DEAR Whittington
I am Barrister Henry Jonhson a solicitor at law.The personal attorney to
a late Mark.Whittington ,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$9. 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 pre=
sent 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$9. 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 ths 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
