Dear Sir,
I am barrister FRED COOPER, a solicitor at law, I am the Personal Attorney

unsuccessful.I am now contacting you on basis to secure your assistance in
claiming sums of money left behind by my client to forestall confiscation
and possible declaration of his account as non-serviceable by the bank where
this money was deposited.
The said Bank where my late client had an account for a value ofUS$8.37
million dollars has issued me with six months notice to provide the Next of
kin/relative of my late client, or have the funds confiscated and be
declared abandoned due to no relative was presented to claim his
entitlement.
However,at this juncture, I seek your consent to present you as the Next of
kin of the deceased so that the lodgments of this account valued at
US$8.37million dollars can be transferred to you by legitimate inheritance
provisions as my client's Next of Kin.
This sum of money can thereafter be mutually disbursed by an agreed
percentage between my chambers and you afterwards.All legal documents to
back up your claim as the deceased Next of Kin,will be available and
provided to you on request by my chambers as witness to your status as
bonafide inheritor. I therefore solicit your honest co-operation to enable
us see this enterprise to finality.
Once again I re-assure you that this will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
