DEAR SIR
I am Barrister Bayo Morgan a solicitor at law.The
personal attorney to a late ad van de bor,foriegn
expatriate who hails from your country .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

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

Barrister BAYO MORGAN
