Greetings,.

I feel quite safe dealing with you in this business proposition having gone through your remarkable profile on the Internet. Though, this medium (Internet) has been greatly abused, I decided to reach you through it because it still remains the fastest,surest and most secure medium of communication.
However, this correspondence is unofficial and private, and it should be treated as such.
It is with trust and confidence that I write to you. I am Du Plessis Smith a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney to Dr. Frederic Pierre citizen of France, who used to work with Chevron Texaco Company in Saudi Arabia and was personal physician to top Saudi and Iraqi Government officials.

My client, his wife and their three children were killed by U.S Coalition Force in Basra Iraq. Before the sudden death of my client {Late Dr. Frederic Pierre} he was on what became his last trip to Johannesburg, during this trip, he bought a farm worth over Three Million Two Hundred Thousand United States Dollars S$3.2M) in Mpumalanga, in Northern Province of South Africa and also made a deposit as family belongings in a sealed box {as Antiques} containing the sum of Fifteen Million United States Dollars (US$15M) with Bambanani Safe Corporation here in
Johannesburg for himself, with the hope of relocating and establishing a business in South Africa with his entire family due to the current war going on in Iraq.

Since his death, I have made several enquiries to their embassy to locate any of my deceased clients existing relatives to no avail. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his last name over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I found your contact and decided to write to you. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the
Bambanani Safe Corporation where these Consignments (Money) were Deposited. Particularly, the Bambanani Safe Corporation where the deceased deposited the Consignment valued at about Fifteen Million United States Dollars (US$15M) has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin within ten official working days.

Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over Two (2) years now, I seek your
consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased so that the proceeds of this Consignments (Money) valued at Fifteen Million United States Dollars (US$15M) can be claimed by you and then you and I can share the money. 50% to me and 40% to you and the other 10% will be for expenses each of us would incur, my firm as the legal representative to late Dr.
Frederic Pierre will provide all the legal documentations that will be used to back up any claim
we may make. Secondly, your nationality has no impact on the claiming.

All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us conclude this transaction. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.

NOTE: Please reply to Email: dupleisjager@netscape.net

Best regards,
Du Plessis Smith (Esq.)
