*Attention:Sir/Ma,*
I humbly crave your indulgence in sending you this mail, and I want you to
Study it with all seriousness of purpose.Before I start, I must first
apologize for this unsolicited mail to you. I am aware that this is
certainly an unconventional approach to establishing a relationship, but you
will realize the reason for my action after going through this email.
First let me introduce my self to you before any further discussion, I am a
established Lawyer. My name is *Frank Attah* from (*FRANK ATTAH CHAMBERS*)
and member of Nigeria Bar Association and the attorney at law to
Engineer *David
*his untimely death in May 2002 with his entire ho use hold were involved in
a Plane Crash at Kano State, enroute Abuja (The Capital City) all occupants
in the Plane lost their lives, nfortunately on this same flight were other
dignitaries like theSports Minister and a host of others.

Note that my late client left one person behind as his next of kin/sole
beneficiary till he died which is the Son not until the whole family were
involved in a plane crash they all lost their lives including the Son you
can see that there is no one for it. I Have made several enquiries to your
embassy Here to locate any of my late Clients extended relatives acting on
the directive of the *UNITED BANK OF AFRICA/STB*, issued to me on the *18th
of December 2002,* where my late client left behind a deposit of *US$7.4
million* American Dollars to come forward as his next of kin and lay claim
to the funds he left behind so that the Bank can renormalize the account and
remit the funds to the person. After several unsuccessful attempts at
locating his relatives, I have contacted you to come forward and claim the
money for you and me from the Bank, before it gets declared unserviceable
and confiscated by the Bank.
The said Bank has issued me another notice to provide the next of kin or
have the account confiscated within the next fourteen banking days *(14 days
*), so we have to act fast. Be informed that you have nothing to worry about
with regards this fact, you see the inheritance law clearly leaves any proof
of who is or is not the next of kin, to the deceased's lawyer to prove, as
the lawyer of the deceased the law states that I have the final say on who
is and is not the beneficiary of the deceased's estate and properties, All I
require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us see this
transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement.
I await your urgent response to enable us start this transaction in earnest
so we can proceed and also discuss the sharing ratio for the money between
us and the procedures to make the claim. Be informed also that the said Bank
from my Investigations has declared this account dormant and as such you
would have to apply to the bank as the sole beneficiary to the funds for the
claim of the money, after which the Bank would direct you on how to
re-activate the account back to normal and then you would instruct the Bank
on how you want your funds transferred to you. Upon your response I will
furnish you with the text of application letter you would send to the Bank
and the necessary information have to back up the claim application.
Your nationality does not matter as all modalities have been set to pay
whomever I present as the next of kin it will take us 14 days to conclude as
soon as you indicate your interest. I shall role out the modalities for the
actualization of this project as soon as I receive your email response.
Please, do accord this transaction the
Confidentiality it deserves.
I look forward to your mutually beneficial partnership.
Due regards to your family.
With God all things are possible.
Hope to hear from you as you receive this mail.
I hope this mail will be given the desire consideration.
*Best of regards, *
