Dearest beloveth,
GOOD DAY TO YOU!
If you will understand that everywhere in this world people could deposite
money in different banks and later if they died, few do leave the money
there unclaimed? I am retired Medical Doctor Tope John Raw, a personal doctor
to Mr. Richard Burson and wife Mrs. Venor Burson of Venice Isles, Florida.USA
, who used to work with Shell Development Company In Nigeria. He was very
nice to me and also promised me a contract and also promised to help my
two sons come over to U.S.A to give them connections and also help them
finacially and educationally, so i remain loyal and took care
of his family here.
On the 2nd of November 1999, my late friend and his wife unfortunately lost
he and his wife's life aboard Egypt Air Flight 990, which crashed in to
the Atlantic Ocean and left no clear beneficiary as Next of Kin (news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm).
All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost there lives. Since then
i have made several enquiries to his Embassy to locate any of my clients
extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several
unsuccessful
attempts, I decided to trace his relatives over the Internet, to locate
any member of his family but Of no avail.
Hence i contacted you. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the
money that belongs to my late American friend before they get confiscated
or declared Unserviceable By the Amicable Finance Security Company in Republic
of Benin where this huge deposits were lodged, the Amicable Security Company
In Republic of Benin where the deceased had his funds well-packed in boxes
label in his name called Consignment valued at about US$50 (Fifty Million

or have his deposited funds confiscated within the next twenty official
working days. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives,
for over One month now. I seek your consent to present you as the next Of
kin of the deceased since I now have no alternative, so that the proceeds
of this funds valued at $50 million dollars can be paid to you and then
you and me can share the money.
I have agreed that 55% to me and 40% to you, while 5% should be for expenses
Or tax as your government may require. Do understand that I have borrowed
over $11,650 to pay for the dumerrage charges and also to obtain the Airway
bill Certificate that will be used to back up any claim we may make which
is very important and i will advise you that we both will handle this business
with matured minds because any third person might want to ruin this great
opportunity we both have been labouring for Ok. All I require is your honest
cooperation to enable us see this dealt through as I am already in good
contact with the Amicable Finance Security Company in Republic of Benin
for this funds release and transfer. I only need now to present your information
as the next of kin and the reciever of the funds. I guarantee that this
will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from
any breach of the law. Please get in touch with me by my private e-mail
