Compliment of the day .

Good Friend,

I know that this mail will come to you as a surprise,please accept the
content in good faith. I do not intend to cause any grief to you and
yourfamily. The reason for sending this mail is very fundamental to the
doctrine of human privileges and right.

My name is Barrister Fred Briggs, a legal practitioner and the
personal Attorney to late Mr. Raymond , who died along with his wife and Two
sons in a ghastly motor accident along Sagamu express road Ibadan, over 3 years
now (August 13, 2000). All the occupants in the vehicle lost their lives. I
am convinced that it was the grace of God that made me to locate you.

My client was a successful and is an accomplished family man, who made
enough fortune before his untimely death. Since then I had made several
enquiries through your Embassy to locate any of my clients extended
relative but this exercise has proved unsuccessful. After several unsuccessful
attempts, I decided to trace his relatives through the Internet, to
locate any member of his family, not much progress was recorded.

My late client was an influential wealthy businessman, an oil magnet
here in Nigeria and he left behind a deposit of Twenty Million United States Dollars
($20,000,000.00usd) in his domiciliary bank account in a commercial
bank here in Lagos.

After the death of my client his bankers contacted me, as his Attorney
to provide his next of kin who should inherit his funds. The board of
directors of his bank adopted a resolution and I was mandated to provide his next
of kin for the payment of this money within 28 working days or forfeit the
money to the bank as an abandoned property.

The bankers had planned to invoke the abandoned property decree of 1996
to confiscate the funds after the expiration of the period given to me.

Fortunately, I came across your name, to my greatest astonishment, I
discovered that you bear the same surname with my late client and
coincidentally, you are nationals of the same country. Being convinced
that you may be related with my late client or that you might provide clue
to my search, I therefore,decided to contact with these facts before me,
because of the similarities.

By virtue of my closeness to the deceased and his immediate family, I
am very much aware of my client financial standing and the bank account he
operates.

I have reasoned very professionally and I feel it will be legally
proper to present you as the next of kin of my deceased client, so that you can
be paid the funds left in his bank account. I therefore seek your consent
to present you as the Next of Kin to the Deceased since you are at an
advantage, bearing the same surname and equally from the same country,
that the proceeds of this Bank Account valued at $20 Million Dollars can be
paid to you. We shall both share the funds. 45% for me and 45% to you, while
10% should be for Expenses or your Government may require Taxes.

I shall assemble all the necessary Legal Documents that will be used to
back up our claim. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us
seeing this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law. Please get in
touch with me by email to enable us discuss further. For privacy and
confidentiality reply using my email box. (barrfredbriggs@hotmail.com)
