Dear Walk,
Am Mr.eze Mandell, in charge of Bills and Foreign Exchange Remittance
Department with a Finance House. I am writing you this letter to ask for
your support and co-operation to carry out this business opportunity in my
department. I discovered an unclaimed sum of $25Million (Twenty five
Million Dollars) deposited belonging to (Mr. John Walk), a native of your
country. Who was a petroleum/gas onsultant/contactor with the Nigeria
National Petroleum Corporation who happens to be deceased during a business
trip? He died with his wife and three children on board the Swissair Flight
111, which crashed into the Atlantic off Nova Scotia in September 2nd 1998.
The plane crash was in the news. See links below for more detail
information:

Since we got information about his death I have been expecting his next of
kin to come over and claim his money. Unfortunately, neither the family nor
the relation has appeared to claim this money's we cannot release this money
unless somebody applies as the next of kin or relation to the deceased.
I therefore decided to look for a foreigner who has the same surname with my
client.
Our guidelines indicated that if such money remained unclaimed for a period
of eight (8) years, it would be transferred into the Finance House Treasury
as unclaimed fund. I decided to transfer this money into your account as the
next of kin or relation of the deceased for easy collection since nobody is
coming for it and I don't want this money to go back into the Finance House
treasury as the unclaimed debt.
I have decided to give you 25% of the total sum. There is no risk involved.
Because I will use my position as an Officer and prepare all the legal
documents/papers. I will do my best to see that we conclude this transaction
successfully on time. Please if you are interested send me an immediate
mail.
Please your Cell phone and fax is required for easy communication

Respectfully,
Mr Eze Mandell
