My Dear,
I am Barrister Dickson Paul personal attorney to Engr. John, a national of
your country, who used to work with Zenon Oil Company in Africa herein
after, shall be referred to as my client. My client with his wife were
involved in the Tsunami disaster on their vacation trip to Seychelles in
Africa oa Tourrist visit which,claimed many lives and property.
Unfortunately,my client and the wife lost their lives in that disaster that
needed not to have happened. Since then I have made several inquiries to
your embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives this has also
proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to contact you as your
information was given to me by a friend of mind that works with the British
stock ex-charge
My purpose of contacting you is to assist in repatriating the money and
property left behind by my client prior to his death before they get
confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits
were lodged and where the deceased had an account valued at about US$13.3
Million dollars.
See the 2 website of the bomb explosion below: -

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/2718295.stm
The guidelines of the bank stipulates that if any deposit remained
unserviced for over a period of 6 months without the fund claimed, the said
deposit will be confiscated and this will happen with some couple of
official working months if nobody comes for the money. The Bank had issued
me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over two weeks,
I seek your consent as the next of kin of the deceased so that the proceeds
of this account valued at US$13.3 million dollars can be paid to you. I have
all the necessary official and legal documents that can be used to back up
your claim. All I require is your honest co-operation to enable me as the
legal attorney to the deceased in seeing that you receive your inheritance
fund.I guarantee that this will be executed legitimately to protect you from
any breach of the law. I Implore you to get back to me via my alternative
email address : (barrdicksonpaul@yahoo.co.uk) Upon your acceptance to claim
the inheritance fund.
Looking forward to hear from you.
With best regards,
Barrrister Dickson Paul
