Dear Friend
Compliments.
I am Barrister Adebayo Uzo.a solicitor at law. The personal attorney to a
late(Mark James ) foriegn expatriate who hails from your country and shares
the same surname 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 Local Plane Crash at Kano State,enroute Abuja (The Capital
City) all occupants in the Plane lost their lives,unfortunately on this same
flight were other dignitaries like the Sports Minister and a host of others.

Since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of my clients
extended relatives this has also proved unsuccessful. 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 Bank where the deceased
had an account valued at about USD$10 million dollars has issued me a notice
to provide the next of kin or have the account confisicated within the next
ten official working days. Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the
relatives for over 2 years now I seek your consent to present you as the
next of kin of the deceased since you bear the same surname with him so that
the proceeds of this account valued at USD$10 million dollars can be paid
to you as the next of kin.
All I need is your full maximum suport 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. If you are interested in this transaction, kindly furnish
me with your full name, address, private telephone and fax numbers to enable
us commence all the legal documents immediately. As soon as I hear from you,
we{you and I} will then discuss on the modalities of sharing the fund {$10M
USD} once collected from the holding Bank.
Please send your reply via (adebayomusa@myway.com )
Best regards.
Barrister Adebayo Uzo.
