Attn:Sir,
I am Barrister CHARLES ONOH, a solicitor at law. The personal attorney
to a late Fredrick , foreign 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

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$10.6 million dollars has issued me a notice to provide the next of
kin or have the account confiscated within the next ten official
working days.Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2years 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$10.6 million dollars can be paid to you as the next of kin.
All I need is your full maximum support 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. And I will also like you to indicate your interest by sending your:
(a) Full name and address.
(b) Your private telephone and fax number.
(c) Age and sex.
With these information's from you, we will proceed with this
transaction as the next of kin to late Mr. Fredrick. To enable us commence all the Legal documents immediately.

VERY IMPORTANT YOU REPLY
