Dear Friend,

my private search for a reliable person/company to handle a confidential
transaction my behalf .
l write in respect of a foreign customer with Trunk Number: 14-2558-2004,

The owner of this account Mr.Larry an American and great industrialist
and a resident of Alaska. Since the death of this our customer, Mr Larry
, I have kept a close monitoring of the deposit consignment and since then
nobody has come forward to claim the money in this consignment as beneficiary
to the late Mr.Larry. The total amount in the said consignment is US$28.2
million. It is only me as his private lawyer that has all the requirements
needed to clear this money, I can also produce the Code or password of
the deposit particulars. The funds can only be released to a foreigner,
as you know it will authenticate your claim of heirship.
As it stands now, there is nobody in the position to produce the needed
information other than my very . Based on the fact that Mr. Larry's family
perished in the same flight accident, leaving no one to put claim of the
deposit as the next of kin, I am seeking for a God fearing person's consent
and honest co-operation to present as the next of kin to late Larry and
arrange for the release of the funds to your honour for our mutual benefit.
This business will not take more than 10 working days, as long as we get
your full co-operation. If you are willing assist, do write back indicating
so that we may commence as you know that more delays might result in the
money returned to the Treasury I am willing to share this money with you
in the ratio of 70 - 30%. You shall have 30% of the funds and I shall share
the rest . I hope this is a fair sharing?
I look forward to hearing from you urgently so that we can proceed accordingly.
Thanks and best Regards.
Azubuike Igna
