Subject: GET BACK TO ME ASAP
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Barr.Maxwell Casmir. (Esq.), a Solicitor. I am the Personal Attorney to
Mr. Fredrick , a national of your country, who is an oil merchant in
Nigeria. On the monday 31st of july 2000, my client, his wife and their two
children were involved in a plane crash on his way to his country. All
occupants of the plane unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have
made several enquiries to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this
has proven unsuccessful. you can click

After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives
over the Internet, but of no avail, hence I mandated my secretary to search
for any possible relative of my late clients in the Internet before the bank
get the account confiscated or declared unserviceable, the bank where the
deceased had an account valued at about USD$12 million (TWELVE MILLION
DOLLARS) The bank has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have
the account confiscated within the next 14 working days. I then decided to
present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you are from the same
country and bear the same surname. The said amount will be paid to you if
you comply immediately with all the necessary documents of the deceased in
my possession. Immediately the money is paid to you, 60% of the total amount
will be for me, 30% for you, while the remaining 10% should be for expenses
or taxation as your government may required.
I have all the necessary legal documents that can be used to back up our
claim. All I required from you is your honest co-operation and assistance to
enable us sees this transaction through. I guarantee you that this will be
executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any
breach of the law. In other words, every document to affect this process
will emanate from my table and I will perfect every document to be in
accordance with the banking law and guidelines. So you have nothing to worry
about, because we have all the legal documents to back it up when the fund
is finally hits your chosen bank account.
Please be rest assured that this transaction is 100% risk-free. Note that
the particular nature of your company's business is irrelevant to this
transaction. If this proposal is acceptable by you, to assist me achieve
this goal, please endeavour to contact me through my private email address
