Dear Friend,
Before I start,I must first Apologize for this unsolicited proposal
to you.I am aware that this is certainly an unconventional approach
to starting a relationship,but as time goes on you will realize the
need for my action.
My name is Tunde Abayomi, Solicitor to Gerald Welsh, who died
with his wife in an air crash on the 31st October 1999
in an Egyptian airline flight990.
For confirmation check

Before the death of Gerald Welsh, he maintained a fixed deposit
account with a Financial services Company here in the UK (details
of which I will disclose to you later). Since his death, none of
his relatives have come to make claims for this money as his
beneficiary, and the Security Company cannot release the fund from
his account unless someone applies for claims, as next-of-kin to the
deceased as indicated in there Security Company guidelines.
The Security Company has made several futile efforts to contact his
relatives.As personal Lawyer to Mr.Gerald Welsh I am aware that he
was a secretive person and did not want anybody to know about the bank
account.He infact asked me to write a letter to the Security Company
to stop sending to him,his quarterly statement of account for fear
that his mails may be intercepted by the wrong people.
Based on this discovery, I now seek your permission to have you stand
in as a next of kin to the deceased, as all documentations will be
carefully worked out by me for the release of these funds all amounting
to the tune of (US$5,340,000.00).
This we have to do immediately because after five years the money will
be recalled to the bank`s treasury as unclaimed bills. It is on this
note i decided to seek a willing partner who will act as the next of
kin/beneficiary of Mr.Gerald Welsh rather than allow the bank Claim it.
It may interest you to know that we have secured from the probate
office,an order of mandamus to locate any of the deceased beneficiaries
The following will be required of you at this stage;
1.Your full name .In order for me to prepare the
documents for the transfer of the funds to your name.
2. Direct Telephone and fax numbers.For our private
and documentary correspondence.
Upon your acceptance I shall send you a copy of my
international passport for more confidentiality and trust. I shall
be compensating you with a million dollars ($1Million dollars) on
final conclusion of this project for your assistance and corraboration.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of the law.If this proposal is acceptable to you,
please endeavor to contact me immediately as you realise the urgency
and secrecy this transaction demands.
Regards,
Tunde Abayomi
