I wish to bring to your hearing a business proposition,

this endeavor.
This is a genuine transaction and is 100% risk

co-operation to enable us achieve our goal, and
not a perfidious person. On the 4th of May, 2001
it was reported to us that my Client, his wife and
their only daughter were involved in a car accident along Sagbama Express
Road. All
occupants of the
vehicle unfortunately lost their liveS
Since then I have made several enquiries to your
embassy to locate any of my clients extended
relatives this has also proved nsuccessful. After
these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to
track his last name over the Internet, to locate
any member of his familybut to no avail. Hence I decided to contacted you. I
contacted you to assist in claiming this fund
from the finance house where he deposited it
before his untimely death.
The finance company where the deceased had an
account valued at about USD$10.8. 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 ,
so that the proceeds of this
account valued at USD$10.8. 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.

1.full name,
2.address,
3.private
4.sex

7.telephone and fax numbers
To enable us commence all the legal documents immediately.
