Dear Pryce.

May the love and peace of God be with you and your family. I am
Barrister Peter George, a solicitor at law. I am the Personal
Attorney to Engr.Pryce. a National of your Country, who has lived
in my country for the past twenty years, and who hereinafter shall be
referred to as my client. In May 4, 2002, an Air Crash involvingnExecutiveAirlineService
EAS) BAC-1-11 Aircraft in Gwammaja Quarters, a densely populated
area in Kano State claiming the lives of about 102 persons both on board

and innocent persons around the Gwammaja Quarters. My client and his
family happen to be among the crashed victims.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating most especially, the
money left behind by my client before they get confiscated or
declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits were lodged.
Particularly, the Hallmark Bank Plc. where the deceased had an
account valued at about USD4, 150,000.00 (Four million, one hundred and
fifty
thousand United States Dollars only) has issued me a notice to
provide the Next of kin, or have the account confiscated. The request of
a
foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact
that the customer was a foreigner.
I therefore seek your consent to present you as the Next of kin of
the deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at 4.150 million
dollars can be paid to you, as my client's Next of Kin, so that you
and me can share the amount on a mutual agreed percentage. All legal
documents to back up your claim, as the deceased Next of Kin will be
provided. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this
deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of the law. Note that it does not
necessarily matter, whether you are
biologically related to the deceased or not. The fact that your name
has something to do with his is an express ticket to your assuming
the kinship to the deceased. As you can bear with me, a next of kin to
one, may be a Parent, Sister, Brother, Close Relative, Associate, Friend

or even a Well-wisher. So, whether you are related to him or not is
never a barrier to your kinship in the transaction.
Please direct your reply strictly to: peterchambersonline@mail2lawyer.com


I await your most urgent response so as to enable us discuss further
about this transaction and your entitlement on the transaction.
Best regards,

PETER T. GEORGE (Esq.)
