Dear friend
Good day to you :
I am Barrister Ben Chumas a solicitor at law.The personal attorney to a late
Mark Smith,I wish to bring to your hearing a business proposition, which
isby 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.

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 yearsnow
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 alegitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breachof
the law.
If you are interested in this transaction, kindly furnish me with your fullname,
address, private telephone and fax numbers to enable us commence allthe legal
documents immediately.
Best regards,
Barrister Ben Chumas
