I am Barrister Henry Daniels (esq), the Personal Attorney to a Foreign
Contractor,who worked with a Multinational Oil Firm in Nigeria. On the 11th
of September 2001, my client, a American National, late Engineer A.Goins, an

death Three years ago in a ghastly terrorist attack to American Airlines
Flight 11, from Boston,Massachusetts,to Los Angeles, California,crashed into

behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by
the Bank where this huge deposits were lodged.
Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an account valued at about
US$15, Million has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin, relatives
so that the fund left will be transferred or have the account confiscated
within the next twenty official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the the relatives for over 3
years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the
deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$15,Million can be
paid to you and then you and I can share this money. 60% to me and 30% to
you,while 10% should be for expenses or tax as your Government may require.
All I require is your honest and co-operation to enable us see this deal
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. I will want
