Dear:Sir
I am Barrister Ben Chumas a solicitor at law.The personal attorney to a
late Mark ,foriegn expatriate who hails from your country and shares the
same last name with you.I wish to bring to your hearing a business proposition,
which is by nature strictly confidential, and i beg your
pardon to accept my unsolicited email to you, I will like to seek your help
in which I know that a deal of this magnitude will make anyone worried and
apprehensive but I am assuring you not to be afraid, as all will be well
at the end of this endeavor.This is a genuine transaction and is 100% risk
free.All I'm demanding from you is your honest co-operation to enable us
achieve our goal, and not a perfidious person. On the 6th of May, 2002 it
was reported to us that my Client, his wife and their only daughter were
involved in a Local Plane Crash at Kano State,enroute Abuja (The Capital
City) all occupants in the Plane lost their lives,unfortunately on this
same flight were other dignitaries like the Sports Minister and a host of
others. The following websites could be referenced:

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 track his last name over the
Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you.I contacted
you to assist in claiming this fund from the finance house where he deposited
it before his untimely death.The finance company where the deceased had
an account valued at about USD$7. million dollars has issued me a notice
to provide the next of kin or have the account confisicated within the next
ten official working days.
Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over 2 years
now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased
since you have the same last name so that the proceeds of this account valued
at USD$7. million dollars can be paid to you as the next of kin.All I need
is your full maximum suport and cooperation to enable us achieve this transaction
within 10 working days and I guarantee that this will be executed under
a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.If
you are interested in this transaction, kindly furnish me with your full
name, address, private telephone and fax numbers to enable us commence all
the legal documents immediately.
PLEASE SEND YOUR REPLY TO MY PRIVATE

Best regards,
Barrister Ben Chumas
