Subject: HELLO
Dear Friend, No name next of kin
Good day to you and your family. I am writing you this message as regard to
my late client who used to work with shell development Oil Company in
Nigeria. He left the sum of Ten million United States dollars with some
properties worth about eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars. While going
through some of is documents left behind I saw your name and information
which stated that you are a relative to my late client. As a lawyer and a
personal attorney to the deceased, I am now asked to provide the Next-Of-Kin
of my late client by the Bank here in Nigeria where he works for an oil
company. As a result of this I am now contacting you to come and claim what
belongs to my late client.
However, as the personal attorney and close confidant of my late client, I
know that he did not leave any WILL (because of his sudden death) which
means that this money will therefore be paid into the account of whomever I
present as the Next-Of-Kin with proofs. Note: That your nationality and area
of specialization does not matter, therefore I am seeking for your consent
and assistance to present you as the true beneficiary and Next-Of-Kin to my
late client. This transaction is 100% risk free and is expected take about
14 working days to conclude as soon as you indicate your interest.
N.B: As you know INHERITANCE is not a crime all over the world, but may be a
crime only when you do not follow the Rules of the International Law of
Inheritance. In this transaction we shall follow strictly to all the rules
of the International Law of Inheritance and obtain all the necessary
transaction documents from the appropriate authorities to prove that the
inheritance/fund is genuine. All that is required of you is to act as a
relative /next of kin and also provide a safe bank account for the payment
of the money to you. As soon as payment is effected and the amount mentioned
above is successfully transferred into your account, I will meet with you in
your country for the sharing of the funds.
If you are ready to give me your full cooperation and receive this money
into your custody, then confirm your interest by contacting me through the
email account provided below, and I will furnish you with an adequate detail
of how we shall achieve success in this project. Furthermore send me your
personal phone number for easy and effective communication.
You can easily contact me through my private e-mail address.

I await your urgent response,
Best regards.
Richard Clark. Esq.
