Please permit me to introduce myself to you; I am Barrister Peter Orro, a
Legal Practitioner in London, United Kingdom. I got your contact from the UK
Chambers of Commerce and Trade, and I have decided to contact you so that we
can carry out this mutually beneficial business transaction. BEFORE I

My late Client Mr Harold Wilson an American, until his death deposited a
total of US$15.5M three years ago with a Bank in London, United Kingdom. He
was a Director with Shell Petroleum Development Company in Gabon, Central
Africa.
Since I am the personal attorney of Mr. Harold Wilson, he gave me the
Custody of the deposit documents, and as such entrusted me with the Legal
Rights to transfer and execute this deposit to any Next of Kin after his
demise. I have since tried to locate any Next of Kin to Harold Wilson
without success; hence I decided to contact you so that you can rightfully
stand as the next of kin to inherit the deposited sum.
This is a staggering sum, and I need a reliable person to help me with
necessary arrangements to transfer the deposited sum out of the United
Kingdom. By virtue of my position as an Attorney, I will arrange the
documents in your name so that you can rightly apply as a Next of Kin to
Late Harold Wilson in a capacity of a Family Friend.
You will be entitled to 40% of the total sum should you be willing to Assist
me in this business transaction, and I will get the remaining 50% While 10%
will be donated to the Hurricane Katrina relief programs. I will prepare a
formal agreement to guide us in this transaction for accountability purpose.
Please contact me as soon as possible so that we can start processing the
documents. I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours truly,
Barrister Peter Orro
