RE: URGENT ASSISTANCE AS NEXT OF KIN OR RELATION.
I am Barr.Danede Fang. Solicitor and Personal Attorney to Mr. Bob Williams,
who worked with shell Development Company in Nigeria before his untimely
death as contractor. I came to you in my private search for a reliable
person to handle this confidential transaction, which involves huge sum of
money to your country.
It happens that on the January 31, 2000, my client and his wife were
involved in a plan crash with, the Alaska Airline flight 261 , while
returning to his country from a business trip and unfortunately all
occupants on board lost their life including ,my client and his wife. Since
then, I have made several enquiries to many countries Embassy in other to
locate any of my clients extended relatives that will stand for the claim of
his money as his relation or second next of kin but all this effort proved
unsuccessful. Meanwhile this is the website of the people that died in the
Alaska Airline flight
