Dear Sir/Madam,
Compliments of the day and how are you today? I hope all is well with you and your family. This mail may be a surprise to you because you did not give me the permission to do so and neither do you know me, but before I tell you about myself I want you to please forgive me for sending the mail without your permission I am Barr; Ben Douglas Junior, a legal practitioner, I am the personal attorney to Mr. Terry Steel a national of your country, who used to work with Chevron Nigeria limited, here in Nigeria. On the 27th of January 2003, my client, his wife and their three children were involved in Ikeja bomb blast here in my country. My client and his family unfortunately lost their lives.

Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to do some research in the internet, to locate any member of his family. That is why I have contacted you, and the reason why I contacted you is just to assist me in standing as the next of kin to Mr. Terry Steel so that we can secure the money and property left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where these huge deposits were lodged where my client deposited US$7.5Million dollars.
The Bank has issued 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 unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over two Years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased, so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$7.5Million dollars can be transferred to your account there in your country, then you and I can share the money.
I have all necessary legal documents that back up the claim we may make. All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us seeing this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
please indicate your readiness to assist me, so that all the informations about this funds will be passed to you immediately. You should send to me your full names, your private telephone numbers, fax number date of birth employment status, for easy communications. And also assure me of your trust and remember that the trust in business is confidentiality. So let it be only between me and you. If you give me your full cooperation and this transaction is properly executed, I am prepared to give you 40% of the total sum for your kind assistance.50% will be for me and 10% percent will be for charity.
Please send me your personal data to enable us proceed.
