Sagamu/Lagos Express Road.Unfortunately they all lost their lives in
the event of the accident, Since then I have made several enquiries to
several Embassies to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has
also proved unsuccessful.After these several unsuccessful attempts, I
decided to trace his relatives over the Internet to locate any member of his
family but of no avail, hence I contacted you.I contacted you to assist in
repartrating the money and property left behind by my client,I can easily
convince the bank with my legal practice that you are the only surviving
relation of my client.Otherwise the Estate he left behind will be
Confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits
were lodged.Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an account valued
at about $15 million U.S dollars(fifteen million U.S.America dollars).
Conseqently, The bank is sued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have
the account Confiscated within the next ten official working days.Since I
have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over several years
now.I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased,so
that the proceeds of this account valued at $15million U.S dollars can be
paid to your account and then you and me can share the money. 55% to me and
40% to you,while 5% should be for
expenses or tax as your government may require.All I require is your honest
cooperation to enable us see this deal through, and forward the following to
